I have an autoscaling group that, using the Autoscaling Command Line Tools doesn’t seem to show up unless I explicitly request it. Ie:
as-describe-auto-scaling-groups qa-MyAppName
Returns the auto scale group:
AUTO-SCALING-GROUP qa-MyAppName release_1_by_john_smith us-east-1a qa-MyAppName 5 10 5
...
However the as-describe-auto-scaling-groups command does not show this particular AS group at all:
as-describe-auto-scaling-groups
Does not return this auto scaling group at all. Other AS groups are shown though.
Why is this AS group not showing in the list of all AS groups?
How many SGs do you have? Unless told otherwise, the as-describe… commands will only return a subset of results (20 by default, IIRC). Perhaps this is number 21?
