describe-custom-metric

Description

Gets information about a Device Defender detect custom metric.

Requires permission to access the DescribeCustomMetric action.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-custom-metric
--metric-name <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--metric-name (string)

The name of the custom metric.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To get information about a Device Defender custom metric

The following describe-custom-metric example gets information about a custom metric named myCustomMetric.

aws iot describe-custom-metric \
    --metric-name myCustomMetric

Output:

{
    "metricName": "myCustomMetric",
    "metricArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:1234564789012:custommetric/myCustomMetric",
    "metricType": "number",
    "displayName": "My custom metric",
    "creationDate": 2020-11-17T23:02:12.879000-09:00,
    "lastModifiedDate": 2020-11-17T23:02:12.879000-09:00
}

For more information, see Custom metrics in the AWS IoT Core Developer Guide.

Output

metricName -> (string)

The name of the custom metric.

metricArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the custom metric.

metricType -> (string)

The type of the custom metric.

Warning

The type number only takes a single metric value as an input, but while submitting the metrics value in the DeviceMetrics report, it must be passed as an array with a single value.

displayName -> (string)

Field represents a friendly name in the console for the custom metric; doesn’t have to be unique. Don’t use this name as the metric identifier in the device metric report. Can be updated.

creationDate -> (timestamp)

The creation date of the custom metric in milliseconds since epoch.

lastModifiedDate -> (timestamp)

The time the custom metric was last modified in milliseconds since epoch.
