Table: aws_rds_db_event_subscription - Query AWS RDS DB Event Subscriptions using SQL

The AWS RDS DB Event Subscription is a feature of Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) that allows you to receive notifications when specific database events occur. These events can include failovers, backups, configurations changes, and more. By creating an event subscription, you can ensure that you are promptly informed about changes that could impact your database operations.

Table Usage Guide

The aws_rds_db_event_subscription table in Steampipe provides you with information about event subscriptions within Amazon RDS. This table allows you, as a DevOps engineer, to query event subscription-specific details, including the associated RDS DB instances, the types of events the subscription applies to, and the notification methods for those events. You can utilize this table to monitor the status of your RDS DB instances, manage event notifications, and ensure all event subscriptions are properly configured. The schema outlines the various attributes of the event subscription, including the subscription name, ARN, status, and associated tags.
