Overview

AWSRetriever scans sets of predefined AWS APIs, saved in "profile" files.

Profiles are json based files, holding a (potentially) very long list of operations to run. AWSRetriever is shipped with a default.profile.js, that holds a generic wide-variety of calls.

The profile is scanned when choosing "Full Scan" from the side-bar menu, or using the command-line parameter -p (combined with -r)

Profiles can be saved & loaded. The default profile loaded is defined in the configuration file.

A typical use-case is to define and test profiles for various AWS resources views and then use the CLI to periodically retrieve the items from AWS.

Command-line interface

To export all items provided in my ec2.profile.js, and save them in object.json, use the following switches:

>AWSRetriever.exe -r -p ec2.profile.js -o objects.json
AWS Retriever
Using profile: 'ec2.profile.js'
Writing to 'objects.json'
Queueing from 'default' profile...1825 operations queued.
Scanning...

To export all items to myobjects.json using the default profile and settings:

>AWSRetriever.exe -r -o myobjects.json
AWS Retriever
Using profile: 'default.profile.js'
Writing to 'myobjects.json'
Queueing from 'default' profile...1825 operations queued.
Scanning...
EC2 DescribeInternetGateways ap-northeast-1: 1 items retrieved
EC2 DescribeInternetGateways ap-south-1: 1 items retrieved
EC2 DescribeInternetGateways ap-northeast-2: 1 items retrieved
EC2 DescribeInternetGateways ca-central-1: 1 items retrieved
.
.
.

The resulting myobjects.json file, holds a JSON array with the following structure:

[
    {
        // the type of the object listed:
        "Type": "InternetGateway",
        // the service it was retrieved from:
        "Service": "EC2",
        // the region:
        "Region": "ap-northeast-2",
        //the object itself, will change according to the object:
        "Source": {
            "Attachments": [
                {
                    "State": {
                        "Value": "available"
                    },
                    "VpcId": "vpc-e2e9f18a"
                }
            ],
            "InternetGatewayId": "igw-0562ad6d",
            "OwnerId": "000000000000",
            "Tags": []
        }
    },
    {
    // more objects...
    }
]

Profile Record

Each profile record holds:

 {
    // AWS service to execute
    "ServiceName": "EC2",
    // Specific API to execute:
    "Name": "DescribeInternetGateways",
    // A list of regions to call:
    "Regions": "ap-northeast-1 ap-northeast-2 ap-south-1 ap-southeast-1 ap-southeast-2 ca-central-1 eu-central-1 eu-north-1 eu-west-1 eu-west-2 eu-west-3 sa-east-1 us-east-1 us-east-2 us-west-1 us-west-2",
    // if false, this API is skipped
    "Enabled": true,
    // if this API supports paging, this value will be the page size for each request.
    "PageSize": 18
}
