# Check your DynamoDB table's current warm throughput
<a name="check-warm-throughput"></a>

Use the following AWS CLI and AWS Console instructions to check your table or index's current warm throughput value.

## AWS Management Console
<a name="warm-throughput-check-console"></a>

To check your DynamoDB table's warm throughput using the DynamoDB console:

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

1. In the left navigation pane, choose Tables.

1. On the **Tables** page, choose your desired table.

1. Select **Additional settings** to view your current warm throughput value. This value is shown as read units per second and write units per second.

## AWS CLI

The following AWS CLI example shows you how to check your DynamoDB table's warm throughput.

1. Run the `describe-table` operation on your DynamoDB table.

   ```
   aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name GameScores
   ```

1. You’ll receive a response similar to the one below. Your `WarmThroughput` settings will be displayed as `ReadUnitsPerSecond` and `WriteUnitsPerSecond`. The `Status` will be `UPDATING` when the warm throughput value is being updated, and `ACTIVE` when the new warm throughput value is set.
