PI.Client.get_resource_metrics(**kwargs)¶Retrieve Performance Insights metrics for a set of data sources over a time period. You can provide specific dimension groups and dimensions, and provide aggregation and filtering criteria for each group.
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 returns metrics. Valid values are as follows:
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.
A single query to be processed. You must provide the metric to query. If no other parameters are specified, Performance Insights returns all data points for the specified metric. Optionally, you can request that the data points be aggregated by dimension group ( GroupBy ), and return only those data points that match your criteria ( Filter ).
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.
A specification for how to aggregate the data points from a query result. You must specify a valid dimension group. Performance Insights will return all of the dimensions within that group, unless you provide the names of specific dimensions within that group. You can also request that Performance Insights return a limited number of values for a dimension.
The name of the dimension group. Valid values are as follows:
db - The name of the database to which the client is connected. The following values are permitted:db.application - The name of the application that is connected to the database. The following values are permitted:db.host - The host name of the connected client (all engines).db.query - The query that is currently running (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.query_tokenized - The digest query (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.session_type - The type of the current session (only Aurora PostgreSQL and RDS PostgreSQL).db.sql - The text of the SQL statement that is currently running (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.sql_tokenized - The SQL digest (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.user - The user logged in to the database (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_event - The event for which the database backend is waiting (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_event_type - The type of event for which the database backend is waiting (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_state - The event for which the database backend is waiting (only Amazon DocumentDB).A list of specific dimensions from a dimension group. If this parameter is not present, then it signifies that all of the dimensions in the group were requested, or are present in the response.
Valid values for elements in the Dimensions array are:
db.application.name - The name of the application that is connected to the database. Valid values are as follows:db.host.id - The host ID of the connected client (all engines).db.host.name - The host name of the connected client (all engines).db.name - The name of the database to which the client is connected. Valid values are as follows:db.query.id - The query ID generated by Performance Insights (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.query.db_id - The query ID generated by the database (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.query.statement - The text of the query that is being run (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.query.tokenized_iddb.query.tokenized.id - The query digest ID generated by Performance Insights (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.query.tokenized.db_id - The query digest ID generated by Performance Insights (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.query.tokenized.statement - The text of the query digest (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.session_type.name - The type of the current session (only Amazon DocumentDB).db.sql.id - The hash of the full, non-tokenized SQL statement generated by Performance Insights (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.sql.db_id - Either the SQL ID generated by the database engine, or a value generated by Performance Insights that begins with pi- (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.sql.statement - The full text of the SQL statement that is running, as in SELECT * FROM employees (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB)db.sql.tokenized_iddb.sql_tokenized.id - The hash of the SQL digest generated by Performance Insights (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB). In the console, db.sql_tokenized.id is called the Support ID because Amazon Web Services Support can look at this data to help you troubleshoot database issues.db.sql_tokenized.db_id - Either the native database ID used to refer to the SQL statement, or a synthetic ID such as pi-2372568224 that Performance Insights generates if the native database ID isn't available (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.sql_tokenized.statement - The text of the SQL digest, as in SELECT * FROM employees WHERE employee_id = ? (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB)db.user.id - The ID of the user logged in to the database (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.user.name - The name of the user logged in to the database (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_event.name - The event for which the backend is waiting (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_event.type - The type of event for which the backend is waiting (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_event_type.name - The name of the event type for which the backend is waiting (all engines except Amazon DocumentDB).db.wait_state.name - The event for which the backend is waiting (only Amazon DocumentDB).The maximum number of items to fetch for this dimension group.
One or more filters to apply in the request. Restrictions:
GroupBy parameter.[REQUIRED]
The date and time specifying the beginning of the requested time series query range. You can't specify a StartTime that is earlier than 7 days ago. By default, Performance Insights has 7 days of retention, but you can extend this range up to 2 years. The value specified is inclusive . Thus, the command returns data points equal to or greater than StartTime .
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 query range. The value specified is exclusive . Thus, the command returns data points less than (but not equal to) EndTime .
The value for EndTime must be later than the value for StartTime .
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 will choose a value for you, with a goal of returning roughly 100-200 data points in the response.
MaxRecords value, a pagination token is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.MaxRecords .END_TIME .dict
