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

      • DescribeDBRecommendations

      • DescribeDBShardGroups

      • 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.

Return type:

dict

Returns:
