This example describes stale security group rules for ``vpc-11223344``. The response shows that sg-5fa68d3a in your account has a stale ingress SSH rule that references ``sg-279ab042`` in the peer VPC, and that ``sg-fe6fba9a`` in your account has a stale egress SSH rule that references ``sg-ef6fba8b`` in the peer VPC.

Command::

  aws ec2 describe-stale-security-groups --vpc-id vpc-11223344

Output::
