Describe Events

rds_describe_events

R Documentation

Description¶

Returns events related to DB instances, DB clusters, DB parameter groups, DB security groups, DB snapshots, DB cluster snapshots, and RDS Proxies for the past 14 days. Events specific to a particular DB instance, DB cluster, DB parameter group, DB security group, DB snapshot, DB cluster snapshot group, or RDS Proxy can be obtained by providing the name as a parameter.

For more information on working with events, see Monitoring Amazon RDS events in the Amazon RDS User Guide and Monitoring Amazon Aurora events in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

By default, RDS returns events that were generated in the past hour.

Usage¶

rds_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 supplied, SourceType must also be provided.
If the source type is a DB instance, a DBInstanceIdentifier value must be supplied.
If the source type is a DB cluster, a DBClusterIdentifier value must be supplied.
If the source type is a DB parameter group, a DBParameterGroupName value must be supplied.
If the source type is a DB security group, a DBSecurityGroupName value must be supplied.
If the source type is a DB snapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier value must be supplied.
If the source type is a DB cluster snapshot, a DBClusterSnapshotIdentifier value must be supplied.
If the source type is an RDS Proxy, a DBProxyName value must be supplied.
Can't 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. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.

Example: 2009-07-08T18:00Z

EndTime

The end of the time interval for which to retrieve events, specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.

Example: 2009-07-08T18:00Z

Duration

The number of minutes to retrieve events for.

Default: 60

EventCategories

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

Filters

This parameter isn't currently supported.

MaxRecords

The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that you can retrieve the remaining results.

Default: 100

Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

Marker

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

Value¶

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  Marker = "string",
  Events = list(
    list(
      SourceIdentifier = "string",

      Message = "string",
      EventCategories = list(
        "string"
      ),
