Describe Events

redshift_describe_events R Documentation

Description

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

Usage

redshift_describe_events(SourceIdentifier, SourceType, StartTime,
  EndTime, Duration, MaxRecords, Marker)

Arguments

SourceIdentifier

The identifier of the event source for which events will be returned. If this parameter is not specified, then all sources are included in the response.

Constraints:

If SourceIdentifier is supplied, SourceType must also be provided.

  • Specify a cluster identifier when SourceType is cluster.

  • Specify a cluster security group name when SourceType is cluster-security-group.

  • Specify a cluster parameter group name when SourceType is cluster-parameter-group.

  • Specify a cluster snapshot identifier when SourceType is cluster-snapshot.

SourceType

The event source to retrieve events for. If no value is specified, all events are returned.

Constraints:

If SourceType is supplied, SourceIdentifier must also be provided.

  • Specify cluster when SourceIdentifier is a cluster identifier.

  • Specify cluster-security-group when SourceIdentifier is a cluster security group name.

  • Specify cluster-parameter-group when SourceIdentifier is a cluster parameter group name.

  • Specify cluster-snapshot when SourceIdentifier is a cluster snapshot identifier.

StartTime

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: ⁠2009-07-08T18:00Z⁠

EndTime

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: ⁠2009-07-08T18:00Z⁠

Duration

The number of minutes prior to the time of the request for which to retrieve events. For example, if the request is sent at 18:00 and you specify a duration of 60, then only events which have occurred after 17:00 will be returned.

Default: 60

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 a marker 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.

Marker

An optional parameter that specifies the starting point to return a set of response records. When the results of a describe_events request exceed the value specified in MaxRecords, Amazon Web Services returns a value in the Marker field of the response. You can retrieve the next set of response records by providing the returned marker value in the Marker parameter and retrying the request.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  Marker = "string",
  Events = list(
    list(
      SourceIdentifier = "string",
      SourceType = "cluster"|"cluster-parameter-group"|"cluster-security-group"|"cluster-snapshot"|"scheduled-action",
      Message = "string",

    )
  )
)
