Description¶

Describes Amazon RDS instances.

Required Permissions : To use this action, an IAM user must have a Show, Deploy, or Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information about user permissions, see Managing User Permissions .

This call accepts only one resource-identifying parameter.

[--cli-read-timeout <value>]
[--cli-connect-timeout <value>]

Options¶

--stack-id (string)

The ID of the stack with which the instances are registered. The operation returns descriptions of all registered Amazon RDS instances.

--rds-db-instance-arns (list)

An array containing the ARNs of the instances to be described.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

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 describe a stack's registered Amazon RDS instances

The following example describes the Amazon RDS instances registered with a specified stack.

aws opsworks --region us-east-1 describe-rds-db-instances --stack-id d72553d4-8727-448c-9b00-f024f0ba1b06

Output: The following is the output for a stack with one registered RDS instance.

{
  "RdsDbInstances": [
    {
      "Engine": "mysql",
      "StackId": "d72553d4-8727-448c-9b00-f024f0ba1b06",
      "MissingOnRds": false,
      "Region": "us-west-2",
      "RdsDbInstanceArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:db:clitestdb",
      "DbPassword": "*****FILTERED*****",
      "Address": "clitestdb.cdlqlk5uwd0k.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com",
      "DbUser": "cliuser",
      "DbInstanceIdentifier": "clitestdb"
    }
  ]
}

Output¶

RdsDbInstances -> (list)

An a array of RdsDbInstance objects that describe the instances.

(structure)

Describes an Amazon RDS instance.

RdsDbInstanceArn -> (string)

The instance's ARN.

DbInstanceIdentifier -> (string)

The DB instance identifier.

DbUser -> (string)

The master user name.

DbPassword -> (string)

AWS OpsWorks Stacks returns *****FILTERED***** instead of the actual value.

Region -> (string)

The instance's AWS region.

Address -> (string)

The instance's address.

Engine -> (string)

The instance's database engine.

StackId -> (string)

The ID of the stack with which the instance is registered.

MissingOnRds -> (boolean)

Set to true if AWS OpsWorks Stacks is unable to discover the Amazon RDS instance. AWS OpsWorks Stacks attempts to discover the instance only once. If this value is set to true , you must deregister the instance, and then register it again.
