Response Structure

(dict) –
- Arn (string) –
  
  The ARN of the metric stream.
- Name (string) –
  
  The name of the metric stream.
- IncludeFilters (list) –
  
  If this array of metric namespaces is present, then these namespaces are the only metric namespaces that are streamed by this metric stream.
  - (dict) –
    
    This structure contains the name of one of the metric namespaces that is listed in a filter of a metric stream.
    
    The namespace can contain only ASCII printable characters (ASCII range 32 through 126). It must contain at least one non-whitespace character.
    - Namespace (string) –
      
      The name of the metric namespace in the filter.
- ExcludeFilters (list) –
  
  If this array of metric namespaces is present, then these namespaces are the only metric namespaces that are not streamed by this metric stream. In this case, all other metric namespaces in the account are streamed by this metric stream.
  - (dict) –
    
    This structure contains the name of one of the metric namespaces that is listed in a filter of a metric stream.
    
    The namespace can contain only ASCII printable characters (ASCII range 32 through 126). It must contain at least one non-whitespace character.
    - Namespace (string) –
      
      The name of the metric namespace in the filter.
- FirehoseArn (string) –
  
  The ARN of the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that is used by this metric stream.
- RoleArn (string) –
  
  The ARN of the IAM role that is used by this metric stream.
- State (string) –
  
  The state of the metric stream. The possible values are running and stopped.
- CreationDate (datetime) –
  
  The date that the metric stream was created.
- LastUpdateDate (datetime) –
  
  The date of the most recent update to the metric stream’s configuration.
- OutputFormat (string) –
  
  The output format for the stream. Valid values are json and opentelemetry0.7. For more information about metric stream output formats, see Metric streams output formats.
- StatisticsConfigurations (list) –
  
  Each entry in this array displays information about one or more metrics that include additional statistics in the metric stream. For more information about the additional statistics, see CloudWatch statistics definitions.
  - (dict) –
    
    By default, a metric stream always sends the MAX, MIN, SUM, and SAMPLECOUNT statistics for each metric that is streamed. This structure contains information for one metric that includes additional statistics in the stream. For more information about statistics, see CloudWatch, listed in CloudWatch statistics definitions.
    - IncludeMetrics (list) –
      
      An array of metric name and namespace pairs that stream the additional statistics listed in the value of the AdditionalStatistics parameter. There can be as many as 100 pairs in the array.
      
      All metrics that match the combination of metric name and namespace will be streamed with the additional statistics, no matter their dimensions.
      - (dict) –
        
        This object contains the information for one metric that is to be streamed with additional statistics.
        
        Namespace (string) –
        
        The namespace of the metric.
        
        MetricName (string) –
        
        The name of the metric.
    - AdditionalStatistics (list) –
      
      The list of additional statistics that are to be streamed for the metrics listed in the IncludeMetrics array in this structure. This list can include as many as 20 statistics.
      
      If the OutputFormat for the stream is opentelemetry0.7, the only valid values are p?? percentile statistics such as p90, p99 and so on.
      
      If the OutputFormat for the stream is json, the valid values include the abbreviations for all of the statistics listed in CloudWatch statistics definitions. For example, this includes tm98, wm90, PR(:300), and so on.
      - (string) –
- IncludeLinkedAccountsMetrics (boolean) –
  
  If this is true and this metric stream is in a monitoring account, then the stream includes metrics from source accounts that the monitoring account is linked to.
