create-event-subscription¶

Description¶

Creates an AWS DMS event notification subscription.

You can specify the type of source (SourceType ) you want to be notified of, provide a list of AWS DMS source IDs (SourceIds ) that triggers the events, and provide a list of event categories (EventCategories ) for events you want to be notified of. If you specify both the SourceType and SourceIds , such as SourceType = replication-instance and SourceIdentifier = my-replinstance , you will be notified of all the replication instance events for the specified source. If you specify a SourceType but don’t specify a SourceIdentifier , you receive notice of the events for that source type for all your AWS DMS sources. If you don’t specify either SourceType nor SourceIdentifier , you will be notified of events generated from all AWS DMS sources belonging to your customer account.

For more information about AWS DMS events, see Working with Events and Notifications in the AWS Database Migration Service User Guide.

Synopsis¶

--subscription-name <value>
--sns-topic-arn <value>
[--source-type <value>]
[--event-categories <value>]
[--source-ids <value>]
[--enabled | --no-enabled]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--subscription-name (string)

The name of the AWS DMS event notification subscription. This name must be less than 255 characters.

--sns-topic-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon SNS topic created for event notification. The ARN is created by Amazon SNS when you create a topic and subscribe to it.

--source-type (string)

The type of AWS DMS resource that generates the events. For example, if you want to be notified of events generated by a replication instance, you set this parameter to replication-instance . If this value isn’t specified, all events are returned.

Valid values: replication-instance | replication-task

--event-categories (list)

A list of event categories for a source type that you want to subscribe to. For more information, see Working with Events and Notifications in the AWS Database Migration Service User Guide.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--source-ids (list)

A list of identifiers for which AWS DMS provides notification events.

If you don’t specify a value, notifications are provided for all sources.

If you specify multiple values, they must be of the same type. For example, if you specify a database instance ID, then all of the other values must be database instance IDs.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--enabled | --no-enabled (boolean)

A Boolean value; set to true to activate the subscription, or set to false to create the subscription but not activate it.

--tags (list)

One or more tags to be assigned to the event subscription.

(structure)

A user-defined key-value pair that describes metadata added to an AWS DMS resource and that is used by operations such as the following:

AddTagsToResource

ListTagsForResource

RemoveTagsFromResource

Key -> (string)

A key is the required name of the tag. The string value can be 1-128 Unicode characters in length and can’t be prefixed with “aws:” or “dms:”. The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘ (Java regular expressions: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-]*)$”).

Value -> (string)

A value is the optional value of the tag. The string value can be 1-256 Unicode characters in length and can’t be prefixed with “aws:” or “dms:”. The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘ (Java regular expressions: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-]*)$”).

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To list event subscriptions

The following create-event-subscription example creates an event subscription to an Amazon SNS topic (my-sns-topic).

aws dms create-event-subscription \
    --subscription-name my-dms-events \
    --sns-topic-arn arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:my-sns-topic

Output:

{
    "EventSubscription": {
        "CustomerAwsId": "123456789012",
        "CustSubscriptionId": "my-dms-events",
        "SnsTopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:my-sns-topic",
        "Status": "creating",
        "SubscriptionCreationTime": "2020-05-21 21:58:38.598",
        "Enabled": true
    }
}

For more information, see Working with Events and Notifications in the AWS Database Migration Service User Guide.

Output¶

EventSubscription -> (structure)

The event subscription that was created.

CustomerAwsId -> (string)

The AWS customer account associated with the AWS DMS event notification subscription.

CustSubscriptionId -> (string)

The AWS DMS event notification subscription Id.

SnsTopicArn -> (string)

The topic ARN of the AWS DMS event notification subscription.

Status -> (string)

The status of the AWS DMS event notification subscription.

Constraints:

Can be one of the following: creating | modifying | deleting | active | no-permission | topic-not-exist

The status “no-permission” indicates that AWS DMS no longer has permission to post to the SNS topic. The status “topic-not-exist” indicates that the topic was deleted after the subscription was created.

SubscriptionCreationTime -> (string)

The time the AWS DMS event notification subscription was created.

SourceType -> (string)

The type of AWS DMS resource that generates events.

SourceIdsList -> (list)

A list of source Ids for the event subscription.

(string)

EventCategoriesList -> (list)

(string)

Enabled -> (boolean)

Boolean value that indicates if the event subscription is enabled.
