Options

--name (string)

The name of the metric stream to retrieve information about.

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json
• text
• table
• yaml
• yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on
• off
• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

• base64
• raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input 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 retrieve information about a metric stream

The following get-metric-stream example displays information about the metric stream named QuickFull-GuaFbs in the specified account.

aws cloudwatch get-metric-stream \
    --name QuickFull-GuaFbs

Output:

Output

Arn -> (string)

The ARN of the metric stream.

Name -> (string)

The name of the metric stream.

IncludeFilters -> (list)

If this array of metric namespaces is present, then these namespaces are the only metric namespaces that are streamed by this metric stream.

(structure)

This structure contains a metric namespace and optionally, a list of metric names, to either include in a metric stream or exclude from a metric stream.

A metric stream’s filters can include up to 1000 total names. This limit applies to the sum of namespace names and metric names in the filters. For example, this could include 10 metric namespace filters with 99 metrics each, or 20 namespace filters with 49 metrics specified in each filter.

Namespace -> (string)

The name of the metric namespace for this filter.

The namespace can contain only ASCII printable characters (ASCII range 32 through 126). It must contain at least one non-whitespace character.

MetricNames -> (list)

The names of the metrics to either include or exclude from the metric stream.

If you omit this parameter, all metrics in the namespace are included or excluded, depending on whether this filter is specified as an exclude filter or an include filter.

Each metric name can contain only ASCII printable characters (ASCII range 32 through 126). Each metric name must contain at least one non-whitespace character.

(string)

ExcludeFilters -> (list)

If this array of metric namespaces is present, then these namespaces are the only metric namespaces that are not streamed by this metric stream. In this case, all other metric namespaces in the account are streamed by this metric stream.

The output format for the stream. Valid values are json , opentelemetry1.0 , and opentelemetry0.7 . For more information about metric stream output formats, see Metric streams output formats .

StatisticsConfigurations -> (list)

Each entry in this array displays information about one or more metrics that include additional statistics in the metric stream. For more information about the additional statistics, see CloudWatch statistics definitions .

(structure)

By default, a metric stream always sends the MAX , MIN , SUM , and SAMPLECOUNT statistics for each metric that is streamed. This structure contains information for one metric that includes additional statistics in the stream. For more information about statistics, see CloudWatch, listed in CloudWatch statistics definitions .

IncludeMetrics -> (list)

An array of metric name and namespace pairs that stream the additional statistics listed in the value of the AdditionalStatistics parameter. There can be as many as 100 pairs in the array.

All metrics that match the combination of metric name and namespace will be streamed with the additional statistics, no matter their dimensions.

(structure)

This object contains the information for one metric that is to be streamed with additional statistics.

Namespace -> (string)

The namespace of the metric.

MetricName -> (string)

The name of the metric.

AdditionalStatistics -> (list)

The list of additional statistics that are to be streamed for the metrics listed in the IncludeMetrics array in this structure. This list can include as many as 20 statistics.

If the OutputFormat for the stream is opentelemetry1.0 or opentelemetry0.7 , the only valid values are p*??* `` percentile statistics such as ``p90 , p99 and so on.

If the OutputFormat for the stream is json , the valid values include the abbreviations for all of the statistics listed in CloudWatch statistics definitions . For example, this includes tm98, wm90 , PR(:300) , and so on.

(string)

IncludeLinkedAccountsMetrics -> (boolean)

If this is true and this metric stream is in a monitoring account, then the stream includes metrics from source accounts that the monitoring account is linked to.
