describe_db_instances

RDS.Client.describe_db_instances(**kwargs)

Describes provisioned RDS instances. This API supports pagination.

Note

Request Syntax

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

Parameters:

• DBInstanceIdentifier (string) –

  The user-supplied instance identifier or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DB instance. If this parameter is specified, information from only the specific DB instance is returned. This parameter isn’t case-sensitive.

  Constraints:

  • If supplied, must match the identifier of an existing DB instance.

• Filters (list) –

  A filter that specifies one or more DB instances to describe.

  Supported Filters:

  • db-cluster-id - Accepts DB cluster identifiers and DB cluster Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). The results list only includes information about the DB instances associated with the DB clusters identified by these ARNs.

  • db-instance-id - Accepts DB instance identifiers and DB instance Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). The results list only includes information about the DB instances identified by these ARNs.

  • dbi-resource-id - Accepts DB instance resource identifiers. The results list only includes information about the DB instances identified by these DB instance resource identifiers.

  • domain - Accepts Active Directory directory IDs. The results list only includes information about the DB instances associated with these domains.

  • engine - Accepts engine names. The results list only includes information about the DB instances for these engines.

  • (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 that you can retrieve the remaining results.

  Default: 100

  Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

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

Return type:

dict

        The network type of the DB instance.

        The network type is determined by the DBSubnetGroup specified for the DB instance. A DBSubnetGroup can support only the IPv4 protocol or the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocols ( DUAL).

        For more information, see Working with a DB instance in a VPC in the Amazon RDS User Guide and Working with a DB instance in a VPC in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

        Valid Values: IPV4 | DUAL

      • ActivityStreamPolicyStatus (string) –

        The status of the policy state of the activity stream.

      • StorageThroughput (integer) –

        The storage throughput for the DB instance.

        This setting applies only to the gp3 storage type.

      • DBSystemId (string) –

        The Oracle system ID (Oracle SID) for a container database (CDB). The Oracle SID is also the name of the CDB. This setting is only valid for RDS Custom DB instances.

      • MasterUserSecret (dict) –

        The secret managed by RDS in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager for the master user password.

        For more information, see Password management with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

        • SecretArn (string) –

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret.

        • SecretStatus (string) –

          The status of the secret.

          The possible status values include the following:

          • creating - The secret is being created.

          • active - The secret is available for normal use and rotation.

          • rotating - The secret is being rotated.

          • impaired - The secret can be used to access database credentials, but it can’t be rotated. A secret might have this status if, for example, permissions are changed so that RDS can no longer access either the secret or the KMS key for the secret. When a secret has this status, you can correct the condition that caused the status. Alternatively, modify the DB instance to turn off automatic management of database credentials, and then modify the DB instance again to turn on automatic management of database credentials.

        • KmsKeyId (string) –

          The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier that is used to encrypt the secret.

      • CertificateDetails (dict) –

        The details of the DB instance’s server certificate.

        • CAIdentifier (string) –

          The CA identifier of the CA certificate used for the DB instance’s server certificate.

        • ValidTill (datetime) –

          The expiration date of the DB instance’s server certificate.

      • ReadReplicaSourceDBClusterIdentifier (string) –

        The identifier of the source DB cluster if this DB instance is a read replica.

      • PercentProgress (string) –

        The progress of the storage optimization operation as a percentage.

      • DedicatedLogVolume (boolean) –

        Indicates whether the DB instance has a dedicated log volume (DLV) enabled.

      • IsStorageConfigUpgradeAvailable (boolean) –

        Indicates whether an upgrade is recommended for the storage file system configuration on the DB instance. To migrate to the preferred configuration, you can either create a blue/green deployment, or create a read replica from the DB instance. For more information, see Upgrading the storage file system for a DB instance.

      • MultiTenant (boolean) –

        Specifies whether the DB instance is in the multi-tenant configuration (TRUE) or the single-tenant configuration (FALSE).

      • EngineLifecycleSupport (string) –

        The life cycle type for the DB instance.

        For more information, see CreateDBInstance.

Exceptions

• RDS.Client.exceptions.DBInstanceNotFoundFault
