Request Syntax

response = client.list_available_resource_dimensions(
    ServiceType='RDS'|'DOCDB',
    Identifier='string',
    Metrics=[
        'string',
    ],
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string'
)

Parameters

• ServiceType (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The Amazon Web Services service for which Performance Insights returns metrics.

• Identifier (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  An immutable identifier for a data source that is unique within an Amazon Web Services Region. Performance Insights gathers metrics from this data source. To use an Amazon RDS DB instance as a data source, specify its DbiResourceId value. For example, specify db-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU1VWZ .

• Metrics (list) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The types of metrics for which to retrieve dimensions. Valid values include db.load .

  • (string) --
• MaxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of items to return in the response. If more items exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.
• NextToken (string) -- An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the token, up to the value specified by MaxRecords .
