AWS::ResourceExplorer2::View

Creates a view that users can query by using the Search operation. Results from queries that you make using this view include only resources that match the view's Filters.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::ResourceExplorer2::View",
  "Properties" : {
      "Filters" : SearchFilter,
      "IncludedProperties" : [ IncludedProperty, ... ],
      "Scope" : String,
      "Tags" : {Key: Value, ...},
      "ViewName" : String
    }
}

YAML

Type: AWS::ResourceExplorer2::View
Properties:
  Filters: 
    SearchFilter
  IncludedProperties: 
    - IncludedProperty
  Scope: String
  Tags: 
    Key: Value
  ViewName: String

Properties

Filters

An array of strings that include search keywords, prefixes, and operators that filter the results that are returned for queries made using this view. When you use this view in a Search operation, the filter string is combined with the search's QueryString parameter using a logical AND operator.

For information about the supported syntax, see Search query reference for Resource Explorer in the AWS Resource Explorer User Guide.

Important

This query string in the context of this operation supports only filter prefixes with optional operators. It doesn't support free-form text. For example, the string region:us* service:ec2 -tag:stage=prod includes all Amazon EC2 resources in any AWS Region that begin with the letters us and are not tagged with a key Stage that has the value prod.
