            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [
                'string',

Parameters
  • DBParameterGroupName (string) --

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

    Constraints:

  • 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

    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 .
