List the specified metrics. You can use the returned metrics with GetMetricData or GetMetricStatistics to get statistical data.

Up to 500 results are returned for any one call. To retrieve additional results, use the returned token with subsequent calls.

After you create a metric, allow up to 15 minutes for the metric to appear. To see metric statistics sooner, use GetMetricData or GetMetricStatistics.

If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can use this operation in a monitoring account and view metrics from the linked source accounts. For more information, see CloudWatch cross-account observability.

ListMetrics doesn't return information about metrics if those metrics haven't reported data in the past two weeks. To retrieve those metrics, use GetMetricData or GetMetricStatistics.

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to ListMetricsAsync.
