Overview

Note:

When passing GetMetricDataInput as input to an Aws::Client method, you can use a vanilla Hash:

{
  metric_data_queries: [ # required
    {
      id: "MetricId", # required
      metric_stat: {
        metric: { # required
          namespace: "Namespace",
          metric_name: "MetricName",
          dimensions: [
            {
              name: "DimensionName", # required
              value: "DimensionValue", # required
            },
          ],
        },
        period: 1, # required
        stat: "Stat", # required
        unit: "Seconds", # accepts Seconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes, Bits, Kilobits, Megabits, Gigabits, Terabits, Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Kilobytes/Second, Megabytes/Second, Gigabytes/Second, Terabytes/Second, Bits/Second, Kilobits/Second, Megabits/Second, Gigabits/Second, Terabits/Second, Count/Second, None
      },
      expression: "MetricExpression",
      label: "MetricLabel",
      return_data: false,
      period: 1,
    },
  ],
  start_time: Time.now, # required
  end_time: Time.now, # required
  next_token: "NextToken",
  scan_by: "TimestampDescending", # accepts TimestampDescending, TimestampAscending
  max_datapoints: 1,
}

Instance Attribute Details

#end_time ⇒ Time

The time stamp indicating the latest data to be returned.

The value specified is exclusive; results include data points up to the specified time stamp.

For better performance, specify StartTime and EndTime values that align with the value of the metric\'s Period and sync up with the beginning and end of an hour. For example, if the Period of a metric is 5 minutes, specifying 12:05 or 12:30 as EndTime can get a faster response from CloudWatch than setting 12:07 or 12:29 as the EndTime.

Returns:

  • (Time) —

    The time stamp indicating the latest data to be returned.

#max_datapoints ⇒ Integer

The maximum number of data points the request should return before paginating. If you omit this, the default of 100,800 is used.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The maximum number of data points the request should return before paginating.

#metric_data_queries ⇒ Array<Types::MetricDataQuery>

The metric queries to be returned. A single GetMetricData call can include as many as 500 MetricDataQuery structures. Each of these structures can specify either a metric to retrieve, or a math expression to perform on retrieved data.

Returns:

#next_token ⇒ String

Include this value, if it was returned by the previous GetMetricData operation, to get the next set of data points.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Include this value, if it was returned by the previous GetMetricData operation, to get the next set of data points.

#scan_by ⇒ String

The order in which data points should be returned. TimestampDescending returns the newest data first and paginates when the MaxDatapoints limit is reached. TimestampAscending returns the oldest data first and paginates when the MaxDatapoints limit is reached.

Possible values:

  • TimestampDescending
  • TimestampAscending

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The order in which data points should be returned.

#start_time ⇒ Time

The time stamp indicating the earliest data to be returned.

The value specified is inclusive; results include data points with the specified time stamp.

CloudWatch rounds the specified time stamp as follows:

  • Start time less than 15 days ago - Round down to the nearest whole minute. For example, 12:32:34 is rounded down to 12:32:00.

  • Start time between 15 and 63 days ago - Round down to the nearest 5-minute clock interval. For example, 12:32:34 is rounded down to 12:30:00.

  • Start time greater than 63 days ago - Round down to the nearest 1-hour clock interval. For example, 12:32:34 is rounded down to 12:00:00.

If you set Period to 5, 10, or 30, the start time of your request is rounded down to the nearest time that corresponds to even 5-, 10-, or 30-second divisions of a minute. For example, if you make a query at (HH:mm:ss) 01:05:23 for the previous 10-second period, the start time of your request is rounded down and you receive data from 01:05:10 to 01:05:20. If you make a query at 15:07:17 for the previous 5 minutes of data, using a period of 5 seconds, you receive data timestamped between 15:02:15 and 15:07:15.

For better performance, specify StartTime and EndTime values that align with the value of the metric\'s Period and sync up with the beginning and end of an hour. For example, if the Period of a metric is 5 minutes, specifying 12:05 or 12:30 as StartTime can get a faster response from CloudWatch than setting 12:07 or 12:29 as the StartTime.

Returns:

  • (Time) —

    The time stamp indicating the earliest data to be returned.
