man mon-get-stats (1): Get metric statistics

SYNOPSIS

mon-get-stats
     MetricName  --namespace  value  --statistics  value[,value...]
    [--dimensions  "key1=value1,key2=value2..." ] [--end-time  value ]
    [--period  value ] [--start-time  value ] [--unit  value ]
     [General Options]

DESCRIPTION

This call will get time-series data for one or more statistics of a given
MetricName.

ARGUMENTS

MetricName
The metric name that corresponds to one contained in the gathered Metric.
You can also set this value using "--metric-name". Required.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

-d, --dimensions "key1=value1,key2=value2..."
    Dimensions (one or more) along which the metric data was originally
    stored. If no dimensions are specified, then the statistics belonging to
    the specified non-dimensional metric will be returned.

--end-time VALUE
    The timestamp of the last datapoint to return, inclusive. For example,
    2009-11-25T19:00:00+00:00Z. Timestamp will be rounded down to the nearest
    minute.The dateTime type uses ISO 8601 (UTC). The default for this is
    now.

-n, --namespace VALUE
The namespace of the desired metric. This must match the namespace that
was specified when the desired metric was initially reported. Required.

-p, --period VALUE
    The granularity (in seconds) of the returned datapoints. Period must be
    at least 60 seconds and must be a multiple of 60. The default is 60
    seconds.

-s, --statistics VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
The statistics to be returned for the desired metric. Valid values are:
Average, Sum, SampleCount, Maximum, or Minimum. Required.

--start-time VALUE
    The timestamp of the first datapoint to return, inclusive. For example,
    2009-11-25T19:00:00+00:00Z. Timestamp will be rounded down to the nearest
    minute. The dateTime type uses ISO 8601 (UTC). The default for this is 1
    hour in the past.

-u, --unit VALUE
    The unit that the metric was reported in.  Valid unit values are Seconds,
    Bytes, Bits, Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Bits/Second, Count/Second,
    None.

GENERAL OPTIONS

--aws-credential-file VALUE
Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

-C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
Location of your EC2 certificate file. This value can be set by using the
environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

--connection-timeout VALUE
Specify a connection timeout VALUE (in seconds). The default value is
'30'.

--delimiter VALUE
What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

--headers
    If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
    column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
    headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

-I, --access-key-id VALUE
Specify VALUE as the AWS Access Id to use.

-K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
Location of your EC2 private key file. This value can be set by using the
environment variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

--region VALUE
Specify region VALUE as the web service region to use. This value can be
set by using the environment variable 'EC2_REGION'.

-S, --secret-key VALUE
Specify VALUE as the AWS Secret Key to use.

--show-empty-fields
Show empty fields and rows, using a "(nil)" value. The default is to not
show empty fields or columns.

--show-request
Displays the URL the tools used to call the AWS Service. The default
value is 'false'.

--show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
    Specify how the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long), xml, or
    no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
    column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
    by a character. The xml is the raw return from the service, while quiet
    suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

-U, --url VALUE
This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
value can be set by using the environment variable 'AWS_CLOUDWATCH_URL'.

INPUT EXAMPLES

This returns the average, min, and max CPU utilization for EC2 instance
i-c07704a9, at 1 hour resolution.

$PROMPT>mon-get-stats CPUUtilization --start-time 2009-02-14T23:00:00.000Z --end-time 2009-03-14T23:00:00.000Z --period 3600 --statistics "Average,Minimum,Maximum" --namespace "AWS/EC2" --dimensions "InstanceId=i-c07704a9"

This returns CPU utilization across your EC2 fleet.

$PROMPT2>mon-get-stats CPUUtilization --start-time 2009-02-14T23:00:00.000Z --end-time 2009-03-14T23:00:00.000Z --period 3600 --statistics "Average,Minimum,Maximum" --namespace "AWS/EC2"

This returns the average, min, and max Request count made to the test stack
of "MyService" for a particular user, at 1 hour resolution.

$PROMPT>mon-get-stats RequestCount --start-time 2009-11-24T23:00:00.000Z --end-time 2009-11-25T23:00:00.000Z --period 3600 --statistics "Average,Minimum,Maximum" --namespace "MyService" --dimensions "User=SomeUser,Stack=Test"

This shows RequestCount statistics across all of "MyService".

$PROMPT2>mon-get-stats RequestCount --start-time 2009-11-24T23:00:00.000Z --end-time 2009-11-25T23:00:00.000Z --period 3600 --statistics "Average,Minimum,Maximum,SampleCount" --namespace "MyService"

OUTPUT

This command returns a table that contains the following:
* Time - Time the metrics were taken.
* SampleCount - No description available for this column.
* Average - Average value.
* Sum - Sum of values.
* Minimum - Minimum observed value.
* Maximum - Maximum observed value.
* Unit - Unit of the metric.

OUTPUT EXAMPLES

This is an example of an output of the Samples and Average metrics at one
minute resolution.
