The Amazon SSM multi-region endpoint

http://ssm.{region}.amazonaws.com

POST

Associates the specified Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) with the specified managed nodes or targets.

When you associate a document with one or more managed nodes using IDs or tags, Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) running on the managed node processes the document and configures the node as specified.

If you associate a document with a managed node that already has an associated document, the system returns the AssociationAlreadyExists exception.

Request Example

Shell

JavaScript

Java

Swift

curl --location -g --request POST 'http://ssm.{region}.amazonaws.com/' \
--header 'X-Amz-Target;' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "Entries": []
}'

Response Example

200 - Example 1

Request

Header Params

X-Amz-Target

string

required

Body Params application/json

Entries

array[object (CreateAssociationBatchRequestEntry) {19}]

required

One or more associations.

>= 1 items

Name

string

required

The name of the SSM document that contains the configuration information for the managed node. You can specify Command or Automation runbooks.

You can specify Amazon Web Services-predefined documents, documents you created, or a document that is shared with you from another account.

For SSM documents that are shared with you from other Amazon Web Services accounts, you must specify the complete SSM document ARN, in the following format:

arn:aws:ssm:region:account-id:document/document-name

For example:

arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:12345678912:document/My-Shared-Document

For Amazon Web Services-predefined documents and SSM documents you created in your account, you only need to specify the document name. For example, AWS-ApplyPatchBaseline or My-Document.

Match pattern:

^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-.:/]{3,128}$

InstanceId

string

optional

The managed node ID.

Match pattern:

(^i-(\w{8}|\w{17})$)|(^mi-\w{17}$)

Parameters

object

optional

A description of the parameters for a document.

AutomationTargetParameterName

string

optional

Specify the target for the association. This target is required for associations that use an Automation runbook and target resources by using rate controls. Automation is a capability of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager.

>= 1 characters<= 50 characters

DocumentVersion

string

optional

The document version.

Match pattern:

([$]LATEST|[$]DEFAULT|^[1-9][0-9]*$)

Targets

array [object]

optional

The managed nodes targeted by the request.

>= 0 items<= 5 items

ScheduleExpression

string

optional

A cron expression that specifies a schedule when the association runs.

>= 1 characters<= 256 characters

OutputLocation

object

optional

An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.

AssociationName

string

optional

Specify a descriptive name for the association.

Match pattern:

^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]{3,128}$

MaxErrors

string

optional

The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops sending requests to run the association on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops sending requests when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops sending requests after the first error is returned. If you run an association on 50 managed nodes and set MaxError to 10%, then the system stops sending the request when the sixth error is received.

Executions that are already running an association when MaxErrors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won't be more than max-errors failed executions, set MaxConcurrency to 1 so that executions proceed one at a time.

>= 1 characters<= 7 characters

Match pattern:

^([1-9][0-9]*|[0]|[1-9][0-9]%|[0-9]%|100%)$

MaxConcurrency

string

optional

The maximum number of targets allowed to run the association at the same time. You can specify a number, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. The default value is 100%, which means all targets run the association at the same time.

If a new managed node starts and attempts to run an association while Systems Manager is running MaxConcurrency associations, the association is allowed to run. During the next association interval, the new managed node will process its association within the limit specified for MaxConcurrency.

>= 1 characters<= 7 characters

Match pattern:

^([1-9][0-9]*|[1-9][0-9]%|[1-9]%|100%)$

ComplianceSeverity

enum<string>

optional

The severity level to assign to the association.

Allowed values:

CRITICALHIGHMEDIUMLOWUNSPECIFIED

SyncCompliance

enum<string>

optional

The mode for generating association compliance. You can specify AUTO or MANUAL. In AUTO mode, the system uses the status of the association execution to determine the compliance status. If the association execution runs successfully, then the association is COMPLIANT. If the association execution doesn't run successfully, the association is NON-COMPLIANT.

In MANUAL mode, you must specify the AssociationId as a parameter for the PutComplianceItems API operation. In this case, compliance data isn't managed by State Manager, a capability of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. It is managed by your direct call to the PutComplianceItems API operation.

By default, all associations use AUTO mode.

Allowed values:

AUTOMANUAL

ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval

boolean

optional

By default, when you create a new associations, the system runs it immediately after it is created and then according to the schedule you specified. Specify this option if you don't want an association to run immediately after you create it. This parameter isn't supported for rate expressions.

CalendarNames

array[string]

optional

optional

The details for the CloudWatch alarm you want to apply to an automation or command.
