Viewing Neptune events

You can view the following information for each Neptune event:

  • Resource name

  • Resource type

  • Event category

  • Time of the event

  • A summary message describing the event

You can access events in the following parts of the Amazon Management Console:

  • The Events page in the Neptune console navigation pane, which shows events from the past 24 hours.

  • The Recent events table in the Logs & events tab on a DB cluster or DB instance detail page, which can show events for up to the past 14 days.

You can also retrieve events by using the describe-events Amazon CLI command or the DescribeEvents API operation. With the Amazon CLI or API, you can retrieve events for up to the past 14 days.

Viewing events (Amazon CLI)

To view all Neptune events generated in the past hour, run describe-events with no parameters:

To view events for a specific DB cluster within a time range, use the --source-identifier, --source-type, --start-time, and --end-time parameters:

aws neptune describe-events \
    --source-identifier my-cluster \
    --source-type db-cluster \
    --start-time 2026-04-01T00:00Z \
    --end-time 2026-04-01T23:59Z
