Reporting if Performance Insights is enabled using the aws cli

Question

aws pi help displays two options, describe-dimension-keys and get-resource-metrics however, does anyone know of a means by which one can report if Performance insights is actually enabled on your RDS databases using the aws cli?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use describe-db-instances for that.

Example:

aws rds describe-db-instances \
    --db-instance-identifier database-1 \
    --query 'DBInstances[0].PerformanceInsightsEnabled' \
    --output text

Example output:

True
