Determining a cluster's status

Use the following procedure to see the status of your Amazon DocumentDB cluster using the AWS Management Console

Use the describe-db-clusters operation to see the the status of your Amazon DocumentDB cluster using the AWS CLI.

The following code finds the status of the cluster sample-cluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws docdb describe-db-clusters \
    --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster  \
    --query 'DBClusters[*].[DBClusterIdentifier,Status]'

For Windows:

aws docdb describe-db-clusters ^
    --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster  ^
    --query 'DBClusters[*].[DBClusterIdentifier,Status]'

Output from this operation looks something like the following (JSON format).

[
    [
        "sample-cluster",
        "available"
    ]
]
