You can view information about a knowledge base, such as the settings and status.

To monitor your knowledge base using Amazon CloudWatch logs, see [Knowledge base logging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/knowledge-bases-logging.html).

Choose the tab for your preferred method, and then follow the steps:

#### [ API ]

To get information about a knowledge base, send a [GetKnowledgeBase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_GetKnowledgeBase.html) request with a [Agents for Amazon Bedrock build-time endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/bedrock.html#bra-bt), specifying the `knowledgeBaseId`.

To list information about your knowledge bases, send a [ListKnowledgeBases](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_ListKnowledgeBases.html) request with a [Agents for Amazon Bedrock build-time endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/bedrock.html#bra-bt). You can set the maximum number of results to return in a response. If there are more results than the number you set, the response returns a `nextToken`. You can use this value in the `nextToken` field of another [ListKnowledgeBases](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_ListKnowledgeBases.html) request to see the next batch of results.
