Gets the aggregated profile of a profiling group for a specified time range. Amazon CodeGuru Profiler collects posted agent profiles for a profiling group into aggregated profiles.
<note> <p> Because aggregated profiles expire over time <code>GetProfile</code> is not idempotent. </p> </note> <p> Specify the time range for the requested aggregated profile using 1 or 2 of the following parameters: <code>startTime</code>, <code>endTime</code>, <code>period</code>. The maximum time range allowed is 7 days. If you specify all 3 parameters, an exception is thrown. If you specify only <code>period</code>, the latest aggregated profile is returned. </p> <p> Aggregated profiles are available with aggregation periods of 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day, aligned to UTC. The aggregation period of an aggregated profile determines how long it is retained. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codeguru/latest/profiler-api/API_AggregatedProfileTime.html"> <code>AggregatedProfileTime</code> </a>. The aggregated profile's aggregation period determines how long it is retained by CodeGuru Profiler. </p> <ul> <li> <p> If the aggregation period is 5 minutes, the aggregated profile is retained for 15 days. </p> </li> <li> <p> If the aggregation period is 1 hour, the aggregated profile is retained for 60 days. </p> </li> <li> <p> If the aggregation period is 1 day, the aggregated profile is retained for 3 years. </p> </li> </ul> <p>There are two use cases for calling <code>GetProfile</code>.</p> <ol> <li> <p> If you want to return an aggregated profile that already exists, use <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codeguru/latest/profiler-api/API_ListProfileTimes.html"> <code>ListProfileTimes</code> </a> to view the time ranges of existing aggregated profiles. Use them in a <code>GetProfile</code> request to return a specific, existing aggregated profile. </p> </li> <li> <p> If you want to return an aggregated profile for a time range that doesn't align with an existing aggregated profile, then CodeGuru Profiler makes a best effort to combine existing aggregated profiles from the requested time range and return them as one aggregated profile. </p> <p> If aggregated profiles do not exist for the full time range requested, then aggregated profiles for a smaller time range are returned. For example, if the requested time range is from 00:00 to 00:20, and the existing aggregated profiles are from 00:15 and 00:25, then the aggregated profiles from 00:15 to 00:20 are returned. </p> </li> </ol>
