NAME

Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricData - Arguments for method GetMetricData on Paws::CloudWatch

DESCRIPTION

This class represents the parameters used for calling the method GetMetricData on the Amazon CloudWatch service. Use the attributes of this class as arguments to method GetMetricData.

You shouldn't make instances of this class. Each attribute should be used as a named argument in the call to GetMetricData.

SYNOPSIS

    my $monitoring = Paws->service('CloudWatch');
    my $GetMetricDataOutput = $monitoring->GetMetricData(
      EndTime           => '1970-01-01T01:00:00',
      MetricDataQueries => [
        {
          Id         => 'MyMetricId',            # min: 1, max: 255
          Expression => 'MyMetricExpression',    # min: 1, max: 1024; OPTIONAL
          Label      => 'MyMetricLabel',         # OPTIONAL
          MetricStat => {

                  Name  => 'MyDimensionName',     # min: 1, max: 255
                  Value => 'MyDimensionValue',    # min: 1, max: 255

                },
                ...
              ],                                  # max: 10; OPTIONAL
              MetricName => 'MyMetricName',       # min: 1, max: 255; OPTIONAL
              Namespace  => 'MyNamespace',        # min: 1, max: 255; OPTIONAL
            },
            Period => 1,                          # min: 1
            Stat   => 'MyStat',
            Unit   => 'Seconds'
            , # values: Seconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes, Bits, Kilobits, Megabits, Gigabits, Terabits, Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Kilobytes/Second, Megabytes/Second, Gigabytes/Second, Terabytes/Second, Bits/Second, Kilobits/Second, Megabits/Second, Gigabits/Second, Terabits/Second, Count/Second, None; OPTIONAL
          },    # OPTIONAL
          ReturnData => 1,    # OPTIONAL
        },
        ...
      ],
      StartTime     => '1970-01-01T01:00:00',
      MaxDatapoints => 1,                        # OPTIONAL
      NextToken     => 'MyNextToken',            # OPTIONAL
      ScanBy        => 'TimestampDescending',    # OPTIONAL
    );

    # Results:
    my $MetricDataResults = $GetMetricDataOutput->MetricDataResults;
    my $NextToken         = $GetMetricDataOutput->NextToken;

    # Returns a L<Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricDataOutput> object.

Values for attributes that are native types (Int, String, Float, etc) can passed as-is (scalar values). Values for complex Types (objects) can be passed as a HashRef. The keys and values of the hashref will be used to instance the underlying object. For the AWS API documentation, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/WebAPI/monitoring/GetMetricData

ATTRIBUTES

REQUIRED EndTime => Str

The time stamp indicating the latest data to be returned.

For better performance, specify StartTime and EndTime values that align with the value of the metric's Period and sync up with the beginning and end of an hour. For example, if the Period of a metric is 5 minutes, specifying 12:05 or 12:30 as EndTime can get a faster response from CloudWatch then setting 12:07 or 12:29 as the EndTime.

MaxDatapoints => Int

The maximum number of data points the request should return before paginating. If you omit this, the default of 100,800 is used.

REQUIRED MetricDataQueries => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::MetricDataQuery]

The metric queries to be returned. A single GetMetricData call can include as many as 100 MetricDataQuery structures. Each of these structures can specify either a metric to retrieve, or a math expression to perform on retrieved data.

NextToken => Str

Include this value, if it was returned by the previous call, to get the next set of data points.

ScanBy => Str

The order in which data points should be returned. TimestampDescending returns the newest data first and paginates when the MaxDatapoints limit is reached. TimestampAscending returns the oldest data first and paginates when the MaxDatapoints limit is reached.

Valid values are: "TimestampDescending", "TimestampAscending"

REQUIRED StartTime => Str

The time stamp indicating the earliest data to be returned.

For better performance, specify StartTime and EndTime values that align with the value of the metric's Period and sync up with the beginning and end of an hour. For example, if the Period of a metric is 5 minutes, specifying 12:05 or 12:30 as StartTime can get a faster response from CloudWatch then setting 12:07 or 12:29 as the StartTime.
