Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Viewing MemoryDB events

MemoryDB logs events that relate to your clusters, security groups, and parameter groups. This information includes the date and time of the event, the source name and source type of the event, and a description of the event. You can easily retrieve events from the log using the MemoryDB console, the Amazon CLI describe-events command, or the MemoryDB API action DescribeEvents.

The following procedures show you how to view all MemoryDB events for the past 24 hours (1440 minutes).

Viewing MemoryDB events (Console)

The following procedure displays events using the MemoryDB console.

To view events using the MemoryDB console

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the MemoryDB for Redis console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/memorydb/.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Events.

    The Events screen appears listing all available events. Each row of the list represents one event and displays the event source, the event type (such as cluster, parameter-group, acl, security-group or subnet group), the GMT time of the event, and the description of the event.

    Using the Filter you can specify whether you want to see all events, or just events of a specific type in the event list.

Viewing MemoryDB events (Amazon CLI)

To generate a list of MemoryDB events using the Amazon CLI, use the command describe-events. You can use optional parameters to control the type of events listed, the time frame of the events listed, the maximum number of events to list, and more.

The following code lists up to 40 cluster events.

aws memorydb describe-events --source-type cluster --max-results 40

The following code lists all events for the past 24 hours (1440 minutes).

aws memorydb describe-events --duration 1440

The output from the describe-events command looks something like this.

{
    "Events": [        
        {
            "Date": "2021-03-29T22:17:37.781Z", 
            "Message": "Added node 0001 in Availability Zone us-east-1a", 
            "SourceName": "memorydb01", 
            "SourceType": "cluster"
        }, 
        {
            "Date": "2021-03-29T22:17:37.769Z", 
            "Message": "cluster created", 
            "SourceName": "memorydb01", 
            "SourceType": "cluster"
        }
    ]
}

For more information, such as available parameters and permitted parameter values, see describe-events.

Viewing MemoryDB events (MemoryDB API)

To generate a list of MemoryDB events using the MemoryDB API, use the DescribeEvents action. You can use optional parameters to control the type of events listed, the time frame of the events listed, the maximum number of events to list, and more.

The following code lists the 40 most recent -cluster events.

https://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
   ?Action=DescribeEvents
   &MaxResults=40
   &SignatureVersion=4
   &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
   &SourceType=cluster
   &Timestamp=20210802T192317Z
   &Version=2021-01-01
   &X-Amz-Credential=<credential>

The following code lists the cluster events for the past 24 hours (1440 minutes).

https://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
   ?Action=DescribeEvents
   &Duration=1440
   &SignatureVersion=4
   &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
   &SourceType=cluster
   &Timestamp=20210802T192317Z
   &Version=2021-01-01
   &X-Amz-Credential=<credential>

The above actions should produce output similar to the following.

<DescribeEventsResponse xmlns="http://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/doc/2021-01-01/"> 
    <DescribeEventsResult> 
        <Events> 
            <Event> 
                <Message>cluster created</Message> 
                <SourceType>cluster</SourceType> 
                <Date>2021-08-02T18:22:18.202Z</Date> 
                <SourceName>my-memorydb-primary</SourceName> 
            </Event> 
               
 (...output omitted...)
          
        </Events> 
    </DescribeEventsResult> 
    <ResponseMetadata> 
        <RequestId>e21c81b4-b9cd-11e3-8a16-7978bb24ffdf</RequestId> 
    </ResponseMetadata> 
</DescribeEventsResponse>
