Querying Monitoring Data of Multiple Metrics

Function

You can query the monitoring data of specified metrics within a specified time range and at a specified granularity. You can query the monitoring data of up to 10 metrics in one batch.

URI

POST /V1.0/{project_id}/batch-query-metric-data

Parameter description

**Table 1** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Specifies the project ID. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

Request

The size of a POST request cannot exceed 512 KB. Otherwise, the request will be denied.
The default maximum query intervals of different periods are different.
If period is 1, the maximum interval between from and to is 4 hours. If the interval between from and to is longer than 4 hours, adjust the value of from to to - 4*3600*1000.

If period is 300, the maximum interval between from and to is one day. If the interval between from and to is longer than 1 day, adjust the value of from to to - 24*3600*1000.

If period is 1200, the maximum interval between from and to is three days. If the interval between from and to is longer than three days, adjust the value of from to to - 3*24*3600*1000.

If period is 3600, the maximum interval between from and to is 10 days. If the interval between from and to is longer than 10 days, adjust the value of from to to - 10*24*3600*1000.

If period is 14400, the maximum interval between from and to is 30 days. If the interval between from and to is longer than 30 days, adjust the value of from to to - 30*24*3600*1000.

If period is 86400, the maximum interval between from and to is 180 days. If the interval between from and to is longer than 180 days, adjust the value of from to to - 180*24*3600*1000.

Request parameters

**Table 2** Request parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
metrics	Yes	Array of objects	Specifies the metric data. The maximum length of the array is 10. For details, see Table 3.
from	Yes	Long	Specifies the start time of the query. The time is a UNIX timestamp and the unit is ms. Set from to at least one period earlier than the current time. Rollup aggregates the raw data generated within a period to the start time of the period. If from and to are within a period, the query result will be empty due to the rollup failure. Set from to at least one period earlier than the current time. Take the 5-minute period as an example. If it is 10:35 now, the raw data generated between 10:30 and 10:35 will be aggregated to 10:30. In this example, if period is 5 minutes, from should be 10:30. NOTE: Cloud Eye rounds up from based on the level of granularity required to perform the rollup.
to	Yes	Long	Specifies the end time of the query. The time is a UNIX timestamp and the unit is ms. from must be earlier than to.
period	Yes	String	Specifies how often Cloud Eye aggregates data, which can be 1: Cloud Eye performs no aggregation and displays raw data. 300: Cloud Eye aggregates data every 5 minutes. 1200: Cloud Eye aggregates data every 20 minutes. 3600: Cloud Eye aggregates data every hour. 14400: Cloud Eye aggregates data every 4 hours. 86400: Cloud Eye aggregates data every 24 hours.
filter	Yes	String	Specifies the data rollup method, which can be average: Cloud Eye calculates the average value of metric data within a rollup period. max: Cloud Eye calculates the maximum value of metric data within a rollup period. min: Cloud Eye calculates the minimum value of metric data within a rollup period. sum: Cloud Eye calculates the sum of metric data within a rollup period. variance: Cloud Eye calculates the variance value of metric data within a rollup period. filter does not affect the query result of raw data. (The period is 1.)

**Table 3** **metrics** data structure description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
namespace	Yes	String	Specifies the metric namespace, which must be in the service.item format and contain 3 to 32 characters. service and item each must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, and underscores (_).
dimensions	Yes	Array of objects	Specifies metric dimensions. dimensions is an array consisting of a maximum of four JSON objects. One dimension is a JSON object, and its structure is as follows: { "name": "instance_id", "value": "33328f02-3814-422e-b688-bfdba93d4050" } For details, see Table 4.
metric_name	Yes	String	Specifies the metric name. Start with a letter. Enter 1 to 64 characters. Only letters, digits, and underscores (_) are allowed.

**Table 4** **dimensions** data structure description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Specifies the dimension. For example, the ECS dimension is instance_id, which is listed in the key column in Dimension. Start with a letter. Enter 1 to 32 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.
value	Yes	String	Specifies the dimension value, for example, an ECS ID. Start with a letter or a digit. Enter 1 to 256 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.

dimensions can be obtained from the response body by calling the API for Querying Metrics.
OBS metric data can be queried only when the related OBS APIs are called.
