describe-export-tasks¶

Description¶

Returns information about a snapshot export to Amazon S3. This API operation supports pagination.

Synopsis¶

  describe-export-tasks
[--export-task-identifier <value>]
[--source-arn <value>]
[--filters <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--export-task-identifier (string)

The identifier of the snapshot export task to be described.

--source-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the snapshot exported to Amazon S3.

--filters (list)

Filters specify one or more snapshot exports to describe. The filters are specified as name-value pairs that define what to include in the output. Filter names and values are case-sensitive.

Supported filters include the following:

export-task-identifier - An identifier for the snapshot export task.

s3-bucket - The Amazon S3 bucket the snapshot is exported to.

source-arn - The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the snapshot exported to Amazon S3

status - The status of the export task. Must be lowercase. Valid statuses are the following:

canceled

canceling

complete

failed

in_progress

starting

(structure)

A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as IDs. The filters supported by a describe operation are documented with the describe operation.

Note

Currently, wildcards are not supported in filters.

The following actions can be filtered:

DescribeDBClusterBacktracks

DescribeDBClusterEndpoints

DescribeDBClusters

DescribeDBInstances

DescribePendingMaintenanceActions

Name -> (string)

The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

Values -> (list)

One or more filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.

(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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

(structure)

Contains the details of a snapshot export to Amazon S3.

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

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the snapshot exported to Amazon S3.

ExportOnly -> (list)

The data exported from the snapshot. Valid values are the following:

database - Export all the data from a specified database.

database.table table-name - Export a table of the snapshot. This format is valid only for RDS for MySQL, RDS for MariaDB, and Aurora MySQL.

database.schema schema-name - Export a database schema of the snapshot. This format is valid only for RDS for PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL.

database.schema.table table-name - Export a table of the database schema. This format is valid only for RDS for PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL.

(string)

SnapshotTime -> (timestamp)

TaskStartTime -> (timestamp)

The time that the snapshot export task started.

TaskEndTime -> (timestamp)
