DescribeDBClusters

Returns information about provisioned Aurora DB clusters. This API supports pagination.

For more information on Amazon Aurora, see What Is Amazon Aurora? in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Note

This action only applies to Aurora DB clusters.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

DBClusterIdentifier

The user-supplied DB cluster identifier. If this parameter is specified, information from only the specific DB cluster is returned. This parameter isn't case-sensitive.

Constraints:

  • If supplied, must match an existing DBClusterIdentifier.

Type: String

Required: No

Filters.Filter.N

A filter that specifies one or more DB clusters to describe.

Supported filters:

  • db-cluster-id - Accepts DB cluster identifiers and DB cluster Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). The results list will only include information about the DB clusters identified by these ARNs.

Type: Array of Filter objects

Required: No

IncludeShared

Optional Boolean parameter that specifies whether the output includes information about clusters shared from other AWS accounts.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

Marker

An optional pagination token provided by a previous DescribeDBClusters request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.

Type: String

Required: No

MaxRecords

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 the remaining results can be retrieved.

Default: 100

Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

Type: Integer

Required: No

Response Elements

The following elements are returned by the service.

DBClusters.DBCluster.N

Contains a list of DB clusters for the user.

Type: Array of DBCluster objects

Marker

A pagination token that can be used in a subsequent DescribeDBClusters request.

Type: String

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

DBClusterNotFoundFault

DBClusterIdentifier doesn't refer to an existing DB cluster.

HTTP Status Code: 404
