describe-db-clusters¶

Description¶

Returns information about provisioned DB clusters, and supports pagination.

Note

This operation can also return information for Amazon RDS clusters and Amazon DocDB clusters.

Synopsis¶

  describe-db-clusters
[--db-cluster-identifier <value>]
[--filters <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--db-cluster-identifier (string)

The user-supplied DB cluster identifier. If this parameter is specified, information from only the specific DB cluster is returned. This parameter isn’t case-sensitive.

Constraints:

If supplied, must match an existing DBClusterIdentifier.

--filters (list)

A filter that specifies one or more DB clusters to describe.

Supported filters:

db-cluster-id - Accepts DB cluster identifiers and DB cluster Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). The results list will only include information about the DB clusters identified by these ARNs.

engine - Accepts an engine name (such as neptune ), and restricts the results list to DB clusters created by that engine.

For example, to invoke this API from the AWS CLI and filter so that only Neptune DB clusters are returned, you could use the following command:

(structure)

This type is not currently supported.

Name -> (string)

This parameter is not currently supported.

Values -> (list)

This parameter is not currently supported.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Values": ["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 the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken 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.

Output¶

Marker -> (string)

A pagination token that can be used in a subsequent DescribeDBClusters request.

DBClusters -> (list)

Contains a list of DB clusters for the user.

(structure)

Contains the details of an Amazon Neptune DB cluster.

This data type is used as a response element in the DescribeDBClusters action.

AllocatedStorage -> (integer)

AllocatedStorage always returns 1, because Neptune DB cluster storage size is not fixed, but instead automatically adjusts as needed.

AvailabilityZones -> (list)

Provides the list of EC2 Availability Zones that instances in the DB cluster can be created in.

(string)

BackupRetentionPeriod -> (integer)

Specifies the number of days for which automatic DB snapshots are retained.

CharacterSetName -> (string)

(Not supported by Neptune)

DatabaseName -> (string)

Contains the name of the initial database of this DB cluster that was provided at create time, if one was specified when the DB cluster was created. This same name is returned for the life of the DB cluster.

DBClusterIdentifier -> (string)

Contains a user-supplied DB cluster identifier. This identifier is the unique key that identifies a DB cluster.

DBClusterParameterGroup -> (string)

Specifies the name of the DB cluster parameter group for the DB cluster.

DBSubnetGroup -> (string)

Specifies information on the subnet group associated with the DB cluster, including the name, description, and subnets in the subnet group.

Status -> (string)

Specifies the current state of this DB cluster.

PercentProgress -> (string)

Specifies the progress of the operation as a percentage.

EarliestRestorableTime -> (timestamp)

Specifies the earliest time to which a database can be restored with point-in-time restore.

Endpoint -> (string)

Specifies the connection endpoint for the primary instance of the DB cluster.

ReaderEndpoint -> (string)

The reader endpoint for the DB cluster. The reader endpoint for a DB cluster load-balances connections across the Read Replicas that are available in a DB cluster. As clients request new connections to the reader endpoint, Neptune distributes the connection requests among the Read Replicas in the DB cluster. This functionality can help balance your read workload across multiple Read Replicas in your DB cluster.

If a failover occurs, and the Read Replica that you are connected to is promoted to be the primary instance, your connection is dropped. To continue sending your read workload to other Read Replicas in the cluster, you can then reconnect to the reader endpoint.

MultiAZ -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the DB cluster has instances in multiple Availability Zones.

Engine -> (string)

Provides the name of the database engine to be used for this DB cluster.

EngineVersion -> (string)

Indicates the database engine version.

LatestRestorableTime -> (timestamp)

Specifies the latest time to which a database can be restored with point-in-time restore.

Port -> (integer)

Specifies the port that the database engine is listening on.

MasterUsername -> (string)

Contains the master username for the DB cluster.

DBClusterOptionGroupMemberships -> (list)

(Not supported by Neptune)

(structure)

Contains status information for a DB cluster option group.

DBClusterOptionGroupName -> (string)

Specifies the name of the DB cluster option group.

Status -> (string)

Specifies the status of the DB cluster option group.

PreferredBackupWindow -> (string)

PromotionTier -> (integer)

A value that specifies the order in which a Read Replica is promoted to the primary instance after a failure of the existing primary instance.

VpcSecurityGroups -> (list)

Provides a list of VPC security groups that the DB cluster belongs to.

(structure)

This data type is used as a response element for queries on VPC security group membership.
