SystemsManagerParameter.* methods querying the Systems Manager Service parameters return some SystemsManagerParameter instances. Namely, getParameter returns an array of SystemsManagerParameter objects. The SystemsManagerParameter object describes an Amazon Systems Manager Service parameter.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
SystemsManagerParameter.arn | string | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the parameter |
SystemsManagerParameter.dataType | string | The data type of the parameter, such as text or aws:ec2:image. The default is text. |
SystemsManagerParameter.lastModifiedDate | number | Date the parameter was last changed or updated and the parameter version was created. |
SystemsManagerParameter.name | string | The friendly name of the parameter. |
SystemsManagerParameter.selector | string | Either the version number or the label used to retrieve the parameter value |
SystemsManagerParameter.sourceResult | string | The raw result or response from the source. |
SystemsManagerParameter.type | string | The type of parameter |
SystemsManagerParameter.value | string | The parameter value |
SystemsManagerParameter.version | string | The parameter version |

import exec from 'k6/execution';
import {
AWSConfig,
SystemsManagerClient,
} from 'https://jslib.k6.io/aws/0.14.0/ssm.js';
const awsConfig = new AWSConfig({
region: __ENV.AWS_REGION,
accessKeyId: __ENV.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: __ENV.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
sessionToken: __ENV.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN,
});
const systemsManager = new SystemsManagerClient(awsConfig);
const testParameterName = 'jslib-test-parameter';
const testParameterValue = 'jslib-test-value';
const testParameterSecretName = 'jslib-test-parameter-secret';
// this value was created with --type SecureString
const testParameterSecretValue = 'jslib-test-secret-value';
export default async function () {
// Currently the parameter needs to be created before hand
// Let's get its value
// getParameter returns a parameter object: e.g. {name: string, value: string...}
const parameter = await systemsManager.getParameter(testParameterName);
if (parameter.value !== testParameterValue) {
exec.test.abort('test parameter not found');
}
// Let's get the secret value with decryption
// destructure the parameter object to get to the values you want
const { value: encryptedParameterValue } = await systemsManager.getParameter(
testParameterSecretName,
true
);
if (encryptedParameterValue !== testParameterSecretValue) {
exec.test.abort('encrypted test parameter not found');
}
