Querying Metrics

Function

This API is used to query the metrics that can be monitored in the system. You can query specific metrics by specifying a namespace, metric name, dimension, and resource ID (format: resType_resId). You can also specify the start position and the maximum number of returned records for a pagination query.

namespace	Yes	String	Metric namespace. Values: PAAS.CONTAINER: namespace of component, instance, process, and container metrics. PAAS.NODE: namespace of host, network, disk, and file system metrics. PAAS.SLA: namespace of SLA metrics. PAAS.AGGR: namespace of cluster metrics. CUSTOMMETRICS: default namespace of custom metrics. Enumeration values: PAAS.CONTAINER PAAS.NODE PAAS.SLA PAAS.AGGR CUSTOMMETRICS
