Listing DB parameter groups in Amazon Aurora

You can list the DB parameter groups you've created for your AWS account.

Note

Default parameter groups are automatically created from a default parameter template when you create a DB instance for a particular DB engine and version. These default parameter groups contain preferred parameter settings and can't be modified. When you create a custom parameter group, you can modify parameter settings.

Console

To list all DB parameter groups for an AWS account

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Parameter groups.

   The DB parameter groups appear in a list.

AWS CLI

To list all DB parameter groups for an AWS account, use the AWS CLI describe-db-parameter-groups command.

Example

The following example lists all available DB parameter groups for an AWS account.

aws rds describe-db-parameter-groups

The command returns a response like the following:

DBPARAMETERGROUP  default.mysql8.0     mysql8.0  Default parameter group for MySQL8.0
DBPARAMETERGROUP  mydbparametergroup   mysql8.0  My new parameter group

The following example describes the mydbparamgroup1 parameter group.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds describe-db-parameter-groups \
    --db-parameter-group-name mydbparamgroup1

For Windows:

aws rds describe-db-parameter-groups ^
    --db-parameter-group-name mydbparamgroup1

The command returns a response like the following:

DBPARAMETERGROUP  mydbparametergroup1  mysql8.0  My new parameter group

RDS API

To list all DB parameter groups for an AWS account, use the RDS API DescribeDBParameterGroups operation.
