DescribeInstanceHistoryEvents - API Reference| Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Description

You can query system events that were finished within the last 30 days. The time range for querying unfinished system events is unlimited.
You can also specify the InstanceEventCycleStatus parameter to query the system events that are in the Scheduled, Executing, or Inquiring state.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
