GetMetricWidgetImageRequest Class

Container for the parameters to the GetMetricWidgetImage operation. You can use the GetMetricWidgetImage API to retrieve a snapshot graph of one or more Amazon CloudWatch metrics as a bitmap image. You can then embed this image into your services and products, such as wiki pages, reports, and documents. You could also retrieve images regularly, such as every minute, and create your own custom live dashboard.

The graph you retrieve can include all CloudWatch metric graph features, including metric math and horizontal and vertical annotations.

There is a limit of 20 transactions per second for this API. Each GetMetricWidgetImage action has the following limits:

As many as 100 metrics in the graph.
Up to 100 KB uncompressed payload.

Properties

Name Type Description

	Name	Type	Description
	MetricWidget	System.String	Gets and sets the property MetricWidget. A JSON string that defines the bitmap graph to be retrieved. The string includes the metrics to include in the graph, statistics, annotations, title, axis limits, and so on. You can include only one `MetricWidget` parameter in each `GetMetricWidgetImage` call. For more information about the syntax of `MetricWidget` see GetMetricWidgetImage: Metric Widget Structure and Syntax. If any metric on the graph could not load all the requested data points, an orange triangle with an exclamation point appears next to the graph legend.
	OutputFormat	System.String	Gets and sets the property OutputFormat. The format of the resulting image. Only PNG images are supported. The default is `png`. If you specify `png`, the API returns an HTTP response with the content-type set to `text/xml`. The image data is in a `MetricWidgetImage` field. For example: `>` `iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAlgAAAGQEAYAAAAip...` `6f0d4192-4d42-11e8-82c1-f539a07e0e3b` The `image/png` setting is intended only for custom HTTP requests. For most use cases, and all actions using an Amazon Web Services SDK, you should use `png`. If you specify `image/png`, the HTTP response has a content-type set to `image/png`, and the body of the response is a PNG image.
