Returns a list of parameter group descriptions. If a parameter group name is specified, the list contains only the descriptions for that group.

[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--parameter-group-name
(string)
The name of a specific parameter group to return details for.
--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.
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 parameter groups
The following describe-parameter-groups` returns a list of parameter groups.
aws memorydb describe-parameter-groups
Output:
{
"ParameterGroups": [
{
"Name": "default.memorydb-redis6",
"Family": "memorydb_redis6",
"Description": "Default parameter group for memorydb_redis6",
"ARN": "arn:aws:memorydb:us-east-1:491658xxxxxx:parametergroup/default.memorydb-redis6"
}
]
}
For more information, see Configuring engine parameters using parameter groups in the MemoryDB User Guide.
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.
ParameterGroups -> (list)
A list of parameter groups. Each element in the list contains detailed information about one parameter group.
(structure)
Represents the output of a CreateParameterGroup operation. A parameter group represents a combination of specific values for the parameters that are passed to the engine software during startup.
Name -> (string)
The name of the parameter group
Family -> (string)
The name of the parameter group family that this parameter group is compatible with.
Description -> (string)
A description of the parameter group
ARN -> (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the parameter group
