Parameters

• DBParameterGroupName (string) --

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

  • If supplied, must match the name of an existing DBClusterParameterGroup.
• 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.

    The following actions can be filtered:

    • DescribeDBClusterBacktracks
    • DescribeDBClusterEndpoints

  Default: 100

  Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

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