Network.AWS.CloudWatch.GetMetricStatistics

Contents

Description

Gets statistics for the specified metric.

The maximum number of data points returned from a single GetMetricStatistics request is 1,440, wereas the maximum number of data points that can be queried is 50,850. If you make a request that generates more than 1,440 data points, Amazon CloudWatch returns an error. In such a case, you can alter the request by narrowing the specified time range or increasing the specified period. Alternatively, you can make multiple requests across adjacent time ranges.

Amazon CloudWatch aggregates data points based on the length of the period that you specify. For example, if you request statistics with a one-minute granularity, Amazon CloudWatch aggregates data points with time stamps that fall within the same one-minute period. In such a case, the data points queried can greatly outnumber the data points returned.

The following examples show various statistics allowed by the data point query maximum of 50,850 when you call GetMetricStatistics on Amazon EC2 instances with detailed (one-minute) monitoring enabled:

  • Statistics for up to 400 instances for a span of one hour
  • Statistics for up to 35 instances over a span of 24 hours
  • Statistics for up to 2 instances over a span of 2 weeks

For information about the namespace, metric names, and dimensions that other Amazon Web Services products use to send metrics to Cloudwatch, go to Amazon CloudWatch Metrics, Namespaces, and Dimensions Reference in the Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide.

See: AWS API Reference for GetMetricStatistics.

Synopsis

Creating a Request

Request Lenses

gmsDimensions :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics [Dimension] Source

A list of dimensions describing qualities of the metric.

gmsNamespace :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics Text Source

The namespace of the metric, with or without spaces.

gmsMetricName :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics Text Source

The name of the metric, with or without spaces.

gmsStartTime :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics UTCTime Source

The time stamp to use for determining the first datapoint to return. The value specified is inclusive; results include datapoints with the time stamp specified.

gmsEndTime :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics UTCTime Source

The time stamp to use for determining the last datapoint to return. The value specified is exclusive; results will include datapoints up to the time stamp specified.

gmsPeriod :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics Natural Source

The granularity, in seconds, of the returned datapoints. Period must be at least 60 seconds and must be a multiple of 60. The default value is 60.

gmsStatistics :: Lens' GetMetricStatistics (NonEmpty Statistic) Source

The metric statistics to return. For information about specific statistics returned by GetMetricStatistics, go to Statistics in the Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide.

Valid Values: 'Average | Sum | SampleCount | Maximum | Minimum'

Destructuring the Response

getMetricStatisticsResponse Source

Creates a value of GetMetricStatisticsResponse with the minimum fields required to make a request.

Use one of the following lenses to modify other fields as desired:

Response Lenses

gmsrsDatapoints :: Lens' GetMetricStatisticsResponse [Datapoint] Source

The datapoints for the specified metric.

gmsrsLabel :: Lens' GetMetricStatisticsResponse (Maybe Text) Source

A label describing the specified metric.
