Overview of events for Amazon RDS

An RDS event indicates a change in the Amazon RDS environment. For example, Amazon RDS generates an event when the state of a DB instance changes from pending to running. Amazon RDS delivers events to EventBridge in near-real time.

Note

Amazon RDS emits events on a best effort basis. We recommend that you avoid writing programs that depend on the order or existence of notification events, because they might be out of sequence or missing.

Amazon RDS records events that relate to the following resources:

• DB instances
  For a list of DB instance events, see DB instance events.
• DB parameter groups
  For a list of DB parameter group events, see DB parameter group events.
• DB security groups
  For a list of DB security group events, see DB security group events.
• DB snapshots
  For a list of DB snapshot events, see DB snapshot events.
• RDS Proxy events
  For a list of RDS Proxy events, see RDS Proxy events.
• Blue/green deployment events
  For a list of blue/green deployment events, see Blue/green deployment events.

This information includes the following:

• The date and time of the event
• The source name and source type of the event
• A message associated with the event
• Event notifications include tags from when the message was sent and may not reflect tags at the time when the event occurred
