**To describe events**

The following ``describe-events`` example returns information about all events that are associated with the specified Chef Automate server. ::

    aws opsworks-cm describe-events --server-name 'automate-06'

The output for each event entry returned by the command resembles the following example::

    {
        "ServerEvents": [ 
            { 
                "CreatedAt": 2016-07-29T13:38:47.520Z,
                "LogUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/automate-06/automate-06-20160729133847520",
                "Message": "Updates successfully installed.",
                "ServerName": "automate-06"
            }
        ]
    }
