以编程方式检查 redshift 集群状态

Question

Is there any way to ping redshift cluster and get its status. in JAVA, if it is "available" or not. I have to ping a cluster during downtime and check if it is available or not.

Answer 1

This depends on how you define "available".

The DescribeClusters() API call returns a ClusterStatus that provides the cluster status from the AWS viewpoint.

Or, you could connect to the Redshift cluster with an SQL client and see whether it accepts the connection. That would be checking the status from whether Redshift itself is responsive.

If the 'downtime' you report also affects the ClusterStatus, then the API call would be the easier method.
