# VM::EC2::Volume::Status::Event(3pm)

Object describing a scheduled volume maintenance event

## NAME

VM::EC2::Volume::Status::Event - Object describing a scheduled volume maintenance event

## SYNOPSIS

```
 @status_items = $ec2->describe_volume_status();
 for my $i (@status_items) {
    for my $event ($i->events) {
       print $i->volume_id,': ',
             $event->type,' ',
             $event->description, ' ',
             $event->notBefore, ' ',
             $event->notAfter,"\n";
    }
 }
```

## DESCRIPTION

This objects describes a scheduled maintenance event on an volume, and is returned by calling the **events()** method of one of the status item objects returned by `$ec2`-\>**describe\_volume\_status()**.

NOTE: There is an inconsistency in the AWS documentation for this data type. The events field is documented as being a list, but the examples shown show a single object. At release time, I was unable to verify which is correct and have written the code such that it will detect a single value in the response object and return this as a single-element list.

## METHODS

```
 eventType     -- The type of event
 eventId       -- The ID of the event
 description   -- A description of the event.
 notBefore     -- The earliest scheduled start time for the event.
 notAfter      -- The latest scheduled end time for the event.
 type          -- Alias for eventType

 id            -- Alias for eventId
```

When used in a string context, this object interpolates as a string using the eventType.
