name
The fully qualified name of the parameter that you want to add to the system.
You can't enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for a parameter, only the parameter name itself.
The fully qualified name includes the complete hierarchy of the parameter path and name. For parameters in a hierarchy, you must include a leading forward slash character (/) when you create or reference a parameter. For example: /Dev/DBServer/MySQL/db-string13
Naming Constraints:
Parameter names are case sensitive.
A parameter name must be unique within an Amazon Web Services Region
A parameter name can't be prefixed with "
aws
" or "ssm
" (case-insensitive).Parameter names can include only the following symbols and letters:
a-zA-Z0-9_.-
In addition, the slash character ( / ) is used to delineate hierarchies in parameter names. For example:/Dev/Production/East/Project-ABC/MyParameter
A parameter name can't include spaces.
Parameter hierarchies are limited to a maximum depth of fifteen levels.
For additional information about valid values for parameter names, see Creating Systems Manager parameters in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
The maximum length constraint of 2048 characters listed below includes 1037 characters reserved for internal use by Systems Manager. The maximum length for a parameter name that you create is 1011 characters. This includes the characters in the ARN that precede the name you specify, such as arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:111122223333:parameter/
