2018/04/19 - Amazon Simple Systems Manager (SSM) - 2 new 1 updated api methods

Changes  Added new APIs DeleteInventory and DescribeInventoryDeletions, for customers to delete their custom inventory data.

DeleteInventory (new) Link ¶

Delete a custom inventory type, or the data associated with a custom Inventory type. Deleting a custom inventory type is also referred to as deleting a custom inventory schema.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.delete_inventory(
    TypeName='string',
    SchemaDeleteOption='DisableSchema'|'DeleteSchema',
    DryRun=True|False,
    ClientToken='string'
)
type TypeName

string

param TypeName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the custom inventory type for which you want to delete either all previously collected data, or the inventory type itself.

type SchemaDeleteOption

string

param SchemaDeleteOption

Use the SchemaDeleteOption to delete a custom inventory type (schema). If you don't choose this option, the system only deletes existing inventory data associated with the custom inventory type. Choose one of the following options:

DisableSchema: If you choose this option, the system ignores all inventory data for the specified version, and any earlier versions. To enable this schema again, you must call the PutInventory action for a version greater than the disbled version.

DeleteSchema: This option deletes the specified custom type from the Inventory service. You can recreate the schema later, if you want.

type DryRun

boolean

param DryRun

Use this option to view a summary of the deletion request without deleting any data or the data type. This option is useful when you only want to understand what will be deleted. Once you validate that the data to be deleted is what you intend to delete, you can run the same command without specifying the DryRun option.

type ClientToken

string

param ClientToken

User-provided idempotency token.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

rtype

dict

returns
