**To get details about a custom key store**
The following ``describe-custom-key-store`` example displays details for the specified custom key store. You can use this command to get details about a particular custom key store or all custom key stores in an AWS account and Region.
To identify a particular custom key store, this example uses the ``custom-key-store-name`` parameter with the key store name. If you prefer, you can use the ``custom-key-store-id`` parameter with the key store ID. To get all custom key stores in the account and Region, omit all parameters. ::
aws kms describe-custom-key-stores \
--custom-key-store-name ExampleKeyStore
The output of this command includes useful details about the custom key store including its connection state (``ConnectionState``). If the connection state is ``FAILED``, the output includes a ``ConnectionErrorCode`` field that describes the problem. ::
