How to use Instance scheduler on aws management console

There are a few things you can check to troubleshoot why Instance Scheduler is not working for your RDS DB instance:

• Make sure that the RDS DB instance is tagged with the correct schedule tag, The tag key must be Schedule and the tag value must be the name of the schedule that you want to apply to the instance.

• Check that the schedule is enabled. You can do this in the AWS Systems Manager console by navigating to Maintenance Windows and then selecting the schedule that you would like to check.

• Make sure that the RDS DB instance is in a running state before the schedule is scheduled to start. If the instance is stopped, the Instance Scheduler will not be able to start it.

• Check the CloudWatch logs for Instance Scheduler. You can find these logs in the CloudWatch console by navigating to logs and then selecting the Instance Scheduler log group.

If you have checked all of the above and Instance Scheduler is still not working for your RDS DB instance, you can try the following:

• Create a new schedule and tag the RDS DB instance with the new schedule tag.
• Restart the Instance Scheduler service. You can do this in the AWS Systems Manager console by navigating to Automation and then selecting the Instance Scheduler automation document.
• Open a support ticket with AWS.

If you are using the Instance Scheduler stack that is provided in the documentation, the following are some additional things to check:

• Make sure that the stack is deployed in the same region as the RDS DB instance.
• Make sure that the stack has the correct permissions to start and stop the RDS DB instance. You can check this by reviewing the stack's IAM role.
• Check the CloudFormation console for any errors with the stack.
