Querying Desktop Monitoring Data

Function

Queries data (such as the CPU usage, memory usage, and period when a user is online) of a desktop in a time range (from 1 hour to 30 days). The data can be retained for up to 180 days.

Debugging

You can debug this API through automatic authentication in API Explorer or use the SDK sample code generated by API Explorer.

Authorization Information

Each account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions.

If you are using role/policy-based authorization, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions for details on the required permissions.

If you are using identity policy-based authorization, the following identity policy-based permissions are required.

Action	Access Level	Resource Type (*: required)	Condition Key	Alias	Dependencies
workspace:desktops:getMonitor	Read	desktop *	g:ResourceTag/<tag-key> g:EnterpriseProjectId	-	ces:metricData:get
