runbooks inventory collect --help

Configuration

🎯 Choose Your Setup Path

Use Case	AWS Accounts	Profile Setup	Best For
🚀 Single-Account	1 AWS account	1 profile	Development, testing, small deployments
🏢 Multi-Account	AWS Organizations	3 profiles	Enterprise, production, Landing Zones

💡 Quick Decision:

• Have 1 AWS account? → Use Path 1 (Single-Account Setup - 2 minutes)
• Have AWS Organizations with multiple accounts? → Use Path 2 (Multi-Account Setup - 5 minutes)

---

Path 1: Single-Account Setup (Quickstart - 2 minutes)

For developers, testing, or single AWS account operations:

# Set your AWS profile (ONE profile only)
export AWS_PROFILE="my-account-profile"

# Verify access
aws sts get-caller-identity --profile $AWS_PROFILE

# Expected output:
# {
#   "UserId": "AIDAI...",
#   "Account": "123456789012",
#   "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/yourname"
# }

Usage Example - Single Account:

# Discover EC2 instances in your account
runbooks inventory collect \
  --profile $AWS_PROFILE \
  --regions ap-southeast-2

# Analyze costs (single account)
runbooks finops analyze-ec2 \
  --profile $AWS_PROFILE \
  --output data/cost-analysis.json

---

Path 2: Multi-Account Setup (Enterprise - 5 minutes)

For organizations with AWS Organizations and multiple accounts:

# Set up 3 specialized profiles for different AWS APIs
export AWS_BILLING_PROFILE="your-billing-readonly-profile"
export AWS_MANAGEMENT_PROFILE="your-management-readonly-profile"
export AWS_OPERATIONS_PROFILE="your-operations-readonly-profile"

# Why 3 profiles?
# - BILLING: Cost Explorer API requires billing account access
# - MANAGEMENT: AWS Organizations API requires management account access
# - OPERATIONS: Resource discovery across member accounts

# Profile capability matrix (ACTUAL tested results):
# - BILLING: Cost Explorer ✅, Organizations ✅, Multi-account discovery ✅
# - MANAGEMENT: Organizations ✅, Cost Explorer ✅, Account management ✅
# - OPERATIONS: Single-account resources ✅, Limited multi-account ⚠️

Usage Example - Multi-Account:

# Organization-wide resource discovery with cost data
runbooks finops analyze-ec2 \
  --input data/resources.xlsx \
  --billing-profile $AWS_BILLING_PROFILE \
  --management-profile $AWS_MANAGEMENT_PROFILE \
  --operational-profile $AWS_OPERATIONS_PROFILE \
  --enable-cost \
  --include-12month-cost

# Discover resources across all organization accounts
runbooks inventory collect \
  --all-accounts \
  --management-profile $AWS_MANAGEMENT_PROFILE \
  --regions ap-southeast-2,us-east-1

🎨 CLI Parameter Flexibility (v1.1.10+)

Enhanced UX: All commands now support flexible format specification with short flag support

Triple Alias Pattern

Choose your preferred parameter style - all forms work identically:

Style	Example	Use Case
Short ✨	-f json	Interactive CLI (save keystrokes)
Standard	--format json	Scripts & automation
Legacy	--export-format json	Backward compatibility

Examples - All Three Forms Work

Organization Visualization:

# All three commands produce identical output
runbooks inventory draw-org -f graphviz --profile $MANAGEMENT_PROFILE
runbooks inventory draw-org --format graphviz --profile $MANAGEMENT_PROFILE
runbooks inventory draw-org --export-format graphviz --profile $MANAGEMENT_PROFILE

Cost Analysis Export:

# Choose your preferred style
runbooks finops analyze -f csv --profile $BILLING_PROFILE
runbooks finops analyze --format csv --profile $BILLING_PROFILE
runbooks finops analyze --export-format csv --profile $BILLING_PROFILE

Account Inventory:

# Short form for interactive use (NEW in v1.1.10)
runbooks inventory list-org-accounts -f json --output accounts.json

# Standard form for scripts
runbooks inventory list-org-accounts --format csv --output accounts.csv

# Legacy form (fully supported)
runbooks inventory list-org-accounts --export-format markdown --output accounts.md

🔧 Troubleshooting

Configuration Issues

Problem: "I set up 3 profiles but I only have 1 AWS account"

Solution: Single-account users only need 1 profile:

# ✅ CORRECT (Single Account):
export AWS_PROFILE="my-account-profile"
runbooks inventory collect --profile $AWS_PROFILE

# ❌ INCORRECT (don't do this for single account):
export CENTRALISED_OPS_PROFILE="my-account-profile"
export MANAGEMENT_PROFILE="my-account-profile"
export BILLING_PROFILE="my-account-profile"

When to use which setup:

• 1 Profile (AWS_PROFILE): You have a single AWS account for development/testing
• 3 Profiles (MANAGEMENT + BILLING + OPERATIONS): You have AWS Organizations with multiple member accounts

See Configuration section above for detailed setup instructions.

Problem: "Command fails with 'profile not found'"

Solution: Verify your AWS credentials are configured:

# Check if profile exists
aws configure list-profiles

# Verify profile access
aws sts get-caller-identity --profile YOUR_PROFILE_NAME

# Expected output should show Account ID and User ARN

If profile doesn't exist, configure it:

aws configure --profile YOUR_PROFILE_NAME
