Querying Time Series Data

Function

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

URI

POST /v2/{project_id}/samples

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

fill_value

No

String

Value filled for breakpoints in time series 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.

Request Parameters

Table 3 Request header parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

X-Auth-Token

Yes

String

User token obtained from IAM.

Content-Type

Yes

String

Content type, which is application/json.

X-Aom-Prometheus-Id

No

String

Prometheus instance ID. If this parameter is left blank, the default Prometheus instance is used.

Table 4 Request body parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

samples

Yes

Array of QuerySample objects

List of time series objects. A JSON array can contain up to 20 objects.

statistics

Yes

Array of strings

Statistic. Values: maximum, minimum, sum, average, and sampleCount.

period

Yes

Integer

Granularity for monitoring data. Enumerated value. Values: 60: The data monitoring granularity is 1 minute. 300: The data monitoring granularity is 5 minutes. 900: The data monitoring granularity is 15 minutes. 3600: The data monitoring granularity is 1 hour.

time_range

Yes

String

Time range specified to query data of the last N minutes when the client time is inconsistent with the server time. It can also be used to accurately query the data of a specified period.

Example:

-1.-1.60: indicates that the data of the latest 60 minutes is queried. This query is based on the server time regardless of the current client time.

1650852000000.1650852300000.5: indicates the five minutes from 10:00:00 to 10:05:00 on April 25, 2022 GMT+08:00.

Format:

startTimeInMillis.endTimeInMillis.durationInMinutes

Parameter description:

startTimeInMillis: Start time of the query, in milliseconds. If this parameter is set to -1, the server calculates the start time as follows: endTimeInMillis – durationInMinutes x 60 x 1000. For example, -1.1650852300000.5 is equivalent to 1650852000000.1650852300000.5.

endTimeInMillis: End time of the query, in milliseconds. If this parameter is set to -1, the server calculates the end time as follows: startTimeInMillis + durationInMinutes x 60 x 1000. If the calculated end time is later than the current system time, the current system time is used. For example, 1650852000000.-1.5 is equivalent to 1650852000000.1650852300000.5.

durationInMinutes: Time span, in minutes. The value must be greater than 0 and greater than or equal to the result of "(endTimeInMillis – startTimeInMillis)/(60 x 1000) – 1". If both the start time and end time are set to -1, the system sets the end time to the current UTC time (in milliseconds) and calculates the start time as follows: endTimeInMillis – durationInMinutes x 60 x 1000. For example, -1.-1.60 indicates the latest 60 minutes.

Constraint:

In a single request, the following condition must be met: durationInMinutes x 60/period ≤ 1440
