NAME

Paws::CloudWatch - Perl Interface to AWS Amazon CloudWatch

SYNOPSIS

  use Paws;

  my $obj = Paws->service('CloudWatch');
  my $res = $obj->Method(
    Arg1 => $val1,
    Arg2 => [ 'V1', 'V2' ],
    # if Arg3 is an object, the HashRef will be used as arguments to the constructor
    # of the arguments type
    Arg3 => { Att1 => 'Val1' },
    # if Arg4 is an array of objects, the HashRefs will be passed as arguments to
    # the constructor of the arguments type
    Arg4 => [ { Att1 => 'Val1'  }, { Att1 => 'Val2' } ],
  );

DESCRIPTION

Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources and the applications you run on AWS in real-time. You can use CloudWatch to collect and track metrics, which are the variables you want to measure for your resources and applications.

CloudWatch alarms send notifications or automatically make changes to the resources you are monitoring based on rules that you define. For example, you can monitor the CPU usage and disk reads and writes of your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and then use this data to determine whether you should launch additional instances to handle increased load. You can also use this data to stop under-used instances to save money.

In addition to monitoring the built-in metrics that come with AWS, you can monitor your own custom metrics. With CloudWatch, you gain system-wide visibility into resource utilization, application performance, and operational health.

METHODS

DeleteAlarms(AlarmNames => ArrayRef[Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::DeleteAlarms

Returns: nothing

  Deletes all specified alarms. In the event of an error, no alarms are
deleted.

DescribeAlarmHistory([AlarmName => Str, EndDate => Str, HistoryItemType => Str, MaxRecords => Int, NextToken => Str, StartDate => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmHistory

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmHistoryOutput instance

  Retrieves history for the specified alarm. Filter alarms by date range
or item type. If an alarm name is not specified, Amazon CloudWatch
returns histories for all of the owner's alarms.

Amazon CloudWatch retains the history of an alarm for two weeks, whether or not you delete the alarm.

DescribeAlarms([ActionPrefix => Str, AlarmNamePrefix => Str, AlarmNames => ArrayRef[Str], MaxRecords => Int, NextToken => Str, StateValue => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarms

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmsOutput instance

  Retrieves alarms with the specified names. If no name is specified, all
alarms for the user are returned. Alarms can be retrieved by using only
a prefix for the alarm name, the alarm state, or a prefix for any
action.

DescribeAlarmsForMetric(MetricName => Str, Namespace => Str, [Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Dimension], Period => Int, Statistic => Str, Unit => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmsForMetric

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmsForMetricOutput instance

  Retrieves all alarms for a single metric. Specify a statistic, period,
or unit to filter the set of alarms further.

DisableAlarmActions(AlarmNames => ArrayRef[Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::DisableAlarmActions

Returns: nothing

  Disables actions for the specified alarms. When an alarm's actions are
disabled the alarm's state may change, but none of the alarm's actions
will execute.

EnableAlarmActions(AlarmNames => ArrayRef[Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::EnableAlarmActions

Returns: nothing

  Enables actions for the specified alarms.

GetMetricStatistics(EndTime => Str, MetricName => Str, Namespace => Str, Period => Int, StartTime => Str, Statistics => ArrayRef[Str], [Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Dimension], Unit => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricStatistics

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricStatisticsOutput instance

  Gets statistics for the specified metric.

The maximum number of data points that can be queried is 50,850, whereas the maximum number of data points returned from a single GetMetricStatistics request is 1,440. 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. GetMetricStatistics does not return the data in chronological order.

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.

ListMetrics([Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::DimensionFilter], MetricName => Str, Namespace => Str, NextToken => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetrics

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetricsOutput instance

  Returns a list of valid metrics stored for the AWS account owner.
Returned metrics can be used with GetMetricStatistics to obtain
statistical data for a given metric.

Up to 500 results are returned for any one call. To retrieve further results, use returned NextToken values with subsequent ListMetrics operations. If you create a metric with the PutMetricData action, allow up to fifteen minutes for the metric to appear in calls to the ListMetrics action. Statistics about the metric, however, are available sooner using GetMetricStatistics.

PutMetricAlarm(AlarmName => Str, ComparisonOperator => Str, EvaluationPeriods => Int, MetricName => Str, Namespace => Str, Period => Int, Statistic => Str, Threshold => Num, [ActionsEnabled => Bool, AlarmActions => ArrayRef[Str], AlarmDescription => Str, Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Dimension], InsufficientDataActions => ArrayRef[Str], OKActions => ArrayRef[Str], Unit => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutMetricAlarm

Returns: nothing

  Creates or updates an alarm and associates it with the specified Amazon
CloudWatch metric. Optionally, this operation can associate one or more
Amazon Simple Notification Service resources with the alarm.

When this operation creates an alarm, the alarm state is immediately set to INSUFFICIENT_DATA. The alarm is evaluated and its StateValue is set appropriately. Any actions associated with the StateValue is then executed.

When updating an existing alarm, its StateValue is left unchanged. If you are using an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) account to create or modify an alarm, you must have the following Amazon EC2 permissions:

  • ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus and ec2:DescribeInstances for all alarms on Amazon EC2 instance status metrics.

  • ec2:StopInstances for alarms with stop actions.

  • ec2:TerminateInstances for alarms with terminate actions.

  • ec2:DescribeInstanceRecoveryAttribute, and ec2:RecoverInstances for alarms with recover actions.

If you have read/write permissions for Amazon CloudWatch but not for Amazon EC2, you can still create an alarm but the stop or terminate actions won't be performed on the Amazon EC2 instance. However, if you are later granted permission to use the associated Amazon EC2 APIs, the alarm actions you created earlier will be performed. For more information about IAM permissions, see Permissions and Policies in Using IAM.

If you are using an IAM role (e.g., an Amazon EC2 instance profile), you cannot stop or terminate the instance using alarm actions. However, you can still see the alarm state and perform any other actions such as Amazon SNS notifications or Auto Scaling policies.

If you are using temporary security credentials granted using the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS), you cannot stop or terminate an Amazon EC2 instance using alarm actions.

PutMetricData(MetricData => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::MetricDatum], Namespace => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutMetricData

Returns: nothing

  Publishes metric data points to Amazon CloudWatch. Amazon CloudWatch
associates the data points with the specified metric. If the specified
metric does not exist, Amazon CloudWatch creates the metric. When
Amazon CloudWatch creates a metric, it can take up to fifteen minutes
for the metric to appear in calls to the ListMetrics action.

Each PutMetricData request is limited to 8 KB in size for HTTP GET requests and is limited to 40 KB in size for HTTP POST requests.

Although the Value parameter accepts numbers of type Double, Amazon CloudWatch rejects values that are either too small or too large. Values must be in the range of 8.515920e-109 to 1.174271e+108 (Base 10) or 2e-360 to 2e360 (Base 2). In addition, special values (e.g., NaN, +Infinity, -Infinity) are not supported.

Data that is timestamped 24 hours or more in the past may take in excess of 48 hours to become available from submission time using GetMetricStatistics.

SetAlarmState(AlarmName => Str, StateReason => Str, StateValue => Str, [StateReasonData => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::SetAlarmState

Returns: nothing

  Temporarily sets the state of an alarm. When the updated C<StateValue>
differs from the previous value, the action configured for the
appropriate state is invoked. For example, if your alarm is configured
to send an Amazon SNS message when an alarm is triggered, temporarily
changing the alarm's state to B<ALARM> will send an Amazon SNS message.
This is not a permanent change. The next periodic alarm check (in about
a minute) will set the alarm to its actual state. Because the alarm
state change happens very quickly, it is typically only visibile in the
alarm's B<History> tab in the Amazon CloudWatch console or through
C<DescribeAlarmHistory>.
