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

0

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

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:

CategoryRDS event IDMessage
creationRDS-EVENT-0090Creating automated snapshot.
creationRDS-EVENT-0091Automated snapshot created.

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