test-failover

Description

Represents the input of a TestFailover operation which test automatic failover on a specified node group (called shard in the console) in a replication group (called cluster in the console).

Note the following

• A customer can use this operation to test automatic failover on up to 5 shards (called node groups in the ElastiCache API and Amazon CLI) in any rolling 24-hour period.

• If calling this operation on shards in different clusters (called replication groups in the API and CLI), the calls can be made concurrently.

• If calling this operation multiple times on different shards in the same Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group, the first node replacement must complete before a subsequent call can be made.

• To determine whether the node replacement is complete you can check Events using the Amazon ElastiCache console, the Amazon CLI, or the ElastiCache API. Look for the following automatic failover related events, listed here in order of occurrance:

  • Replication group message: Test Failover API called for node group <node-group-id>

  • Cache cluster message: Failover from primary node <primary-node-id> to replica node <node-id> completed

  • Replication group message: Failover from primary node <primary-node-id> to replica node <node-id> completed

  • Cache cluster message: Recovering cache nodes <node-id>

  • Cache cluster message: Finished recovery for cache nodes <node-id>

For more information see:

• Viewing ElastiCache Events in the ElastiCache User Guide

• DescribeEvents in the ElastiCache API Reference

Synopsis

  test-failover
--replication-group-id <value>
--node-group-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--replication-group-id (string)

The name of the replication group (console: cluster) whose automatic failover is being tested by this operation.

--node-group-id (string)

The name of the node group (called shard in the console) in this replication group on which automatic failover is to be tested. You may test automatic failover on up to 5 node groups in any rolling 24-hour period.

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To test failover of a node group

The following test-failover example tests automatic failover on the specified node group (called a shard in the console) in a replication group (called a cluster in the console).

aws elasticache test-failover /
    --replication-group-id "mycluster" /
    --node-group-id "0001"
