🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ec2min ([ec2-monitor-instances])

💜 GENERAL NOTES 💜

okay so this is important, don't skip it: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - to say "bestie, read the values for that option from stdin instead." stdin is doing the talking now 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So like. You have instances. Some are running. Some are pending. This tool monitors the ones you pick out. That's it, that's the job 👑

The INSTANCE parameter is an instance ID to monitor. Simple as that, no cap.

👑 GENERAL OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per option, we're not skipping a single one, periodt:

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. Defaults to whatever AWS_ACCESS_KEY is set to in the environment (if it's set at all).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. Defaults to the value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if set).
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — the AWS delegation token. Defaults to the value of the AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN environment variable (if set).
  • -K, --private-key KEY — [DEPRECATED] specify KEY as the private key to use. Defaults to the value of the EC2_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (if set). Overrides the default.
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. Defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set). Overrides the default.
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. Defaults to https://ec2.amazonaws.com (that's us-east-1) or to the value of the EC2_URL environment variable (if set). Overrides the default.
