           [--duration  value ] [--end-time  value ] [--marker  value ]

DESCRIPTION

           Returns information about the events related to your database instances,
        DBSecurityGroups and DBParameterGroups

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

        --duration VALUE
           The time in minutes, defaulting to the previous hour's worth of events.
           To get all events that occurred in the past X minutes specify a
           --duration of X. The --duration parameter is ignored if --start-time or
           --end-time is specified.

        --end-time VALUE
           This parameter tells the end time until which you want your events. If
           the --start-time parameter and value is specified, then users would get
           events that occurred during that period. If no start time is specified,
           then the user will get events that occurred between 60 minutes prior to
           the end time and the end time.

        --source-identifier VALUE
           When used with --source-type, it restricts the events returned to a
           particular event source.

        --source-type VALUE
           Restrict the return to the type of the event source passed in. Examples
           of types include 'db-instance', 'db-security-group',
           'db-parameter-group', 'db-snapshot'.

        --start-time VALUE
           Begin time. By default, this will be the past 1 hour of events if neither
           --start-time nor --end-time are specified. Use the ISO8601 date format:
           e.g. 2009-03-31T10:00:00-08:00.

GENERAL OPTIONS

        --aws-credential-file VALUE
           Location of the file with your AWS credentials. Must not be specified in
           conjunction with --ec2-cert-file-path or --ec2-private-key-file-path.
           This value can be set by using the environment variable
           'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

        -C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
           Path to AWS X.509 certificate file. Must be specified in conjunction with
           --ec2-private-key-file-path and must not be specified in conjunction with
           --aws-credential-file. This value can be set by using the environment
           variable 'EC2_CERT'.

        --connection-timeout VALUE
           Specify a connection timeout VALUE (in seconds) for API calls. The
           default value is '30'.

        --debug
           If an error occurs while --debug is used, it will display information
           useful for debugging the problem. The default value is 'false'.

        --delimiter VALUE
           What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

        --headers
           If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
           column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
           headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

        -I, --access-key-id VALUE
           Specify the AWS Access ID to use.

        -K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
           Path to AWS X.509 private key file. Must be specified in conjunction with
           --ec2-cert-file-path and must not be specified in conjunction with
           --aws-credential-file. This value can be set by using the environment
           variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

        --marker VALUE
           The marker provided in the previous request. If this parameter is
           specified the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to
           MaxRecords.

        --max-records VALUE
           Maximum number of records to return per page.

        --region VALUE
           Specify region VALUE as the web service region to use. This value can be
           set by using the environment variable 'EC2_REGION'.

        -S, --secret-key VALUE
           Specify the AWS Secret Key to use.

        --service-sig-name VALUE
           Specify the service name to use when signing requests.  The default is
           "rds". This value can be set by using the environment variable
           'SERVICE_SIG_NAME'.

        --show-empty-fields
           Show empty fields and rows, using a "(nil)" value. The default is to not
           show empty fields or columns.

        --show-request
           Displays the URL used by the tools to call the AWS Service. The default
           value is 'false'.

        --show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
           Specify how the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long), xml, or
           no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
           column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
           by a character. The xml is the raw return from the service, while quiet
           suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

        -U, --url VALUE
           This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
           value can be set by using the environment variable 'RDS_URL'.
