SSM / Client / get_parameter_history

get_parameter_history#

SSM.Client.get_parameter_history(**kwargs)#

Retrieves the history of all changes to a parameter.

Warning

If you change the KMS key alias for the KMS key used to encrypt a parameter, then you must also update the key alias the parameter uses to reference KMS. Otherwise, GetParameterHistory retrieves whatever the original key alias was referencing.
