class CloudWatch.Paginator.ListMetrics

paginator = client.get_paginator('list_metrics')

paginate(**kwargs)

Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from CloudWatch.Client.list_metrics().

Request Syntax

response_iterator = paginator.paginate(
    Namespace='string',
    MetricName='string',
    Dimensions=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ],
    RecentlyActive='PT3H',
    IncludeLinkedAccounts=True|False,
    OwningAccount='string',
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,
        'StartingToken': 'string'
    }
)

Parameters:

• Namespace (string) – The metric namespace to filter against. Only the namespace that matches exactly will be returned.

• MetricName (string) – The name of the metric to filter against. Only the metrics with names that match exactly will be returned.

• Dimensions (list) –

  The dimensions to filter against. Only the dimensions that match exactly will be returned.

  • (dict) –

    Represents filters for a dimension.

    • Name (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The dimension name to be matched.

    • Value (string) –

      The value of the dimension to be matched.

• RecentlyActive (string) –

  To filter the results to show only metrics that have had data points published in the past three hours, specify this parameter with a value of PT3H. This is the only valid value for this parameter.

  The results that are returned are an approximation of the value you specify. There is a low probability that the returned results include metrics with last published data as much as 40 minutes more than the specified time interval.

• IncludeLinkedAccounts (boolean) –

  If you are using this operation in a monitoring account, specify true to include metrics from source accounts in the returned data.

  The default is false.

• OwningAccount (string) – When you use this operation in a monitoring account, use this field to return metrics only from one source account. To do so, specify that source account ID in this field, and also specify true for IncludeLinkedAccounts.

• PaginationConfig (dict) –

  A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

  • MaxItems (integer) –

    The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

  • StartingToken (string) –

    A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Structure

• (dict) –

  • Metrics (list) –

    The metrics that match your request.

    • (dict) –

      Represents a specific metric.

      • Namespace (string) –

        The namespace of the metric.

      • MetricName (string) –

        The name of the metric. This is a required field.

      • Dimensions (list) –

        The dimensions for the metric.

        • (dict) –

          A dimension is a name/value pair that is part of the identity of a metric. Because dimensions are part of the unique identifier for a metric, whenever you add a unique name/value pair to one of your metrics, you are creating a new variation of that metric. For example, many Amazon EC2 metrics publish InstanceId as a dimension name, and the actual instance ID as the value for that dimension.

          You can assign up to 30 dimensions to a metric.

          • Name (string) –

            The name of the dimension. Dimension names must contain only ASCII characters, must include at least one non-whitespace character, and cannot start with a colon ( :).

          • Value (string) –

            The value of the dimension. Dimension values must contain only ASCII characters and must include at least one non-whitespace character.

  • OwningAccounts (list) –

    If you are using this operation in a monitoring account, this array contains the account IDs of the source accounts where the metrics in the returned data are from.

    This field is a 1:1 mapping between each metric that is returned and the ID of the owning account.

    • (string) –
