Stopping a database activity stream

Focus mode
Stopping a database activity stream - Amazon Relational Database Service

You can stop an activity stream using the console or AWS CLI.

If you delete your Amazon RDS database instance, the activity stream is stopped and the underlying Amazon Kinesis stream is deleted automatically.

To turn off an activity stream
  1. Open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Databases.

  3. Choose a database that you want to stop the database activity stream for.

  4. For Actions, choose Stop activity stream. The Database Activity Stream window appears.

    1. Choose Immediately.

      When you choose Immediately, the RDS instance restarts right away. If you choose During the next maintenance window, the RDS instance doesn't restart right away. In this case, the database activity stream doesn't stop until the next maintenance window.

    2. Choose Continue.
