Querying Monitoring Data

Function

This API is used to query monitoring data of metrics within a specified time period. You can specify a dimension or period to query.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/ams/metricdata

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID obtained from IAM. Generally, a project ID contains 32 characters.

**Table 2** Query Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
fillValue	No	String	Value filled for breakpoints in monitoring data. Default value: –1. –1: Breakpoints are filled with –1. 0: Breakpoints are filled with 0. null: Breakpoints are filled with null. average: Breakpoints are filled with the average value of the adjacent valid data. If there is no valid data, breakpoints are filled with null. Enumeration values: -1 0 null average
