Database Autonomy Service:CreateStorageAnalysisTask

Last Updated:Mar 13, 2026

Creates a storage analysis task to query the usage details of one or more databases and tables.

Operation description

  • This operation is applicable only to ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances, PolarDB for MySQL clusters, and ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances.

  • For ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances and PolarDB for MySQL clusters, this operation works the same as the storage analysis feature of the previous version. Tasks generated by this operation cannot be viewed on the Storage Analysis page of the new version in the Database Autonomy Service (DAS) console. If you want to view the tasks and results, call the related API operation to obtain data and save data to your computer.

  • If you use an Alibaba Cloud SDK or DAS SDK to call this operation, we recommend that you use the latest version of the SDK.

  • If you use an SDK to call operations of DAS, you must set the region ID to cn-shanghai.

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

InstanceId

string

Yes

The instance ID.

rm-2ze1jdv45i7l6****

NodeId

string

No

The node ID. For ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances, you can use this parameter to specify a node for storage analysis. You can call the DescribeRoleZoneInfo operation to query the information about nodes of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

  • If you set this parameter to a value in the InsName format, such as d-bp1872fa24d5****, you can call this operation to analyze the hidden node that corresponds to the node ID.

  • If you set this parameter to a value in the InsName#RoleId format, such as d-bp1872fa24d5****#299****5, you can call this operation to analyze the specified node.

Note

If you run a storage analysis task on an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instance and you do not specify this parameter, only the hidden node of the instance is analyzed by default. If you run a storage analysis task on an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance, we recommend that you set this parameter to specify a node.

d-bp1872fa24d5****

DbName

string

No

The database name. If you specify a database, the operation analyzes the storage usage of the specified database.

testdb01

TableName

string

No

The table name. If you specify a table in the specified database, the operation analyzes the storage usage of the specified table. If you specify a table, you must also specify the database to which the table belongs by using DbName.
