## Description

This is the /Amazon CloudWatch API Reference/. This guide provides
detailed information about Amazon CloudWatch actions, data types,
parameters, and errors. For detailed information about Amazon CloudWatch
features and their associated API calls, go to the
<http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide>.

Amazon CloudWatch is a web service that enables you to publish, monitor,
and manage various metrics, as well as configure alarm actions based on
data from metrics. For more information about this product go to
<http://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch>.

For information about the namespace, metric names, and dimensions that
other Amazon Web Services products use to send metrics to Cloudwatch, go
to
<http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/CW_Support_For_AWS.html Amazon CloudWatch Metrics, Namespaces, and Dimensions Reference>
in the /Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide/.

In addition to using the Amazon CloudWatch API, you can also use the
following SDKs and third-party libraries to access Amazon CloudWatch
programmatically.

-   <http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/sdkforjava/ AWS SDK for Java Documentation>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/sdkfornet/ AWS SDK for .NET Documentation>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/sdkforphp/ AWS SDK for PHP Documentation>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/sdkforruby/ AWS SDK for Ruby Documentation>

Developers in the AWS developer community also provide their own
libraries, which you can find at the following AWS developer centers:

-   <http://aws.amazon.com/java/ AWS Java Developer Center>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/php/ AWS PHP Developer Center>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/python/ AWS Python Developer Center>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/ruby/ AWS Ruby Developer Center>
-   <http://aws.amazon.com/net/ AWS Windows and .NET Developer Center>

Documentation is available via [Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/amazonka-cloudwatch)
and the [AWS API Reference](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html).

The types from this library are intended to be used with [amazonka](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/amazonka),
which provides mechanisms for specifying AuthN/AuthZ information and sending requests.

Use of lenses is required for constructing and manipulating types.
This is due to the amount of nesting of AWS types and transparency regarding
de/serialisation into more palatable Haskell values.
The provided lenses should be compatible with any of the major lens libraries
[lens](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens) or [lens-family-core](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-family-core).
