AWS Performance Insights 2018-02-27
- Client: Aws\PI\PIClient
- Service ID: pi
- Version: 2018-02-27
This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Performance Insights (2018-02-27), and shows how to use the Aws\PI\PIClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2018-02-27 API version of the service.
Operation Summary
Each of the following operations can be created from a client using
$client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the
name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that
encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.
You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods
available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */).
You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the
word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).
- DescribeDimensionKeys ( array $params = [] )
For a specific time period, retrieve the top N dimension keys for a metric.
- GetResourceMetrics ( array $params = [] )
Retrieve Performance Insights metrics for a set of data sources, over a time period.

Parameter Details
Members
- EndTime
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

- GroupBy
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: DimensionGroup structure
A specification for how to aggregate the data points from a query result. You must specify a valid dimension group. Performance Insights will return all of the dimensions within that group, unless you provide the names of specific dimensions within that group. You can also request that Performance Insights return a limited number of values for a dimension.
- Identifier
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
An immutable, AWS Region-unique identifier for a data source. Performance Insights gathers metrics from this data source.
To use an Amazon RDS instance as a data source, you specify its
DbiResourceIdvalue - for example:db-FAIHNTYBKTGAUSUZQYPDS2GW4A - MaxResults
-
- Type: int
The maximum number of items to return in the response. If more items exist than the specified
MaxRecordsvalue, a pagination token is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved. - Metric

- Type: string
An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the token, up to the value specified by
MaxRecords. - PartitionBy
-
- Type: DimensionGroup structure
For each dimension specified in
GroupBy, specify a secondary dimension to further subdivide the partition keys in the response. - PeriodInSeconds
-
- Type: int
The granularity, in seconds, of the data points returned from Performance Insights. A period can be as short as one second, or as long as one day (86400 seconds). Valid values are:

60(one minute) -
300(five minutes) -
3600(one hour) -
86400(twenty-four hours)
If you don't specify
PeriodInSeconds, then Performance Insights will choose a value for you, with a goal of returning roughly 100-200 data points in the response. - ServiceType
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The AWS service for which Performance Insights will return metrics. The only valid value for ServiceType is:
RDS - StartTime
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)
