Monitoring an Amazon DocumentDB Instance’s Status

    Note

    Amazon DocumentDB also uses another status called maintenance status, which is shown in the Maintenance column of the Amazon DocumentDB console. This value indicates the status of any maintenance patches that need to be applied to an instance. Maintenance status is independent of the Amazon DocumentDB instance status. For more information about maintenance status, see Applying Amazon DocumentDB Updates.

    The following table lists the possible status values for instances and how you are billed for each status. It shows if you will be billed for the instance and storage, only storage, or not billed. For all instance statuses, you are always billed for backup usage.

    When using the AWS CLI to determine the status of a cluster, use the following procedure.

    1. In the navigation pane, choose Clusters.

    2. Find the name of the instance that you are interested in. Then, to find the status of the instance, read across that row to the Status column, as shown following.
