The type of OpsItem to create. Systems Manager supports the following types of OpsItems:

/aws/issue

This type of OpsItem is used for default OpsItems created by OpsCenter.
/aws/changerequest

This type of OpsItem is used by Change Manager for reviewing and approving or rejecting change requests.
/aws/insights

This type of OpsItem is used by OpsCenter for aggregating and reporting on duplicate OpsItems.

OperationalData

object

optional

Operational data is custom data that provides useful reference details about the OpsItem. For example, you can specify log files, error strings, license keys, troubleshooting tips, or other relevant data. You enter operational data as key-value pairs. The key has a maximum length of 128 characters. The value has a maximum size of 20 KB.

You can choose to make the data searchable by other users in the account or you can restrict search access. Searchable data means that all users with access to the OpsItem Overview page (as provided by the DescribeOpsItems API operation) can view and search on the specified data. Operational data that isn't searchable is only viewable by users who have access to the OpsItem (as provided by the GetOpsItem API operation).

Use the /aws/resources key in OperationalData to specify a related resource in the request. Use the /aws/automations key in OperationalData to associate an Automation runbook with the OpsItem. To view Amazon Web Services CLI example commands that use these keys, see Creating OpsItems manually in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
