Monitoring Amazon Aurora events

An event indicates a change in an environment. This can be an Amazon environment, an SaaS partner service or application, or a custom application or service. For descriptions of the Aurora events, see Amazon RDS event categories and event messages for Aurora.

Overview of events for Aurora

An RDS event indicates a change in the Aurora environment. For example, Amazon Aurora generates an event when a DB cluster is patched. Amazon Aurora delivers events to EventBridge in near-real time.

Note

Amazon RDS emits events on a best effort basis. We recommend that you avoid writing programs that depend on the order or existence of notification events, because they might be out of sequence or missing.

Amazon RDS records events that relate to the following resources:

This information includes the following:

  • The date and time of the event

  • The source name and source type of the event

  • A message associated with the event

  • Event notifications include tags from when the message was sent and may not reflect tags at the time when the event occurred
