DescribeClusterSnapshots
Returns one or more snapshot objects, which contain metadata about your cluster snapshots. By default, this operation returns information about all snapshots of all clusters that are owned by you AWS customer account. No information is returned for snapshots owned by inactive AWS customer accounts.
If you specify both tag keys and tag values in the same request, Amazon Redshift returns
all snapshots that match any combination of the specified keys and values. For example,
if you have owner
and environment
for tag keys, and
admin
and test
for tag values, all snapshots that have any
combination of those values are returned. Only snapshots that you own are returned
in
the response; shared snapshots are not returned with the tag key and tag value request
parameters.
If both tag keys and values are omitted from the request, snapshots are returned regardless of whether they have tag keys or values associated with them.
Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
- ClusterExists
-
A value that indicates whether to return snapshots only for an existing cluster. You can perform table-level restore only by using a snapshot of an existing cluster, that is, a cluster that has not been deleted. Values for this parameter work as follows:
-
If
ClusterExists
is set totrue
,ClusterIdentifier
is required. -
If
ClusterExists
is set tofalse
andClusterIdentifier
isn't specified, all snapshots associated with deleted clusters (orphaned snapshots) are returned. -
If
ClusterExists
is set tofalse
andClusterIdentifier
is specified for a deleted cluster, snapshots associated with that cluster are returned. -
If
ClusterExists
is set tofalse
andClusterIdentifier
is specified for an existing cluster, no snapshots are returned.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
-
- ClusterIdentifier
-
The identifier of the cluster for which information about snapshots is requested.
Type: String
Required: No
- EndTime
-
A time value that requests only snapshots created at or before the specified time. The time value is specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.
Example:
2012-07-16T18:00:00Z
Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- Marker
-
An optional parameter that specifies the starting point to return a set of response records. When the results of a DescribeClusterSnapshots request exceed the value specified in
MaxRecords
, AWS returns a value in theMarker
field of the response. You can retrieve the next set of response records by providing the returned marker value in theMarker
parameter and retrying the request.Type: String
Required: No
- MaxRecords
-
The maximum number of response records to return in each call. If the number of remaining response records exceeds the specified
MaxRecords
value, a value is returned in amarker
field of the response. You can retrieve the next set of records by retrying the command with the returned marker value.Default:
100
Constraints: minimum 20, maximum 100.
Type: Integer
Required: No
- OwnerAccount
-
The AWS customer account used to create or copy the snapshot. Use this field to filter the results to snapshots owned by a particular account. To describe snapshots you own, either specify your AWS customer account, or do not specify the parameter.
Type: String
Required: No
- SnapshotIdentifier
-
The snapshot identifier of the snapshot about which to return information.
Type: String
Required: No
- SnapshotType
-
The type of snapshots for which you are requesting information. By default, snapshots of all types are returned.
Valid Values:
automated
|manual
Type: String
Required: No
- SortingEntities.SnapshotSortingEntity.N
-
Type: Array of SnapshotSortingEntity objects
Required: No
- StartTime
-
A value that requests only snapshots created at or after the specified time. The time value is specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.
Example:
2012-07-16T18:00:00Z
Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- TagKeys.TagKey.N
-
A tag key or keys for which you want to return all matching cluster snapshots that are associated with the specified key or keys. For example, suppose that you have snapshots that are tagged with keys called
owner
andenvironment
. If you specify both of these tag keys in the request, Amazon Redshift returns a response with the snapshots that have either or both of these tag keys associated with them.Type: Array of strings
Required: No
- TagValues.TagValue.N
-
A tag value or values for which you want to return all matching cluster snapshots that are associated with the specified tag value or values. For example, suppose that you have snapshots that are tagged with values called
admin
andtest
. If you specify both of these tag values in the request, Amazon Redshift returns a response with the snapshots that have either or both of these tag values associated with them.Type: Array of strings
Required: No
Response Elements
The following elements are returned by the service.
- Marker
-
A value that indicates the starting point for the next set of response records in a subsequent request. If a value is returned in a response, you can retrieve the next set of records by providing this returned marker value in the
Marker
parameter and retrying the command. If theMarker
field is empty, all response records have been retrieved for the request.Type: String
- Snapshots.Snapshot.N
-
A list of Snapshot instances.
Type: Array of Snapshot objects
Errors

ClusterIdentifier
parameter does not refer to an existing cluster.HTTP Status Code: 404
- ClusterSnapshotNotFound
-
The snapshot identifier does not refer to an existing cluster snapshot.
HTTP Status Code: 404
