Get metric statistics example
var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();
var dimension = new Dimension
{
Name = "InstanceType",
Value = "t1.micro"
};
var request = new GetMetricStatisticsRequest
{
Dimensions = new List<Dimension>() { dimension },
EndTime = DateTime.Today,
MetricName = "CPUUtilization",
Namespace = "AWS/EC2",
// Get statistics by day.
Period = (int)TimeSpan.FromDays(1).TotalSeconds,
// Get statistics for the past month.
StartTime = DateTime.Today.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromDays(30)),
Statistics = new List<string>() { "Minimum" },
Unit = StandardUnit.Percent
};
var response = client.GetMetricStatistics(request);
if (response.Datapoints.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var point in response.Datapoints)
{
Console.WriteLine(point.Timestamp.ToShortDateString() +
" " + point.Minimum + "%");
}
}
