Querying a Snapshot List

Function

This API is used to query all snapshots of a cluster, including the snapshot creation time, data engine, snapshot ID, and snapshot status, helping you manage the lifecycle of cluster snapshots. This API enables you to quickly obtain the details of a specified snapshot, verify snapshot availability, and help you restore data, roll back versions, or analyze storage costs. This API also provides structured data support required for automatic monitoring and warning for the O&M team, significantly improving cluster O&M efficiency and stability.
