Returns a list of tasks

Source: R/ecs_operations.R
ecs_list_tasks.Rd

Returns a list of tasks. You can filter the results by cluster, task definition family, container instance, launch type, what IAM principal started the task, or by the desired status of the task.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/ecs_list_tasks/ for full documentation.

Usage

ecs_list_tasks(
  cluster = NULL,
  containerInstance = NULL,
  family = NULL,
  nextToken = NULL,
  maxResults = NULL,
  startedBy = NULL,
  serviceName = NULL,
  desiredStatus = NULL,
  launchType = NULL,
  daemonName = NULL
)

Arguments

cluster

The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster to use when filtering the list_tasks results. If you do not specify a cluster, the default cluster is assumed.

containerInstance

The container instance ID or full ARN of the container instance to use when filtering the list_tasks results. Specifying a containerInstance limits the results to tasks that belong to that container instance.

family

The name of the task definition family to use when filtering the list_tasks results. Specifying a family limits the results to tasks that belong to that family.

nextToken

The nextToken value returned from a list_tasks request indicating that more results are available to fulfill the request and further calls will be needed. If maxResults was provided, it's possible the number of results to be fewer than maxResults.

This token should be treated as an opaque identifier that is only used to retrieve the next items in a list and not for other programmatic purposes.

maxResults

The maximum number of task results that list_tasks returned in paginated output. When this parameter is used, list_tasks only returns maxResults results in a single page along with a nextToken response element. The remaining results of the initial request can be seen by sending another list_tasks request with the returned nextToken value. This value can be between 1 and 100. If this parameter isn't used, then list_tasks returns up to 100 results and a nextToken value if applicable.

startedBy

The startedBy value to filter the task results with. Specifying a startedBy value limits the results to tasks that were started with that value.

When you specify startedBy as the filter, it must be the only filter that you use.

serviceName

The name of the service to use when filtering the list_tasks results. Specifying a serviceName limits the results to tasks that belong to that service.

desiredStatus

The task desired status to use when filtering the list_tasks results. Specifying a desiredStatus of STOPPED limits the results to tasks that Amazon ECS has set the desired status to STOPPED. This can be useful for debugging tasks that aren't starting properly or have died or finished. The default status filter is RUNNING, which shows tasks that Amazon ECS has set the desired status to RUNNING.

Although you can filter results based on a desired status of PENDING, this doesn't return any results. Amazon ECS never sets the desired status of a task to that value (only a task's lastStatus may have a value of PENDING).

launchType

The launch type to use when filtering the list_tasks results.

daemonName

The name of the daemon to use when filtering the list_tasks results. Specifying a daemonName limits the results to tasks that belong to that daemon.
