how to get details of security group

Question

Hi,
we would like to know  is  there any way to find out  if the security group is in use or not or in short to which resource this security group is associated.we did tried to find out for example using aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters Name=group-id,Values= but this does not help us much.

Thanks
Dilip

Answer

Hello Dilip,
This will definitely show you all the resources your security group is associated with
`aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters Name=group-id,Values= --region  --output json --query 'NetworkInterfaces'`
