describe_canaries(**kwargs)¶This operation returns a list of the canaries in your account, along with full details about each canary.
This operation supports resource-level authorization using an IAM policy and the Names parameter. If you specify the Names parameter, the operation is successful only if you have authorization to view all the canaries that you specify in your request. If you do not have permission to view any of the canaries, the request fails with a 403 response.
You are required to use the Names parameter if you are logged on to a user or role that has an IAM policy that restricts which canaries that you are allowed to view. For more information, see Limiting a user to viewing specific canaries.

DescribeCanaries operation. If you omit this parameter, the default of 100 is used.Use this parameter to return only canaries that match the names that you specify here. You can specify as many as five canary names.
If you specify this parameter, the operation is successful only if you have authorization to view all the canaries that you specify in your request. If you do not have permission to view any of the canaries, the request fails with a 403 response.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Canaries (list) --
Returns an array. Each item in the array contains the full information about one canary.
(dict) --
This structure contains all information about one canary in your account.
Id (string) --
The unique ID of this canary.
Name (string) --
The name of the canary.
Code (dict) --
This structure contains information about the canary's Lambda handler and where its code is stored by CloudWatch Synthetics.
SourceLocationArn (string) --
The ARN of the Lambda layer where Synthetics stores the canary script code.
Handler (string) --
The entry point to use for the source code when running the canary.
ExecutionRoleArn (string) --
The ARN of the IAM role used to run the canary. This role must include lambda.amazonaws.com as a principal in the trust policy.
Schedule (dict) --
A structure that contains information about how often the canary is to run, and when these runs are to stop.
Expression (string) --
A rate expression or a cron expression that defines how often the canary is to run.
For a rate expression, The syntax is rate(number unit) . unit can be minute , minutes , or hour .
For example, rate(1 minute) runs the canary once a minute, rate(10 minutes) runs it once every 10 minutes, and rate(1 hour) runs it once every hour. You can specify a frequency between rate(1 minute) and rate(1 hour) .
Specifying rate(0 minute) or rate(0 hour) is a special value that causes the canary to run only once when it is started.
Use cron(expression) to specify a cron expression. For information about the syntax for cron expressions, see Scheduling canary runs using cron.
DurationInSeconds (integer) --
How long, in seconds, for the canary to continue making regular runs after it was created. The runs are performed according to the schedule in the Expression value.
RunConfig (dict) --
A structure that contains information about a canary run.
TimeoutInSeconds (integer) --
How long the canary is allowed to run before it must stop.
MemoryInMB (integer) --
The maximum amount of memory available to the canary while it is running, in MB. This value must be a multiple of 64.
ActiveTracing (boolean) --
Displays whether this canary run used active X-Ray tracing.
SuccessRetentionPeriodInDays (integer) --
The number of days to retain data about successful runs of this canary.
FailureRetentionPeriodInDays (integer) --
The number of days to retain data about failed runs of this canary.
Status (dict) --
A structure that contains information about the canary's status.
State (string) --
The current state of the canary.
StateReason (string) --
If the canary has insufficient permissions to run, this field provides more details.
StateReasonCode (string) --
If the canary cannot run or has failed, this field displays the reason.
Timeline (dict) --
A structure that contains information about when the canary was created, modified, and most recently run.
Created (datetime) --
The date and time the canary was created.
LastModified (datetime) --
The date and time the canary was most recently modified.
LastStarted (datetime) --
The date and time that the canary's most recent run started.
LastStopped (datetime) --
The date and time that the canary's most recent run ended.
ArtifactS3Location (string) --
The location in Amazon S3 where Synthetics stores artifacts from the runs of this canary. Artifacts include the log file, screenshots, and HAR files.
EngineArn (string) --
The ARN of the Lambda function that is used as your canary's engine. For more information about Lambda ARN format, see Resources and Conditions for Lambda Actions.
RuntimeVersion (string) --
Specifies the runtime version to use for the canary. For more information about runtime versions, see Canary Runtime Versions.
