Returns information about all provisioned DAX clusters if no cluster identifier is specified, or about a specific DAX cluster if a cluster identifier is supplied.
If the cluster is in the CREATING state, only cluster level information will be displayed until all of the nodes are successfully provisioned.
If the cluster is in the DELETING state, only cluster level information will be displayed.
If nodes are currently being added to the DAX cluster, node endpoint information and creation time for the additional nodes will not be displayed until they are completely provisioned. When the DAX cluster state is available , the cluster is ready for use.
If nodes are currently being removed from the DAX cluster, no endpoint information for the removed nodes is displayed.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
describe-clusters
is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate
argument.
When using --output text
and the --query
argument on a paginated response, the --query
argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: Clusters
describe-clusters
[--cluster-names <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]
--cluster-names
(list)
The names of the DAX clusters being described.
(string)
Syntax:
"string" "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
.
--starting-token
(string)
A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the
NextToken
from a previously truncated response.For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--page-size
(integer)
The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.
For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--max-items
(integer)
The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a
NextToken
is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide theNextToken
value in thestarting-token
argument of a subsequent command. Do not use theNextToken
response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--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.
To return information about all provisioned DAX clusters
The following describe-clusters
example displays details about all provisioned DAX clusters.

NextToken -> (string)
Provides an identifier to allow retrieval of paginated results.
Clusters -> (list)
The descriptions of your DAX clusters, in response to a DescribeClusters request.
(structure)
Contains all of the attributes of a specific DAX cluster.
ClusterName -> (string)
The name of the DAX cluster.
Description -> (string)
The description of the cluster.
ClusterArn -> (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the cluster.
TotalNodes -> (integer)
The total number of nodes in the cluster.
ActiveNodes -> (integer)
The number of nodes in the cluster that are active (i.e., capable of serving requests).
NodeType -> (string)
The node type for the nodes in the cluster. (All nodes in a DAX cluster are of the same type.)
Status -> (string)
The current status of the cluster.
ClusterDiscoveryEndpoint -> (structure)
The configuration endpoint for this DAX cluster, consisting of a DNS name and a port number. Client applications can specify this endpoint, rather than an individual node endpoint, and allow the DAX client software to intelligently route requests and responses to nodes in the DAX cluster.
Address -> (string)
The DNS hostname of the endpoint.
Port -> (integer)
The port number that applications should use to connect to the endpoint.
NodeIdsToRemove -> (list)
A list of nodes to be removed from the cluster.
(string)
Nodes -> (list)
A list of nodes that are currently in the cluster.
(structure)
Represents an individual node within a DAX cluster.
NodeId -> (string)
A system-generated identifier for the node.
Endpoint -> (structure)
The endpoint for the node, consisting of a DNS name and a port number. Client applications can connect directly to a node endpoint, if desired (as an alternative to allowing DAX client software to intelligently route requests and responses to nodes in the DAX cluster.
Address -> (string)
The DNS hostname of the endpoint.
Port -> (integer)
The port number that applications should use to connect to the endpoint.
NodeCreateTime -> (timestamp)
