How to filter rds events from 'aws rds describe-events'?

Question

If I run aws --profile dev rds describe-events,

I get output like these:

{
    "Events": [
        {
            "SourceIdentifier": "dev-important-data",
            "SourceType": "db-instance",
            "Message": "CloudWatch Logs Export enabled for logs [audit, error, general, slowquery]",
            "EventCategories": [],
            "Date": "2019-06-27T05:26:02.469Z",
            "SourceArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:141888792464:db:dev-important-data"
        }
}

Is it possible to apply filter to the output such that I will only see events coming form a certain SourceIdentifier?

I tried

aws --profile dev rds describe-events --duration 1000 --filters "Name=SourceIdentifier,Values=dev-important-data"

but i got the error:

Unrecognized filter name: SourceIdentifier

Then I tried to use the value Events.SourceIdentifier, but still same kind of error: Unrecognized filter name: Events.SourceIdentifier

What is the right way to construct the filter?

I should use -source-identifier and --source-type=db-instance parameters
