PI.Client¶A low-level client representing AWS Performance Insights (PI)
Amazon RDS Performance Insights enables you to monitor and explore different dimensions of database load based on data captured from a running DB instance. The guide provides detailed information about Performance Insights data types, parameters and errors.
When Performance Insights is enabled, the Amazon RDS Performance Insights API provides visibility into the performance of your DB instance. Amazon CloudWatch provides the authoritative source for Amazon Web Services service-vended monitoring metrics. Performance Insights offers a domain-specific view of DB load.
DB load is measured as average active sessions. Performance Insights provides the data to API consumers as a two-dimensional time-series dataset. The time dimension provides DB load data for each time point in the queried time range. Each time point decomposes overall load in relation to the requested dimensions, measured at that time point. Examples include SQL, Wait event, User, and Host.

operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the
create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the
call client.get_paginator("create_foo").True if the operation can be paginated,
False otherwise.close()¶Closes underlying endpoint connections.
describe_dimension_keys(**kwargs)¶For a specific time period, retrieve the top N dimension keys for a metric.
Note
Each response element returns a maximum of 500 bytes. For larger elements, such as SQL statements, only the first 500 bytes are returned.

[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Web Services service for which Performance Insights will return metrics. Valid values are as follows:
RDSDOCDB[REQUIRED]
An immutable, Amazon Web Services Region-unique identifier for a data source. Performance Insights gathers metrics from this data source.
To use an Amazon RDS instance as a data source, you specify its DbiResourceId value. For example, specify db-FAIHNTYBKTGAUSUZQYPDS2GW4A .
[REQUIRED]
The date and time specifying the beginning of the requested time series data. You must specify a StartTime within the past 7 days. The value specified is inclusive , which means that data points equal to or greater than StartTime are returned.
The value for StartTime must be earlier than the value for EndTime .
[REQUIRED]
The date and time specifying the end of the requested time series data. The value specified is exclusive , which means that data points less than (but not equal to) EndTime are returned.
The value for EndTime must be later than the value for StartTime .
[REQUIRED]
The name of a Performance Insights metric to be measured.
Valid values for Metric are:
db.load.avg - A scaled representation of the number of active sessions for the database engine.db.sampledload.avg - The raw number of active sessions for the database engine.If the number of active sessions is less than an internal Performance Insights threshold, db.load.avg and db.sampledload.avg are the same value. If the number of active sessions is greater than the internal threshold, Performance Insights samples the active sessions, with db.load.avg showing the scaled values, db.sampledload.avg showing the raw values, and db.sampledload.avg less than db.load.avg . For most use cases, you can query db.load.avg only.
The granularity, in seconds, of the data points returned from Performance Insights. A period can be as short as one second, or as long as one day (86400 seconds). Valid values are:
1 (one second)60 (one minute)300 (five minutes)3600 (one hour)86400 (twenty-four hours)If you don't specify PeriodInSeconds , then Performance Insights chooses a value for you, with a goal of returning roughly 100-200 data points in the response.

RDSDOCDB[REQUIRED]
An immutable identifier for a data source that is unique for an Amazon Web Services Region. Performance Insights gathers metrics from this data source. In the console, the identifier is shown as ResourceID . When you call DescribeDBInstances , the identifier is returned as DbiResourceId .
To use a DB instance as a data source, specify its DbiResourceId value. For example, specify db-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU1VW2X .
[REQUIRED]
An array of one or more queries to perform. Each query must specify a Performance Insights metric, and can optionally specify aggregation and filtering criteria.
