Metric data type contains information about a specific metric. If
you call ListMetrics, Amazon CloudWatch returns information contained by this
data type.
The example in the Examples section publishes two metrics named buffers and latency. Both metrics are in the examples namespace. Both metrics have two dimensions, InstanceID and InstanceType.

Examples
This example shows how to list a set of metrics.
List metrics example
var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();
var filter = new DimensionFilter
{
Name = "InstanceType",
Value = "t1.micro"
};
var request = new ListMetricsRequest
{
Dimensions = new List<DimensionFilter>() { filter },
MetricName = "CPUUtilization",
Namespace = "AWS/EC2"
};
var response = new ListMetricsResponse();
do
{
response = client.ListMetrics(request);
if (response.Metrics.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var metric in response.Metrics)
{
Console.WriteLine(metric.MetricName +
" (" + metric.Namespace + ")");
foreach (var dimension in metric.Dimensions)
{
Console.WriteLine(" " + dimension.Name + ": "
+ dimension.Value);
}
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("No metrics found.");
}
request.NextToken = response.NextToken;
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(response.NextToken));
