Description

Returns information about all available Trusted Advisor checks, including the name, ID, category, description, and metadata. You must specify a language code.

The response contains a TrustedAdvisorCheckDescription object for each check. You must set the Amazon Web Services Region to us-east-1.

  • You must have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan to use the Amazon Web Services Support API.

  • If you call the Amazon Web Services Support API from an account that doesn't have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan, the SubscriptionRequiredException error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see Amazon Web Services Support.

  • The names and descriptions for Trusted Advisor checks are subject to change. We recommend that you specify the check ID in your code to uniquely identify a check.

To call the Trusted Advisor operations in the Amazon Web Services Support API, you must use the US East (N. Virginia) endpoint. Currently, the US West (Oregon) and Europe (Ireland) endpoints don't support the Trusted Advisor operations. For more information, see About the Amazon Web Services Support API in the Amazon Web Services Support User Guide.
