Gets the console output for the specified instance

Description

Gets the console output for the specified instance. For Linux instances, the instance console output displays the exact console output that would normally be displayed on a physical monitor attached to a computer. For Windows instances, the instance console output includes the last three system event log errors.

For more information, see Instance console output in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Usage

ec2_get_console_output(InstanceId, Latest, DryRun)

Arguments

  • InstanceId

    [required] The ID of the instance.

  • Latest

    When enabled, retrieves the latest console output for the instance.

    Default: disabled (false)

  • DryRun

    "2015-01-01"
  ),
  Output = "string"
