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 change 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 EC2 instances. 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.
For the AWS API documentation, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/
METHODS
DeleteAlarms
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::DeleteAlarms
Returns: nothing
Deletes the specified alarms. You can delete up to 100 alarms in one operation. However, this total can include no more than one composite alarm. For example, you could delete 99 metric alarms and one composite alarms with one operation, but you can't delete two composite alarms with one operation.
In the event of an error, no alarms are deleted.
It is possible to create a loop or cycle of composite alarms, where composite alarm A depends on composite alarm B, and composite alarm B also depends on composite alarm A. In this scenario, you can't delete any composite alarm that is part of the cycle because there is always still a composite alarm that depends on that alarm that you want to delete.
To get out of such a situation, you must break the cycle by changing the rule of one of the composite alarms in the cycle to remove a dependency that creates the cycle. The simplest change to make to break a cycle is to change the AlarmRule
of one of the alarms to False
.
Additionally, the evaluation of composite alarms stops if CloudWatch detects a cycle in the evaluation path.

UniqueContributors
-- the number of unique contributors for each data point.MaxContributorValue
-- the value of the top contributor for each data point. The identity of the contributor might change for each data point in the graph.If this rule aggregates by COUNT, the top contributor for each data point is the contributor with the most occurrences in that period. If the rule aggregates by SUM, the top contributor is the contributor with the highest sum in the log field specified by the rule's
Value
, during that period.SampleCount

- StartTime => Str
- [LabelOptions => Paws::CloudWatch::LabelOptions]
- [MaxDatapoints => Int]
- [NextToken => Str]
- [ScanBy => Str]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricData
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricDataOutput instance
You can use the GetMetricData
API to retrieve as many as 500 different metrics in a single request, with a total of as many as 100,800 data points. You can also optionally perform math expressions on the values of the returned statistics, to create new time series that represent new insights into your data. For example, using Lambda metrics, you could divide the Errors metric by the Invocations metric to get an error rate time series. For more information about metric math expressions, see Metric Math Syntax and Functions (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/using-metric-math.html#metric-math-syntax) in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
Calls to the GetMetricData
API have a different pricing structure than calls to GetMetricStatistics
. For more information about pricing, see Amazon CloudWatch Pricing (https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/).
Amazon CloudWatch retains metric data as follows:
Data points with a period of less than 60 seconds are available for 3 hours. These data points are high-resolution metrics and are available only for custom metrics that have been defined with a
StorageResolution
of 1.Data points with a period of 60 seconds (1-minute) are available for 15 days.
Data points with a period of 300 seconds (5-minute) are available for 63 days.
Data points with a period of 3600 seconds (1 hour) are available for 455 days (15 months).
Data points that are initially published with a shorter period are aggregated together for long-term storage. For example, if you collect data using a period of 1 minute, the data remains available for 15 days with 1-minute resolution. After 15 days, this data is still available, but is aggregated and retrievable only with a resolution of 5 minutes. After 63 days, the data is further aggregated and is available with a resolution of 1 hour.
If you omit Unit
in your request, all data that was collected with any unit is returned, along with the corresponding units that were specified when the data was reported to CloudWatch. If you specify a unit, the operation returns only data that was collected with that unit specified. If you specify a unit that does not match the data collected, the results of the operation are null. CloudWatch does not perform unit conversions.
GetMetricStatistics
- EndTime => Str
- MetricName => Str
- Namespace => Str
- Period => Int
- StartTime => Str
- [Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Dimension]]
- [ExtendedStatistics => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]]
- [Statistics => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]]
- [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 returned from a single call is 1,440. If you request more than 1,440 data points, CloudWatch returns an error. To reduce the number of data points, you can narrow the specified time range and make multiple requests across adjacent time ranges, or you can increase the specified period. Data points are not returned in chronological order.
CloudWatch aggregates data points based on the length of the period that you specify. For example, if you request statistics with a one-hour period, CloudWatch aggregates all data points with time stamps that fall within each one-hour period. Therefore, the number of values aggregated by CloudWatch is larger than the number of data points returned.
CloudWatch needs raw data points to calculate percentile statistics. If you publish data using a statistic set instead, you can only retrieve percentile statistics for this data if one of the following conditions is true:
The SampleCount value of the statistic set is 1.
The Min and the Max values of the statistic set are equal.
Percentile statistics are not available for metrics when any of the metric values are negative numbers.
Amazon CloudWatch retains metric data as follows:
Data points with a period of less than 60 seconds are available for 3 hours. These data points are high-resolution metrics and are available only for custom metrics that have been defined with a
StorageResolution
of 1.Data points with a period of 60 seconds (1-minute) are available for 15 days.
Data points with a period of 300 seconds (5-minute) are available for 63 days.
Data points with a period of 3600 seconds (1 hour) are available for 455 days (15 months).
Data points that are initially published with a shorter period are aggregated together for long-term storage. For example, if you collect data using a period of 1 minute, the data remains available for 15 days with 1-minute resolution. After 15 days, this data is still available, but is aggregated and retrievable only with a resolution of 5 minutes. After 63 days, the data is further aggregated and is available with a resolution of 1 hour.
CloudWatch started retaining 5-minute and 1-hour metric data as of July 9, 2016.
For information about metrics and dimensions supported by AWS services, see the Amazon CloudWatch Metrics and Dimensions Reference (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CW_Support_For_AWS.html) in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
GetMetricStream
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricStream
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricStreamOutput instance
Returns information about the metric stream that you specify.
GetMetricWidgetImage
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricWidgetImage
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricWidgetImageOutput instance
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.
ListDashboards
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::ListDashboards
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::ListDashboardsOutput instance
Returns a list of the dashboards for your account. If you include DashboardNamePrefix
, only those dashboards with names starting with the prefix are listed. Otherwise, all dashboards in your account are listed.
ListDashboards
returns up to 1000 results on one page. If there are more than 1000 dashboards, you can call ListDashboards
again and include the value you received for NextToken
in the first call, to receive the next 1000 results.
ListMetrics
- [Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::DimensionFilter]]
- [MetricName => Str]
- [Namespace => Str]
- [NextToken => Str]
- [RecentlyActive => Str]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetrics
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetricsOutput instance
List the specified metrics. You can use the returned metrics with GetMetricData (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricData.html) or GetMetricStatistics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html) to obtain statistical data.
Up to 500 results are returned for any one call. To retrieve additional results, use the returned token with subsequent calls.
After you create a metric, allow up to 15 minutes before the metric appears. You can see statistics about the metric sooner by using GetMetricData (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricData.html) or GetMetricStatistics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html).
ListMetrics
doesn't return information about metrics if those metrics haven't reported data in the past two weeks. To retrieve those metrics, use GetMetricData (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricData.html) or GetMetricStatistics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html).
ListMetricStreams
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetricStreams
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetricStreamsOutput instance
Returns a list of metric streams in this account.
ListTagsForResource
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::ListTagsForResource
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::ListTagsForResourceOutput instance
Displays the tags associated with a CloudWatch resource. Currently, alarms and Contributor Insights rules support tagging.
PutAnomalyDetector
- MetricName => Str
- Namespace => Str
- Stat => Str
- [Configuration => Paws::CloudWatch::AnomalyDetectorConfiguration]
- [Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Dimension]]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutAnomalyDetector
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::PutAnomalyDetectorOutput instance
Creates an anomaly detection model for a CloudWatch metric. You can use the model to display a band of expected normal values when the metric is graphed.
For more information, see CloudWatch Anomaly Detection (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch_Anomaly_Detection.html).
PutCompositeAlarm
- AlarmName => Str
- AlarmRule => Str
- [ActionsEnabled => Bool]
- [AlarmActions => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]]
- [AlarmDescription => Str]
- [InsufficientDataActions => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]]
- [OKActions => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]]
- [Tags => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Tag]]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutCompositeAlarm
Returns: nothing
Creates or updates a composite alarm. When you create a composite alarm, you specify a rule expression for the alarm that takes into account the alarm states of other alarms that you have created. The composite alarm goes into ALARM state only if all conditions of the rule are met.
The alarms specified in a composite alarm's rule expression can include metric alarms and other composite alarms.
Using composite alarms can reduce alarm noise. You can create multiple metric alarms, and also create a composite alarm and set up alerts only for the composite alarm. For example, you could create a composite alarm that goes into ALARM state only when more than one of the underlying metric alarms are in ALARM state.
Currently, the only alarm actions that can be taken by composite alarms are notifying SNS topics.
It is possible to create a loop or cycle of composite alarms, where composite alarm A depends on composite alarm B, and composite alarm B also depends on composite alarm A. In this scenario, you can't delete any composite alarm that is part of the cycle because there is always still a composite alarm that depends on that alarm that you want to delete.
To get out of such a situation, you must break the cycle by changing the rule of one of the composite alarms in the cycle to remove a dependency that creates the cycle. The simplest change to make to break a cycle is to change the AlarmRule
of one of the alarms to False
.
Additionally, the evaluation of composite alarms stops if CloudWatch detects a cycle in the evaluation path.
When this operation creates an alarm, the alarm state is immediately set to INSUFFICIENT_DATA
. The alarm is then evaluated and its state is set appropriately. Any actions associated with the new state are then executed. For a composite alarm, this initial time after creation is the only time that the alarm can be in INSUFFICIENT_DATA
state.
When you update an existing alarm, its state is left unchanged, but the update completely overwrites the previous configuration of the alarm.
If you are an IAM user, you must have iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole
to create a composite alarm that has Systems Manager OpsItem actions.
PutDashboard
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutDashboard
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::PutDashboardOutput instance
Creates a dashboard if it does not already exist, or updates an existing dashboard. If you update a dashboard, the entire contents are replaced with what you specify here.
All dashboards in your account are global, not region-specific.
A simple way to create a dashboard using PutDashboard
is to copy an existing dashboard. To copy an existing dashboard using the console, you can load the dashboard and then use the View/edit source command in the Actions menu to display the JSON block for that dashboard. Another way to copy a dashboard is to use GetDashboard
, and then use the data returned within DashboardBody
as the template for the new dashboard when you call PutDashboard
.
When you create a dashboard with PutDashboard
, a good practice is to add a text widget at the top of the dashboard with a message that the dashboard was created by script and should not be changed in the console. This message could also point console users to the location of the DashboardBody
script or the CloudFormation template used to create the dashboard.
PutInsightRule
- RuleDefinition => Str
- RuleName => Str
- [RuleState => Str]
- [Tags => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Tag]]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutInsightRule
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::PutInsightRuleOutput instance
Creates a Contributor Insights rule. Rules evaluate log events in a CloudWatch Logs log group, enabling you to find contributor data for the log events in that log group. For more information, see Using Contributor Insights to Analyze High-Cardinality Data (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/ContributorInsights.html).
If you create a rule, delete it, and then re-create it with the same name, historical data from the first time the rule was created might not be available.
PutMetricAlarm
- AlarmName => Str
- ComparisonOperator => Str
- EvaluationPeriods => Int
- [ActionsEnabled => Bool]
- [AlarmActions => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]]
- [AlarmDescription => Str]
- [DatapointsToAlarm => Int]

- [Tags => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Tag]]
- [Threshold => Num]
- [ThresholdMetricId => Str]
- [TreatMissingData => 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 metric, metric math expression, or anomaly detection model.
Alarms based on anomaly detection models cannot have Auto Scaling actions.
When this operation creates an alarm, the alarm state is immediately set to INSUFFICIENT_DATA
. The alarm is then evaluated and its state is set appropriately. Any actions associated with the new state are then executed.
When you update an existing alarm, its state is left unchanged, but the update completely overwrites the previous configuration of the alarm.
If you are an IAM user, you must have Amazon EC2 permissions for some alarm operations:
The
iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole
for all alarms with EC2 actionsThe
iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole
to create an alarm with Systems Manager OpsItem actions.
The first time you create an alarm in the AWS Management Console, the CLI, or by using the PutMetricAlarm API, CloudWatch creates the necessary service-linked role for you. The service-linked roles are called AWSServiceRoleForCloudWatchEvents
and AWSServiceRoleForCloudWatchAlarms_ActionSSM
. For more information, see AWS service-linked role (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_terms-and-concepts.html#iam-term-service-linked-role).
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. CloudWatch associates the data points with the specified metric. If the specified metric does not exist, CloudWatch creates the metric. When CloudWatch creates a metric, it can take up to fifteen minutes for the metric to appear in calls to ListMetrics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_ListMetrics.html).
You can publish either individual data points in the Value
field, or arrays of values and the number of times each value occurred during the period by using the Values
and Counts
fields in the MetricDatum
structure. Using the Values
and Counts
method enables you to publish up to 150 values per metric with one PutMetricData
request, and supports retrieving percentile statistics on this data.
Each PutMetricData
request is limited to 40 KB in size for HTTP POST requests. You can send a payload compressed by gzip. Each request is also limited to no more than 20 different metrics.
Although the Value
parameter accepts numbers of type Double
, CloudWatch rejects values that are either too small or too large. Values must be in the range of -2^360 to 2^360. In addition, special values (for example, NaN, +Infinity, -Infinity) are not supported.
You can use up to 10 dimensions per metric to further clarify what data the metric collects. Each dimension consists of a Name and Value pair. For more information about specifying dimensions, see Publishing Metrics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/publishingMetrics.html) in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
You specify the time stamp to be associated with each data point. You can specify time stamps that are as much as two weeks before the current date, and as much as 2 hours after the current day and time.
Data points with time stamps from 24 hours ago or longer can take at least 48 hours to become available for GetMetricData (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricData.html) or GetMetricStatistics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html) from the time they are submitted. Data points with time stamps between 3 and 24 hours ago can take as much as 2 hours to become available for for GetMetricData (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricData.html) or GetMetricStatistics (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html).
CloudWatch needs raw data points to calculate percentile statistics. If you publish data using a statistic set instead, you can only retrieve percentile statistics for this data if one of the following conditions is true:
The
SampleCount
value of the statistic set is 1 andMin
,Max
, andSum
are all equal.The
Min
andMax
are equal, andSum
is equal toMin
multiplied bySampleCount
.
PutMetricStream
- FirehoseArn => Str
- Name => Str
- OutputFormat => Str
- RoleArn => Str
- [ExcludeFilters => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::MetricStreamFilter]]
- [IncludeFilters => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::MetricStreamFilter]]
- [Tags => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Tag]]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::PutMetricStream
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::PutMetricStreamOutput instance
Creates or updates a metric stream. Metric streams can automatically stream CloudWatch metrics to AWS destinations including Amazon S3 and to many third-party solutions.
For more information, see Using Metric Streams (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Metric-Streams.html).
To create a metric stream, you must be logged on to an account that has the iam:PassRole
permission and either the CloudWatchFullAccess
policy or the cloudwatch:PutMetricStream
permission.
When you create or update a metric stream, you choose one of the following:
Stream metrics from all metric namespaces in the account.
Stream metrics from all metric namespaces in the account, except for the namespaces that you list in
ExcludeFilters
.Stream metrics from only the metric namespaces that you list in
IncludeFilters
.
When you use PutMetricStream
to create a new metric stream, the stream is created in the running
state. If you use it to update an existing stream, the state of the stream is not changed.
SetAlarmState
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::SetAlarmState
Returns: nothing
Temporarily sets the state of an alarm for testing purposes. When the updated state 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 state to ALARM
sends an SNS message.
Metric alarms returns to their actual state quickly, often within seconds. Because the metric alarm state change happens quickly, it is typically only visible in the alarm's History tab in the Amazon CloudWatch console or through DescribeAlarmHistory (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeAlarmHistory.html).
If you use SetAlarmState
on a composite alarm, the composite alarm is not guaranteed to return to its actual state. It returns to its actual state only once any of its children alarms change state. It is also reevaluated if you update its configuration.
If an alarm triggers EC2 Auto Scaling policies or application Auto Scaling policies, you must include information in the StateReasonData
parameter to enable the policy to take the correct action.
StartMetricStreams
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::StartMetricStreams
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::StartMetricStreamsOutput instance
Starts the streaming of metrics for one or more of your metric streams.
StopMetricStreams
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::StopMetricStreams
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::StopMetricStreamsOutput instance
Stops the streaming of metrics for one or more of your metric streams.
TagResource
- ResourceARN => Str
- Tags => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::Tag]
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::TagResource
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::TagResourceOutput instance
Assigns one or more tags (key-value pairs) to the specified CloudWatch resource. Currently, the only CloudWatch resources that can be tagged are alarms and Contributor Insights rules.
Tags can help you organize and categorize your resources. You can also use them to scope user permissions by granting a user permission to access or change only resources with certain tag values.
Tags don't have any semantic meaning to AWS and are interpreted strictly as strings of characters.
You can use the TagResource
action with an alarm that already has tags. If you specify a new tag key for the alarm, this tag is appended to the list of tags associated with the alarm. If you specify a tag key that is already associated with the alarm, the new tag value that you specify replaces the previous value for that tag.
You can associate as many as 50 tags with a CloudWatch resource.
UntagResource
Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatch::UntagResource
Returns: a Paws::CloudWatch::UntagResourceOutput instance
Removes one or more tags from the specified resource.
PAGINATORS
Paginator methods are helpers that repetively call methods that return partial results
DescribeAllAlarmHistory(sub { },[AlarmName => Str, AlarmTypes => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], EndDate => Str, HistoryItemType => Str, MaxRecords => Int, NextToken => Str, ScanBy => Str, StartDate => Str])
DescribeAllAlarmHistory([AlarmName => Str, AlarmTypes => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], EndDate => Str, HistoryItemType => Str, MaxRecords => Int, NextToken => Str, ScanBy => Str, StartDate => Str])
If passed a sub as first parameter, it will call the sub for each element found in :
- AlarmHistoryItems, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'AlarmHistoryItems' as the second parameter
If not, it will return a a Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmHistoryOutput instance with all the param
s; from all the responses. Please take into account that this mode can potentially consume vasts ammounts of memory.
DescribeAllAlarms(sub { },[ActionPrefix => Str, AlarmNamePrefix => Str, AlarmNames => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], AlarmTypes => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], ChildrenOfAlarmName => Str, MaxRecords => Int, NextToken => Str, ParentsOfAlarmName => Str, StateValue => Str])
DescribeAllAlarms([ActionPrefix => Str, AlarmNamePrefix => Str, AlarmNames => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], AlarmTypes => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], ChildrenOfAlarmName => Str, MaxRecords => Int, NextToken => Str, ParentsOfAlarmName => Str, StateValue => Str])
If passed a sub as first parameter, it will call the sub for each element found in :
- MetricAlarms, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'MetricAlarms' as the second parameter
- CompositeAlarms, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'CompositeAlarms' as the second parameter
If not, it will return a a Paws::CloudWatch::DescribeAlarmsOutput instance with all the param
s; andparam
s; from all the responses. Please take into account that this mode can potentially consume vasts ammounts of memory.
GetAllMetricData(sub { },EndTime => Str, MetricDataQueries => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::MetricDataQuery], StartTime => Str, [LabelOptions => Paws::CloudWatch::LabelOptions, MaxDatapoints => Int, NextToken => Str, ScanBy => Str])
GetAllMetricData(EndTime => Str, MetricDataQueries => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::MetricDataQuery], StartTime => Str, [LabelOptions => Paws::CloudWatch::LabelOptions, MaxDatapoints => Int, NextToken => Str, ScanBy => Str])
If passed a sub as first parameter, it will call the sub for each element found in :
- MetricDataResults, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'MetricDataResults' as the second parameter
- Messages, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'Messages' as the second parameter
If not, it will return a a Paws::CloudWatch::GetMetricDataOutput instance with all the param
s; andparam
s; from all the responses. Please take into account that this mode can potentially consume vasts ammounts of memory.
ListAllDashboards(sub { },[DashboardNamePrefix => Str, NextToken => Str])
ListAllDashboards([DashboardNamePrefix => Str, NextToken => Str])
If passed a sub as first parameter, it will call the sub for each element found in :
- DashboardEntries, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'DashboardEntries' as the second parameter
If not, it will return a a Paws::CloudWatch::ListDashboardsOutput instance with all the param
s; from all the responses. Please take into account that this mode can potentially consume vasts ammounts of memory.
ListAllMetrics(sub { },[Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::DimensionFilter], MetricName => Str, Namespace => Str, NextToken => Str, RecentlyActive => Str])
ListAllMetrics([Dimensions => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatch::DimensionFilter], MetricName => Str, Namespace => Str, NextToken => Str, RecentlyActive => Str])
If passed a sub as first parameter, it will call the sub for each element found in :
- Metrics, passing the object as the first parameter, and the string 'Metrics' as the second parameter
If not, it will return a a Paws::CloudWatch::ListMetricsOutput instance with all the param
s; from all the responses. Please take into account that this mode can potentially consume vasts ammounts of memory.
