Overview of events for Aurora

An RDS event indicates a change in the Aurora environment. For example, Amazon Aurora generates an event when a DB cluster is patched. Amazon Aurora delivers events to CloudWatch Events and EventBridge in near-real time.

Note

Amazon RDS emits events on a best effort basis. We recommend that you avoid writing programs that depend on the order or existence of notification events, because they might be out of sequence or missing.

Amazon RDS records events that relate to the following resources:

• DB clusters

  For a list of cluster events, see DB cluster events.

• DB instances

  For a list of DB instance events, see DB instance events.

• DB parameter groups

  For a list of DB parameter group events, see DB parameter group events.

• DB security groups

  For a list of DB security group events, see DB security group events.

• DB cluster snapshots

  For a list of DB cluster snapshot events, see DB cluster snapshot events.

• RDS Proxy events

• Blue/green deployment events

This information includes the following:

• The source name and source type of the event

• A message associated with the event

• Event notifications include tags from when the message was sent and may not reflect tags at the time when the event occurred
