Request Syntax

response = client.describe_db_parameters(
    DBParameterGroupName='string',
    Source='string',
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [
                'string',
            ]
        },
    ],
    MaxRecords=123,
    Marker='string'
)

Parameters

• DBParameterGroupName (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The name of a specific DB parameter group to return details for.

  Constraints:

  • If supplied, must match the name of an existing DBParameterGroup.
• Source (string) --

  The parameter types to return.

  Default: All parameter types returned

  Valid Values: user | system | engine-default

• Filters (list) --

  This parameter isn't currently supported.

  • (dict) --

    A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as IDs. The filters supported by a describe operation are documented with the describe operation.

    Note

    Currently, wildcards are not supported in filters.

    The following actions can be filtered:

    • DescribeDBClusterBacktracks
    • DescribeDBClusterEndpoints
    • DescribeDBClusters
    • DescribeDBInstances
    • DescribePendingMaintenanceActions
    • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

    • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

      One or more filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.

      • (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 you can retrieve the remaining results.

  Default: 100

  Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

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

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  Contains the result of a successful invocation of the DescribeDBParameters action.

  • Parameters (list) --

    A list of Parameter values.

    • (dict) --

      This data type is used as a request parameter in the ModifyDBParameterGroup and ResetDBParameterGroup actions.

      This data type is used as a response element in the DescribeEngineDefaultParameters and DescribeDBParameters actions.

      • ParameterName (string) --

        Specifies the name of the parameter.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        Specifies the value of the parameter.

      • Description (string) --

        Provides a description of the parameter.

      • Source (string) --

        Indicates the source of the parameter value.

      • ApplyType (string) --

        Specifies the engine specific parameters type.

      • DataType (string) --

        Specifies the valid data type for the parameter.

      • AllowedValues (string) --

        Specifies the valid range of values for the parameter.

      • IsModifiable (boolean) --

        Indicates whether ( true ) or not ( false ) the parameter can be modified. Some parameters have security or operational implications that prevent them from being changed.

      • MinimumEngineVersion (string) --

        The earliest engine version to which the parameter can apply.

      • ApplyMethod (string) --

        Indicates when to apply parameter updates.

      • SupportedEngineModes (list) --

        • (string) --

  • 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 .

Exceptions

• RDS.Client.exceptions.DBParameterGroupNotFoundFault

Examples

This example lists information for up to the first 20 system parameters for the specified DB parameter group.

response = client.describe_db_parameters(
    DBParameterGroupName='mymysqlparametergroup',
    MaxRecords=20,
    Source='system',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:
