AWSRetriever

Lists all resources in a AWS account.

• Supports over 390 APIs from over 70 services, all regions

• Objects saved in JSON format

• Define and save profiles for specific service queries

• Runs a single operation

• CLI Support

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.

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...
    }
]

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
}
