Module awsrun.commands.aws.dx_status

Display the status of Direct Connects and VIFs.

Overview

The dx_status command displays a list of Direct Connects found as well as a summary of each including a sparkline showing the past 1 hour 95th percentile.

$ awsrun --account 100200300400 dx_status --region us-west-2

For a larger visualization with more detail, use --height options to specify the number of lines to use. For example:

$ awsrun --account 100200300400 dx_status --region us-west-2 --height 5

To disable the visualization altogether, specify a 0 height:

$ awsrun --account 100200300400 dx_status --region us-west-2 --height 0
100200300400/us-west-2: dxcon-xxxxxx00 DC1 to US-WEST         AVAILABLE  1 Gbps  234 VIFs (2 down)
100200300400/us-west-2: dxcon-xxxxxx01 DC1 to US-WEST         AVAILABLE  1 Gbps  143 VIFs (6 down)
100200300400/us-west-2: dxcon-xxxxxx02 DC2 to US-WEST         AVAILABLE  1 Gbps  233 VIFs (1 down)
100200300400/us-west-2: dxcon-xxxxxx03 DC2 to US-WEST         AVAILABLE  1 Gbps  143 VIFs (2 down)

Use the --hours or --days flags to specify the range for the graphs. In addition, by default, the 95th percentile is used as an aggregation, but the --stat flag can specify either "Average", "Mimimum", "Maximum", "p90", "p95", "p99", "p99.9". For example, to view the 99th percentile over the past week:

$ awsrun --account 100200300400 dx_status --region us-west-2 --days 7 --stat p99.9

By default, the scale of the y-axis is fixed to the bandwidth of the circuit regardless of utilization, so it is easy to distinguish a lightly utilized circuit from a heavily utilized circuit. To use a variable scale on the y-axis, use the --auto-scale option:

$ awsrun --account 100200300400 dx_status --region us-west-2 --height 5 --auto-scale

Synopsis

$ awsrun [options] dx_status [command options]

Configuration

The following is the syntax for the options that can be specified in the user configuration file:

Commands:
  dx_status:
    verbose: BOOLEAN
    stat: ("Average" | "Minimum" | "Maximum" | "p90" | "p95" | "p99" | "p99.9")
    height: INT
    auto_scale: BOOLEAN
    hours: INT
    days: INT
    region:
      - STRING

Command Options

Some options can be overridden on the awsrun CLI via command line flags. In those cases, the CLI flags are specified next to the option name below:

verbose, --verbose
Include a line of output for each VIF associated with the Direct Connect, which contains the VIF ID, VLAN, owning account, and the Direct Connect it is associated with. The default value is False.
stat, --stat STRING
Specifies the aggregation function for the bandwidth utilization sparklines and charts. By default, the 95th percentile is used, but this can be one of the values specified in the configuration section above.
height, --height INT
Controls how Direct Connect utilization is shown. A value of 0 will prevent any utilization information from being shown (and is faster as it avoids making CloudWatch calls). A value of 1, the default, will display utilization as a sparkline that consumes one line of output. To use an ASCII-based chart instead, specify a value greater than 1 to indicate how many rows in height the charts should occupy.
auto_scale, --auto-scale
By default, the maximum y-axis value for the bandwidth utilization sparklines and charts is the total bandwidth of the Direct Connect. This makes it easy to compare multiple circuits as the graphs are all based on the percentage of the bandwidth being used. Alternatively, specifying this option will result in a y-axis that is set to the maximum value for each sparkline/chart. While useful to get more precise graphs, it makes comparing mulitple circuits more difficult.
hours, --hours INT
Specifies how many hours of utilization data to retrieve from CloudWatch. The default value is 1-hour. This option is mutually exclusive with the days option discussed next.
days, --days INT
Specifies how many days of utilization days to retrieve from CloudWatch. This option is mutually exclusive with the hours option. There is no default value as hours is used instead.
region, --region REGION
Run the command in the specified regions. When specifying multiple values on the command line, use multiple flags for each value.

`verbose`, `--verbose`

: Specifies how many days of utilization days to retrieve from CloudWatch. This
option is mutually exclusive with the `hours` option. There is no default value

`region`, `--region REGION`
: Run the command in the specified regions. When specifying multiple values on
the command line, use multiple flags for each value.
