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

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 .
