Where can i find automated backup cloudtrail events for my RDS postgre.

Question

If i create a manual backup of my RDS postgre instance using console, I can see the event in cloudtrail as CreateDBSnapshot, but for automated backup for my RDS postgre instance, though backup is getting created I can't see any events in cloudtrail

Accepted Answer

Hi,

Amazon RDS does not send events to AWS CloudTrail for automated backups. However, you can leverage RDS events (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_Events.html) to generate notifications. For example by leveraging Amazon SNS and AWS Lambda.

> Amazon RDS uses the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to provide notification when an Amazon RDS event occurs

The event that you are looking for is likely RDS-EVENT-0091:

| Category | RDS event ID | Message |
| --- | --- | --- |
| creation | RDS-EVENT-0090 | Creating automated snapshot. |
| creation | RDS-EVENT-0091 | Automated snapshot created. |

Source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_Events.Messages.html#USER_Events.Messages.snapshot

Category	RDS event ID	Message
creation	RDS-EVENT-0090	Creating automated snapshot.
creation	RDS-EVENT-0091	Automated snapshot created.
