        - Now we can execute this command on command prompt as below
        awsx-cloudelements --vaultURL=vault.dummy.net --accountId=xxxxxxxxxx --zone=us-west-2

command input

--valutURL = URL location of vault - that stores credentials to call API --acountId = The AWS account id. --zone = AWS region

command output

{ ResourceCounts: [ { Count: 124, ResourceType: "AWS::S3::Bucket" }, { Count: 121, ResourceType: "AWS::Lambda::Function" }, { Count: 72, ResourceType: "AWS::CloudFormation::Stack" }, { Count: 50, ResourceType: "AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm" } ], TotalDiscoveredResources: 809 }

How to run

From main awsx command , it is called as follows: awsx getElementDetails --vaultURL=vault.dummy.net --accountId=xxxxxxxxxx --zone=us-west-2 If you build it locally , you can simply run it as standalone command as awsx-cloudelements --vaultURL=vault.dummy.net --accountId=xxxxxxxxxx --zone=us-west-2
