Working with administrative ARNs in Amazon Neptune

Resources that are created in Amazon Web Services are each uniquely identified with an Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For certain Amazon Neptune operations, you must uniquely identify a Neptune resource by specifying its ARN.

Getting an existing ARN in Amazon Neptune

You can get the ARN of a Neptune resource by using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or Neptune API.

Getting an existing ARN using the AWS Management Console

To get an ARN using the console, navigate to the resource that you want an ARN for, and view the details for that resource. For example, to get the ARN for a DB instance, choose Instances in the navigation panel, and choose the instance that you want from the list. The ARN is in the Instance Details section.

Getting an existing ARN using the AWS CLI

To use the AWS CLI to get an ARN for a particular Neptune resource, use the describe command for that resource. The following table shows each AWS CLI command and the ARN property that is used with the command to get an ARN.

For example, the following AWS CLI command gets the ARN for a DB instance.

aws neptune describe-db-instances \
--db-instance-identifier DBInstanceIdentifier \
--region us-west-2

aws neptune describe-db-instances ^
--db-instance-identifier DBInstanceIdentifier ^
--region us-west-2

Getting an existing ARN using the API

To get an ARN for a particular Neptune resource, call the following API actions and use the ARN properties shown.
