How to get tags from RDS DBInstance

I have a problem when I try to get Tags from RDS DBInstances on java.

AmazonRDS rds = new AmazonRDSClient(credentialsProvider);
ListTagsForResourceRequest request = new ListTagsForResourceRequest();
ListTagsForResourceResult resultedTags = rds.listTagsForResource(request);

Status Code: 500, AWS Service: AmazonRDS, AWS Request ID: ..., AWS Error Code: InternalFailure, AWS Error Message: An internal error has occurred. Please try your query again at a later time.
Stack Trace:

thank you in advance

Solution

  • From the Amazon RDS API reference, it looks like the ResourceName parameter on the request is required: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/APIReference/API_ListTagsForResource.html

    Try setting that request parameter with one of your RDS DB instance IDs and you should get a good response back.

    I'm not sure why you didn't get a more helpful error message back from the service. I'll pass that info along to the RDS team.

    Hope that helps!
