View scheduled action details

To view details of upcoming scheduled actions for your Auto Scaling group, use one of the following methods:

Console
To view scheduled action details

  1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/, and choose Auto Scaling Groups from the navigation pane.

  2. Select your Auto Scaling group.

  3. On the Automatic scaling tab, in the Scheduled actions section, you can view upcoming scheduled actions.

Note that the console shows the values for Start time and End time in your local time with the UTC offset in effect at the specified date and time. The UTC offset is the difference, in hours and minutes, from local time to UTC. The value for Time zone shows your requested time zone, for example, America/New_York.

AWS CLI

Use the following describe-scheduled-actions command. 

aws autoscaling describe-scheduled-actions --auto-scaling-group-name my-asg

If successful, this command returns output similar to the following.
