# Listing DB cluster parameter groups
<a name="USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.ListingCluster"></a>

You can list the DB cluster parameter groups you've created for your AWS account.

**Note**  
Default parameter groups are automatically created from a default parameter template when you create a DB cluster for a particular DB engine and version. These default parameter groups contain preferred parameter settings and can't be modified. When you create a custom parameter group, you can modify parameter settings.

**To list all DB cluster parameter groups for an AWS account**

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 **Parameter groups**.

   The DB cluster parameter groups appear in the list with **DB cluster parameter group** for **Type**.

## AWS CLI
<a name="USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.ListingCluster.CLI"></a>

To list all DB cluster parameter groups for an AWS account, use the AWS CLI [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-db-clusterparameter-groups.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-db-clusterparameter-groups.html) command.

**Example**  
The following example lists all available DB cluster parameter groups for an AWS account.  

```
aws rds describe-db-cluster-parameter-groups
```
The following example describes the *mydbclusterparametergroup* parameter group.  
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:  

```
aws rds describe-db-cluster-parameter-groups \
    --db-cluster-parameter-group-name mydbclusterparametergroup
```
For Windows:  

```
aws rds describe-db-cluster-parameter-groups ^
    --db-cluster-parameter-group-name mydbclusterparametergroup
```
The command returns a response like the following:  

```
{
    "DBClusterParameterGroups": [
        {
            "DBClusterParameterGroupName": "mydbclusterparametergroup2",
            "DBParameterGroupFamily": "mysql8.0",
            "Description": "My new cluster parameter group",
            "DBClusterParameterGroupArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster-pg:mydbclusterparametergroup"
        }
    ]
}
```
