Usage

docdb_describe_events(SourceIdentifier, SourceType, StartTime, EndTime,
  Duration, EventCategories, Filters, MaxRecords, Marker)

Arguments

SourceIdentifier

The identifier of the event source for which events are returned. If not specified, then all sources are included in the response.

Constraints:

• If SourceIdentifier is provided, SourceType must also be provided.

• If the source type is DBInstance, a DBInstanceIdentifier must be provided.

• If the source type is DBSecurityGroup, a DBSecurityGroupName must be provided.

• If the source type is DBParameterGroup, a DBParameterGroupName must be provided.

• If the source type is DBSnapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier must be provided.

• Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

SourceType

The event source to retrieve events for. If no value is specified, all events are returned.

StartTime

The beginning of the time interval to retrieve events for, specified in ISO 8601 format.

Example: 2009-07-08T18:00Z

EndTime

The end of the time interval for which to retrieve events, specified in ISO 8601 format.

EventCategories

A list of event categories that trigger notifications for an event notification subscription.

Marker

An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.
