    StartTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    EndTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    Duration=123,
    EventCategories=[
        'string',

    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [

    MaxRecords=123,
    Marker='string'
)

Parameters

• SourceIdentifier (string) -- The identifier of an event source.
• SourceType (string) --

  The type of DMS resource that generates events.

  Valid values: replication-instance | replication-task

• StartTime (datetime) -- The start time for the events to be listed.
• EndTime (datetime) -- The end time for the events to be listed.
• Duration (integer) -- The duration of the events to be listed.
• EventCategories (list) --

  A list of event categories for the source type that you've chosen.

  • (string) --
• Filters (list) --

  Filters applied to events. The only valid filter is replication-instance-id .

  • (dict) --

    Identifies the name and value of a filter object. This filter is used to limit the number and type of DMS objects that are returned for a particular Describe* call or similar operation. Filters are used as an optional parameter for certain API operations.

    • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the filter as specified for a Describe* or similar operation.

    • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

      The filter value, which can specify one or more values used to narrow the returned results.

      • (string) --
• MaxRecords (integer) --

  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 the remaining results can be retrieved.

  Default: 100

  Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

• Marker (string) -- An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords .
