getting Cloudformation from an existing AWS Glue Crawler

votes

Is there a way to create/get/retrieve the cloudformation resource json/yaml from an existing AWS Glue Crawler? If so, how do I get it. If not, how can I create one from my existing Crawler?

EDIT:

Actually we are trying to move from the manually configured crawler to one, that is deployed via cloudformation so that it is easily maintainable. We have a few crawlers and need to migrate them. Thus, the question.

Why not re-create them with CloudFormation? What is the purpose of keeping manually created ones? - Yuriy Bondaruk
the manually created one, already exists and is working, we want to make sure that we do not create something different. - MozenRath

If you use the AWS CLI you can use the below command to retrieve the crawler information
