Event Notifications and Amazon SNS - Amazon MemoryDB for Redis
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).

Event Notifications and Amazon SNS

MemoryDB can publish messages using Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) when significant events happen on a cluster. This feature can be used to refresh the server-lists on client machines connected to individual node endpoints of a cluster.

Note

For more information on Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), including information on pricing and links to the Amazon SNS documentation, see the Amazon SNS product page.

Notifications are published to a specified Amazon SNS topic. The following are requirements for notifications:

  • Only one topic can be configured for MemoryDB notifications.

  • The Amazon account that owns the Amazon SNS topic must be the same account that owns the cluster on which notifications are enabled.

MemoryDB Events

The following MemoryDB events trigger Amazon SNS notifications:

Event Name Message Description

MemoryDB:AddNodeComplete

"Modified number of nodes from %d to %d"

A node has been added to the cluster and is ready for use.

MemoryDB:AddNodeFailed due to insufficient free IP addresses

"Failed to modify number of nodes from %d to %d due to insufficient free IP addresses"

A node could not be added because there are not enough available IP addresses.

MemoryDB:ClusterParametersChanged

"Updated parameter group for the cluster"

In case of create, also send "Updated to use a ParameterGroup %s"

One or more cluster parameters have been changed.

MemoryDB:ClusterProvisioningComplete

"Cluster created."

The provisioning of a cluster is completed, and the nodes in the cluster are ready to use.

MemoryDB:ClusterProvisioningFailed due to incompatible network state

"Failed to create cluster due to incompatible network state. %s"

An attempt was made to launch a new cluster into a nonexistent virtual private cloud (VPC).

MemoryDB:ClusterRestoreFailed

"Restore from %s failed for node %s. %s"

MemoryDB was unable to populate the cluster with Redis snapshot data. This could be due to a nonexistent snapshot file in Amazon S3, or incorrect permissions on that file. If you describe the cluster, the status will be restore-failed. You will need to delete the cluster and start over.

For more information, see Seeding a new cluster with an externally created snapshot.

MemoryDB:ClusterScalingComplete

"Succeeded applying modification to node type to %s."

Scale up for cluster completed successfully.

MemoryDB:ClusterScalingFailed

"Failed applying modification to node type to %s."

Scale-up operation on cluster failed.

MemoryDB:ClusterSecurityGroupModified

"Modified security group for cluster."

One of the following events has occurred:

  • The list of security groups authorized for the cluster has been modified.

  • One or more new EC2 security groups have been authorized on any of the security groups associated with the cluster.

  • One or more EC2 security groups have been revoked from any of the security groups associated with the cluster.

MemoryDB:NodeReplaceStarted

"Recovering node %s"

MemoryDB has detected that the host running a node is degraded or unreachable and has started replacing the node.

Note

The DNS entry for the replaced node is not changed.

In most instances, you do not need to refresh the server-list for your clients when this event occurs. However, some client libraries may stop using the node even after MemoryDB has replaced the node; in this case, the application should refresh the server-list when this event occurs.

MemoryDB:NodeReplaceComplete

"Finished recovery for node %s"

MemoryDB has detected that the host running a node is degraded or unreachable and has completed replacing the node.

Note

The DNS entry for the replaced node is not changed.

In most instances, you do not need to refresh the server-list for your clients when this event occurs. However, some client libraries may stop using the node even after MemoryDB has replaced the node; in this case, the application should refresh the server-list when this event occurs.

MemoryDB:CreateClusterComplete

"Cluster created"

The cluster was successfully created.

MemoryDB:CreateClusterFailed

"Failed to create cluster due to unsuccessful creation of its node(s)." and "Deleting all nodes belonging to this cluster."

The cluster was not created.

MemoryDB:DeleteClusterComplete

"Cluster deleted."

The deletion of a cluster and all associated nodes has completed.

MemoryDB:FailoverComplete

"Failover to replica node %s completed"

Failover over to a replica node was successful.

MemoryDB:NodeReplacementCanceled

"The replacement of node %s which was scheduled during the maintenance window from start time: %s, end time: %s has been canceled"

A node in your cluster that was scheduled for replacement is no longer scheduled for replacement.

MemoryDB:NodeReplacementRescheduled

"The replacement in maintenance window for node %s has been re-scheduled from previous start time: %s, previous end time: %s to new start time: %s, new end time: %s"

A node in your cluster previously scheduled for replacement has been rescheduled for replacement during the new window described in the notification.

For information on what actions you can take, see Replacing nodes.

MemoryDB:NodeReplacementScheduled

"The node %s is scheduled for replacement during the maintenance window from start time: %s to end time: %s"

A node in your cluster is scheduled for replacement during the window described in the notification.

For information on what actions you can take, see Replacing nodes.

MemoryDB:RemoveNodeComplete

"Removed node %s"

A node has been removed from the cluster.

MemoryDB:SnapshotComplete

"Snapshot %s succeeded for node %s"

A snapshot has completed successfully.

MemoryDB:SnapshotFailed

"Snapshot %s failed for node %s"

A snapshot has failed. See the cluster’s events for more a detailed cause.

If you describe the snapshot, see DescribeSnapshots, the status will be failed.
