Request Syntax

response = client.describe_db_log_files(
    DBInstanceIdentifier='string',
    FilenameContains='string',
    FileLastWritten=123,
    FileSize=123,
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [
                'string',
            ]
        },
    ],
    MaxRecords=123,
    Marker='string'
)

Parameters

• DBInstanceIdentifier (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The customer-assigned name of the DB instance that contains the log files you want to list.

  Constraints:

  • Must match the identifier of an existing DBInstance.
• FilenameContains (string) -- Filters the available log files for log file names that contain the specified string.
• FileLastWritten (integer) -- Filters the available log files for files written since the specified date, in POSIX timestamp format with milliseconds.
• FileSize (integer) -- Filters the available log files for files larger than the specified size.
• 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 you can retrieve the remaining results.
• Marker (string) -- The pagination token provided in the previous request. If this parameter is specified the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to MaxRecords.
