Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Relational Database Service DescribeEvents API operation.

-SourceType <SourceType>
-Duration <Int32>
-EndTime <DateTime>
-EventCategory <String[]>
-Filter <Filter[]>

Description

Returns events related to DB instances, DB clusters, DB parameter groups, DB security groups, DB snapshots, DB cluster snapshots, and RDS Proxies for the past 14 days. Events specific to a particular DB instance, DB cluster, DB parameter group, DB security group, DB snapshot, DB cluster snapshot group, or RDS Proxy can be obtained by providing the name as a parameter. For more information on working with events, see Monitoring Amazon RDS events in the Amazon RDS User Guide and Monitoring Amazon Aurora events in the Amazon Aurora User Guide. By default, RDS returns events that were generated in the past hour.

This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonRDSConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.RDS.AmazonRDSClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Duration <Int32>
The number of minutes to retrieve events for.Default: 60
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EndTime <DateTime>
The end of the time interval for which to retrieve events, specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.Example: 2009-07-08T18:00Z
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EventCategory <String[]>
A list of event categories that trigger notifications for a event notification subscription. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesEventCategories
-Filter <Filter[]>
This parameter isn't currently supported. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesFilters
-Marker <String>
An optional pagination token provided by a previous DescribeEvents request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
'Marker' is only returned by the cmdlet when '-Select *' is specified. In order to manually control output pagination, set '-Marker' to null for the first call then set the 'Marker' using the same property output from the previous call for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesNextToken
-MaxRecord <Int32>
The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that you can retrieve the remaining results.Default: 100Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.
Note: In AWSPowerShell and AWSPowerShell.NetCore this parameter is used to limit the total number of items returned by the cmdlet.
In AWS.Tools this parameter is simply passed to the service to specify how many items should be returned by each service call.
Pipe the output of this cmdlet into Select-Object -First to terminate retrieving data pages early and control the number of items returned.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesMaxItems, MaxRecords
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of Marker as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Events'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.RDS.Model.DescribeEventsResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.RDS.Model.DescribeEventsResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SourceIdentifier <String>
The identifier of the event source for which events are returned. If not specified, then all sources are included in the response.Constraints:
  • If SourceIdentifier is supplied, SourceType must also be provided.
  • If the source type is a DB instance, a DBInstanceIdentifier value must be supplied.
  • If the source type is a DB cluster, a DBClusterIdentifier value must be supplied.
  • If the source type is a DB parameter group, a DBParameterGroupName value must be supplied.
  • If the source type is a DB security group, a DBSecurityGroupName value must be supplied.
  • If the source type is a DB snapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier value must be supplied.
  • If the source type is a DB cluster snapshot, a DBClusterSnapshotIdentifier value must be supplied.
  • If the source type is an RDS Proxy, a DBProxyName value must be supplied.
  • Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage.

Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>

-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
