Check your DynamoDB table's current warm throughput - Amazon DynamoDB

Check your DynamoDB table's current warm throughput

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

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/.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Tables.

  3. On the Tables page, choose your desired table.

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

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

  2. 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.
