Request Syntax

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

  • MetricTypes (list) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The types of metrics to return in the response. Valid values in the array include the following:

    • os (OS counter metrics) - All engines

    • db (DB load metrics) - All engines except for Amazon DocumentDB

    • db.sql.stats (per-SQL metrics) - All engines except for Amazon DocumentDB

    • db.sql_tokenized.stats (per-SQL digest metrics) - All engines except for Amazon DocumentDB

    • (string) – A generic string type that forbids characters that could expose our service (or services downstream) to security risks around injections.

  • 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.

  • MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of items to return. If the MaxRecords value is less than the number of existing items, the response includes a pagination token.

Return type:

dict
