# Monitoring DB cluster export tasks
<a name="export-cluster-data.Monitoring"></a>

You can monitor DB cluster exports using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the RDS API.

## Console
<a name="export-cluster-data.MonitorConsole"></a>

**To monitor DB cluster exports**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Exports in Amazon S3**.

   DB cluster exports are indicated in the **Source type** column. Export status is displayed in the **Status** column.

1. To view detailed information about a specific DB cluster export, choose the export task.

## AWS CLI
<a name="export-cluster-data.MonitorCLI"></a>

To monitor DB cluster export tasks using the AWS CLI, use the [ describe-export-tasks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-export-tasks.html) command.

The following example shows how to display current information about all of your DB cluster exports.

**Example**  

```
 1. aws rds describe-export-tasks
 2. 
 3. {

To display information about a specific export task, include the `--export-task-identifier` option with the `describe-export-tasks` command. To filter the output, include the `--Filters` option. For more options, see the [ describe-export-tasks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-export-tasks.html) command.

## RDS API
<a name="export-cluster-data.MonitorAPI"></a>

To display information about DB cluster exports using the Amazon RDS API, use the [DescribeExportTasks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeExportTasks.html) operation.

To track completion of the export workflow or to initiate another workflow, you can subscribe to Amazon Simple Notification Service topics. For more information on Amazon SNS, see [Working with Amazon RDS event notification](USER_Events.md).
