describe-events¶

Description¶

Returns events related to clusters, security groups, and parameter groups. You can obtain events specific to a particular cluster, security group, or parameter group by providing the name as a parameter. By default, only the events occurring within the last hour are returned; however, you can retrieve up to 14 days’ worth of events if necessary.

Synopsis¶

  describe-events
[--source-name <value>]
[--source-type <value>]
[--start-time <value>]
[--end-time <value>]
[--duration <value>]
[--max-results <value>]
[--next-token <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--source-name (string)

The identifier of the event source for which events are returned. If not specified, all sources are included in the response.

--source-type (string)

The event source to retrieve events for. If no value is specified, all events are returned.

Possible values:

node

parameter-group

subnet-group

cluster

user

acl

--start-time (timestamp)

The beginning of the time interval to retrieve events for, specified in ISO 8601 format. Example: 2017-03-30T07:03:49.555Z

--end-time (timestamp)

The end of the time interval for which to retrieve events, specified in ISO 8601 format. Example: 2017-03-30T07:03:49.555Z

--duration (integer)

The number of minutes worth of events to retrieve.

--max-results (integer)

The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxResults value, a token is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.

--next-token (string)

An optional argument to pass in case the total number of records exceeds the value of MaxResults. If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged.

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To return a list of events

The following describe-events` returns a list of events.

aws memorydb describe-events

Output:

{
    "Events": [
        {
            "SourceName": "my-cluster",
            "SourceType": "cluster",
            "Message": "Increase replica count started for replication group my-cluster on 2022-07-22T14:09:01.440Z",
            "Date": "2022-07-22T07:09:01.443000-07:00"
        },
        {
            "SourceName": "my-user",
            "SourceType": "user",
            "Message": "Create user my-user operation completed.",
            "Date": "2022-07-22T07:00:02.975000-07:00"
        }
    ]
}

Output¶

NextToken -> (string)

An optional argument to pass in case the total number of records exceeds the value of MaxResults. If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged.

Events -> (list)

A list of events. Each element in the list contains detailed information about one event.

(structure)

Represents a single occurrence of something interesting within the system. Some examples of events are creating a cluster or adding or removing a node.

SourceName -> (string)

The name for the source of the event. For example, if the event occurred at the cluster level, the identifier would be the name of the cluster.

SourceType -> (string)

Specifies the origin of this event - a cluster, a parameter group, a security group, etc.

Message -> (string)

The text of the event.

Date -> (timestamp)

The date and time when the event occurred.
