You can get detailed information about each Managed Service for PostgreSQL cluster you created.

Getting a list of database clusters in a folderGetting a list of database clusters in a folder

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API

Go to Managed Service for PostgreSQL.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of PostgreSQL clusters in the default folder, run this command:

yc managed-postgresql cluster list
+----------------------+---------------+-----------------------------+--------+---------+
|          ID          |     NAME      |         CREATED AT          | HEALTH | STATUS  |
+----------------------+---------------+-----------------------------+--------+---------+

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Call the Cluster.list method, e.g., via the following cURL request:

    curl \
      --request GET \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
      --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-postgresql/v1/clusters' \
      --url-query folderId=<folder_ID>
    

    You can request the folder ID with the list of folders in the cloud.

  3. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Call the ClusterService.List method, e.g., via the following gRPCurl request:

    grpcurl \
      -format json \
      -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
      -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
      -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/postgresql/v1/cluster_service.proto \
      -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
      -d '{
            "folder_id": "<folder_ID>"
          }' \
      mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
      yandex.cloud.mdb.postgresql.v1.ClusterService.List
    

    You can request the folder ID with the list of folders in the cloud.

  4. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.

You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Call the Cluster.Get method, e.g., via the following cURL request:

    curl \
      --request GET \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
      --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-postgresql/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>'
    

    You can get the cluster ID from the folder’s cluster list.

  3. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

          }' \
      mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
      yandex.cloud.mdb.postgresql.v1.ClusterService.Get
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

Viewing cluster operationsViewing cluster operations

All actions with Managed Service for PostgreSQL clusters are logged as a list of operations. Each operation gets its own unique ID.

Getting a list of operationsGetting a list of operations

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API

To view operations with all Managed Service for PostgreSQL clusters, select Operations in the left-hand panel. In the list that opens, you will also see operations for the deleted resources.

You can get a list of operations for a cluster as follows:

  1. In the management console, open the folder with the cluster.

  2. Go to Managed Service for PostgreSQL.

  3. In the left-hand panel, select Clusters.

  4. Select your cluster.

  5. Navigate to the Operations panel for the cluster you selected.

    You will see the list of operations with this cluster.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of operations for a Managed Service for PostgreSQL cluster, run this command:

yc managed-postgresql cluster list-operations <cluster_name_or_ID>
