Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Relational Database Service DescribeEvents API operation.

Syntax

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

Description

Returns events related to DB instances, DB security groups, DB snapshots, and DB parameter groups for the past 14 days. Events specific to a particular DB instance, DB security group, database snapshot, or DB parameter group can be obtained by providing the name as a parameter. By default, the past hour of events are returned.

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

-Duration <Int32>
The number of minutes to retrieve events for.Default: 60
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EndTime <DateTime>
This property is deprecated. Setting this property results in non-UTC DateTimes not being marshalled correctly. Use EndTimeUtc instead. Setting either EndTime or EndTimeUtc results in both EndTime and EndTimeUtc being assigned, the latest assignment to either one of the two property is reflected in the value of both. EndTime is provided for backwards compatibility only and assigning a non-Utc DateTime to it results in the wrong timestamp being passed to the service. 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: 2009-07-08T18:00ZThis parameter is deprecated.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EventCategory <String[]>
A list of event categories that trigger notifications for a event notification subscription.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesEventCategories
-Filter <Filter[]>
This parameter isn't currently supported.
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.
In order to manually control output pagination, use '-Marker $null' for the first call and '-Marker $AWSHistory.LastServiceResponse.Marker' 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)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the SourceIdentifier parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^SourceIdentifier' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
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 DBInstance, then a DBInstanceIdentifier must be supplied.
  • If the source type is DBSecurityGroup, a DBSecurityGroupName must be supplied.
  • If the source type is DBParameterGroup, a DBParameterGroupName must be supplied.
  • If the source type is DBSnapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier must be supplied.
  • Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-SourceType <SourceType>
The event source to retrieve events for. If no value is specified, all events are returned.
Required?False
Position?2
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-StartTime <DateTime>
This property is deprecated. Setting this property results in non-UTC DateTimes not being marshalled correctly. Use StartTimeUtc instead. Setting either StartTime or StartTimeUtc results in both StartTime and StartTimeUtc being assigned, the latest assignment to either one of the two property is reflected in the value of both. StartTime is provided for backwards compatibility only and assigning a non-Utc DateTime to it results in the wrong timestamp being passed to the service. The beginning of the time interval to retrieve events for, specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.Example: 2009-07-08T18:00ZThis parameter is deprecated.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
-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. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.

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.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information.
