You can request 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 the folder page and select Managed Service for PostgreSQL.

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

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

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

yc managed-postgresql cluster list

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

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

    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 the request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the 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. Use the ClusterService.List call and send the following request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

    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.

Viewing operations with clustersViewing operations with clusters

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

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API

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

You can get a list of operations for a cluster:

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

  2. Select Managed Service for PostgreSQL.

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

  4. Select the cluster you need.

  5. Go to the Operations panel for the selected cluster.

    You will see a list of operations with the selected cluster.

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

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

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