create_event_subscription

Operation

create_event_subscription async 

create_event_subscription(input: CreateEventSubscriptionInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> CreateEventSubscriptionOutput

Creates an RDS event notification subscription. This operation requires a topic Amazon Resource Name (ARN) created by either the RDS console, the SNS console, or the SNS API. To obtain an ARN with SNS, you must create a topic in Amazon SNS and subscribe to the topic. The ARN is displayed in the SNS console.

You can specify the type of source (SourceType) that you want to be notified of and provide a list of RDS sources (SourceIds) that triggers the events. You can also provide a list of event categories (EventCategories) for events that you want to be notified of. For example, you can specify SourceType = db-instance, SourceIds = mydbinstance1, mydbinstance2 and EventCategories = Availability, Backup.

If you specify both the SourceType and SourceIds, such as SourceType = db-instance and SourceIds = myDBInstance1, you are notified of all the db-instance events for the specified source. If you specify a SourceType but do not specify SourceIds, you receive notice of the events for that source type for all your RDS sources. If you don't specify either the SourceType or the SourceIds, you are notified of events generated from all RDS sources belonging to your customer account.

For more information about subscribing to an event for RDS DB engines, see Subscribing to Amazon RDS event notification in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

For more information about subscribing to an event for Aurora DB engines, see Subscribing to Amazon RDS event notification in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input CreateEventSubscriptionInput

An instance of CreateEventSubscriptionInput.

 required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

 None

Returns:

Type Description
CreateEventSubscriptionOutput

An instance of CreateEventSubscriptionOutput.

Input

CreateEventSubscriptionInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Attributes

enabled class-attribute instance-attribute 
enabled: bool | None = ...

Specifies whether to activate the subscription. If the event notification subscription isn't activated, the subscription is created but not active.

event_categories class-attribute instance-attribute 
event_categories: list[str] | None = ...

A list of event categories for a particular source type (SourceType) that you want to subscribe to. You can see a list of the categories for a given source type in the "Amazon RDS event categories and event messages" section of the Amazon RDS User Guide or the Amazon Aurora User Guide . You can also see this list by using the DescribeEventCategories operation.

sns_topic_arn class-attribute instance-attribute 
sns_topic_arn: str | None = ...

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the SNS topic created for event notification. SNS automatically creates the ARN when you create a topic and subscribe to it.

Note

RDS doesn't support FIFO (first in, first out) topics. For more information, see Message ordering and deduplication (FIFO topics) in the Amazon Simple Notification Service Developer Guide.

source_ids class-attribute instance-attribute 
source_ids: list[str] | None = ...

The list of identifiers of the event sources for which events are returned. If not specified, then all sources are included in the response. An identifier must begin with a letter and must contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens. It can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Constraints:

  • If SourceIds are supplied, SourceType must also be provided.

  • If the source type is a DB instance, a DBInstanceIdentifier value must be supplied.

  • If the source type is a DB cluster, a DBClusterIdentifier value must be supplied.

  • If the source type is a DB parameter group, a DBParameterGroupName value must be supplied.

  • If the source type is a DB security group, a DBSecurityGroupName value must be supplied.

  • If the source type is a DB snapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier value must be supplied.

  • If the source type is a DB cluster snapshot, a DBClusterSnapshotIdentifier value must be supplied.

  • If the source type is an RDS Proxy, a DBProxyName value must be supplied.

source_type class-attribute instance-attribute 
source_type: str | None = ...

The type of source that is generating the events. For example, if you want to be notified of events generated by a DB instance, you set this parameter to db-instance. For RDS Proxy events, specify db-proxy. If this value isn't specified, all events are returned.

Valid Values:db-instance | db-cluster | db-parameter-group | db-security-group | db-snapshot | db-cluster-snapshot | db-proxy | zero-etl | custom-engine-version | blue-green-deployment

subscription_name class-attribute instance-attribute 
subscription_name: str | None = ...

The name of the subscription.

Constraints: The name must be less than 255 characters.

tags class-attribute instance-attribute 
tags: list[Tag] | None = ...

A list of tags.

For more information, see Tagging Amazon RDS resources in the Amazon RDS User Guide or Tagging Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS resources in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Output

CreateEventSubscriptionOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for CreateEventSubscriptionOutput structure.

Attributes

event_subscription class-attribute instance-attribute 
event_subscription: EventSubscription | None = ...

Contains the results of a successful invocation of the DescribeEventSubscriptions action.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute 
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
