AWS CLI command option for describe-replication-tasks

[sb-coder122]

Need help to display the serial number while using describe-replication-tasks filters --query"ReplicationTasks[*].[ReplicationTaskIdentifier]"

Hi! 👋

To list the task identifiers with aws dms describe-replication-tasks, you can use a JMESPath projection with --query so that each task’s identifier is shown.

Example — show just the replication task identifiers:

aws dms describe-replication-tasks \
  --query "ReplicationTasks[].ReplicationTaskIdentifier" \
  --output text

[uldyssian-sh]

This outputs a simple list like:

task1
task2
task3

Example — show with an index number (serial-like list):

aws dms describe-replication-tasks
--query "ReplicationTasks[].{ID:ReplicationTaskIdentifier}"
--output table

or for numbered text output:

aws dms describe-replication-tasks
--query "ReplicationTasks[].ReplicationTaskIdentifier"
--output text | nl -w2 -s'. '
