.. py:method:: ApplicationDiscoveryService.Client.describe_configurations(**kwargs)

  

  Retrieves attributes for a list of configuration item IDs.

   

  .. note::

    

    All of the supplied IDs must be for the same asset type from one of the following:

     

    
    * server
     
    * application
     
    * process
     
    * connection
    

     

    Output fields are specific to the asset type specified. For example, the output for a *server* configuration item includes a list of attributes about the server, such as host name, operating system, number of network cards, etc.

     

    For a complete list of outputs for each asset type, see `Using the DescribeConfigurations Action <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/latest/userguide/discovery-api-queries.html#DescribeConfigurations>`__ in the *Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide*.
