aws cloudwatch list-metrics
List the specified metrics. You can use the returned metrics with GetMetricData or GetMetricStatistics 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 or GetMetricStatistics. 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 or GetMetricStatistics
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--namespace <string> | The metric namespace to filter against. Only the namespace that matches exactly will be returned |
--metric-name <string> | The name of the metric to filter against. Only the metrics with names that match exactly will be returned |
--dimensions <list> | The dimensions to filter against. Only the dimensions that match exactly will be returned |
--next-token <string> | The token returned by a previous call to indicate that there is more data available |
--recently-active <string> | To filter the results to show only metrics that have had data points published in the past three hours, specify this parameter with a value of PT3H. This is the only valid value for this parameter. The results that are returned are an approximation of the value you specify. There is a low probability that the returned results include metrics with last published data as much as 40 minutes more than the specified time interval |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--starting-token <string> | A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response. For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide |
--max-items <integer> | The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI. For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
