### root
| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| POST | / | Adds or overwrites one or more tags for the specified resource. Tags are metadata that you can assign to your automations, documents, managed nodes, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. For example, you could define a set of tags for your account's managed nodes that helps you track each node's owner and stack level. For example:    Key=Owner,Value=DbAdmin     Key=Owner,Value=SysAdmin     Key=Owner,Value=Dev     Key=Stack,Value=Production     Key=Stack,Value=Pre-Production     Key=Stack,Value=Test    Most resources can have a maximum of 50 tags. Automations can have a maximum of 5 tags. We recommend that you devise a set of tag keys that meets your needs for each resource type. Using a consistent set of tag keys makes it easier for you to manage your resources. You can search and filter the resources based on the tags you add. Tags don't have any semantic meaning to and are interpreted strictly as a string of characters. For more information about using tags with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, see Tag your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. |
| POST | / | Associates a related item to a Systems Manager OpsCenter OpsItem. For example, you can associate an Incident Manager incident or analysis with an OpsItem. Incident Manager and OpsCenter are capabilities of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. |
| POST | / | Attempts to cancel the command specified by the Command ID. There is no guarantee that the command will be terminated and the underlying process stopped. |
| POST | / | Stops a maintenance window execution that is already in progress and cancels any tasks in the window that haven't already starting running. Tasks already in progress will continue to completion. |
| POST | / | Generates an activation code and activation ID you can use to register your on-premises servers, edge devices, or virtual machine (VM) with Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. Registering these machines with Systems Manager makes it possible to manage them using Systems Manager capabilities. You use the activation code and ID when installing SSM Agent on machines in your hybrid environment. For more information about requirements for managing on-premises machines using Systems Manager, see Setting up Amazon Web Services Systems Manager for hybrid and multicloud environments in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.   Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, edge devices, and on-premises servers and VMs that are configured for Systems Manager are all called managed nodes. |
| POST | / | A State Manager association defines the state that you want to maintain on your managed nodes. For example, an association can specify that anti-virus software must be installed and running on your managed nodes, or that certain ports must be closed. For static targets, the association specifies a schedule for when the configuration is reapplied. For dynamic targets, such as an Amazon Web Services resource group or an Amazon Web Services autoscaling group, State Manager, a capability of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager applies the configuration when new managed nodes are added to the group. The association also specifies actions to take when applying the configuration. For example, an association for anti-virus software might run once a day. If the software isn't installed, then State Manager installs it. If the software is installed, but the service isn't running, then the association might instruct State Manager to start the service. |
| POST | / | Associates the specified Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) with the specified managed nodes or targets. When you associate a document with one or more managed nodes using IDs or tags, Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) running on the managed node processes the document and configures the node as specified. If you associate a document with a managed node that already has an associated document, the system returns the AssociationAlreadyExists exception. |
| POST | / | Creates a Amazon Web Services Systems Manager (SSM document). An SSM document defines the actions that Systems Manager performs on your managed nodes. For more information about SSM documents, including information about supported schemas, features, and syntax, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Documents in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. |
| POST | / | Creates a new maintenance window.  The value you specify for Duration determines the specific end time for the maintenance window based on the time it begins. No maintenance window tasks are permitted to start after the resulting endtime minus the number of hours you specify for Cutoff. For example, if the maintenance window starts at 3 PM, the duration is three hours, and the value you specify for Cutoff is one hour, no maintenance window tasks can start after 5 PM. |
| POST | / | Creates a new OpsItem. You must have permission in Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create a new OpsItem. For more information, see Set up OpsCenter in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. Operations engineers and IT professionals use Amazon Web Services Systems Manager OpsCenter to view, investigate, and remediate operational issues impacting the performance and health of their Amazon Web Services resources. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager OpsCenter in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. |
| POST | / | If you create a new application in Application Manager, Amazon Web Services Systems Manager calls this API operation to specify information about the new application, including the application type. |
| POST | / | Creates a patch baseline.  For information about valid key-value pairs in PatchFilters for each supported operating system type, see PatchFilter. |
| POST | / | A resource data sync helps you view data from multiple sources in a single location. Amazon Web Services Systems Manager offers two types of resource data sync: SyncToDestination and SyncFromSource. You can configure Systems Manager Inventory to use the SyncToDestination type to synchronize Inventory data from multiple Amazon Web Services Regions to a single Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. For more information, see Configuring resource data sync for Inventory in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. You can configure Systems Manager Explorer to use the SyncFromSource type to synchronize operational work items (OpsItems) and operational data (OpsData) from multiple Amazon Web Services Regions to a single Amazon S3 bucket. This type can synchronize OpsItems and OpsData from multiple Amazon Web Services accounts and Amazon Web Services Regions or EntireOrganization by using Organizations. For more information, see Setting up Systems Manager Explorer to display data from multiple accounts and Regions in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. A resource data sync is an asynchronous operation that returns immediately. After a successful initial sync is completed, the system continuously syncs data. To check the status of a sync, use the ListResourceDataSync.  By default, data isn't encrypted in Amazon S3. We strongly recommend that you enable encryption in Amazon S3 to ensure secure data storage. We also recommend that you secure access to the Amazon S3 bucket by creating a restrictive bucket policy. |
| POST | / | Deletes an activation. You aren't required to delete an activation. If you delete an activation, you can no longer use it to register additional managed nodes. Deleting an activation doesn't de-register managed nodes. You must manually de-register managed nodes. |
| POST | / | Disassociates the specified Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) from the specified managed node. If you created the association by using the Targets parameter, then you must delete the association by using the association ID. When you disassociate a document from a managed node, it doesn't change the configuration of the node. To change the configuration state of a managed node after you disassociate a document, you must create a new document with the desired configuration and associate it with the node. |
| POST | / | Deletes the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) and all managed node associations to the document. Before you delete the document, we recommend that you use DeleteAssociation to disassociate all managed nodes that are associated with the document. |
| POST | / | Delete a custom inventory type or the data associated with a custom Inventory type. Deleting a custom inventory type is also referred to as deleting a custom inventory schema. |
| POST | / | Deletes a maintenance window. |
| POST | / | Delete an OpsItem. You must have permission in Identity and Access Management (IAM) to delete an OpsItem.   Note the following important information about this operation.   Deleting an OpsItem is irreversible. You can't restore a deleted OpsItem.   This operation uses an eventual consistency model, which means the system can take a few minutes to complete this operation. If you delete an OpsItem and immediately call, for example, GetOpsItem, the deleted OpsItem might still appear in the response.    This operation is idempotent. The system doesn't throw an exception if you repeatedly call this operation for the same OpsItem. If the first call is successful, all additional calls return the same successful response as the first call.   This operation doesn't support cross-account calls. A delegated administrator or management account can't delete OpsItems in other accounts, even if OpsCenter has been set up for cross-account administration. For more information about cross-account administration, see Setting up OpsCenter to centrally manage OpsItems across accounts in the Systems Manager User Guide. |
| POST | / | Delete OpsMetadata related to an application. |
| POST | / | Delete a parameter from the system. After deleting a parameter, wait for at least 30 seconds to create a parameter with the same name. |
| POST | / | Delete a list of parameters. After deleting a parameter, wait for at least 30 seconds to create a parameter with the same name. |
| POST | / | Deletes a patch baseline. |
| POST | / | Deletes a resource data sync configuration. After the configuration is deleted, changes to data on managed nodes are no longer synced to or from the target. Deleting a sync configuration doesn't delete data. |
| POST | / | Deletes a Systems Manager resource policy. A resource policy helps you to define the IAM entity (for example, an Amazon Web Services account) that can manage your Systems Manager resources. The following resources support Systems Manager resource policies.    OpsItemGroup - The resource policy for OpsItemGroup enables Amazon Web Services accounts to view and interact with OpsCenter operational work items (OpsItems).    Parameter - The resource policy is used to share a parameter with other accounts using Resource Access Manager (RAM). For more information about cross-account sharing of parameters, see Working with shared pa
