Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("https://monitoring.us-east-1.amazonaws.com").
|
void |
setRegion(Region region)
An alternative to
setEndpoint(String) , sets the
regional endpoint for this client's service calls. |
void |
shutdown()
Shuts down this client object, releasing any resources that might be held
open.
|
void setEndpoint(String endpoint) throws IllegalArgumentException
Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "monitoring.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full
URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://monitoring.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). If the
protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's
ClientConfiguration
will be used, which by default is HTTPS.
For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=3912
This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.
endpoint
- The endpoint (ex: "monitoring.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL,
including the protocol (ex: "https://monitoring.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") of
the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate
with.IllegalArgumentException
- If any problems are detected with the specified endpoint.void setRegion(Region region) throws IllegalArgumentException
setEndpoint(String)
, sets the
regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this
method to control which AWS region they want to work with.
By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol.
To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration
supplied at construction.
This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.
region
- The region this client will communicate with. See
Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions)
for
accessing a given region.IllegalArgumentException
- If the given region is null, or if this service isn't
available in the given region. See
Region.isServiceSupported(String)
Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions)
,
Region.createClient(Class, com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentialsProvider, ClientConfiguration)
void putMetricAlarm(PutMetricAlarmRequest putMetricAlarmRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Creates or updates an alarm and associates it with the specified Amazon CloudWatch metric. Optionally, this operation can associate one or more Amazon Simple Notification Service resources with the alarm.
When this operation creates an alarm, the alarm state is immediately
set to INSUFFICIENT_DATA
. The alarm is evaluated and
its StateValue
is set appropriately. Any actions
associated with the StateValue
is then executed.
NOTE: When updating an existing alarm, its StateValue is left unchanged.
putMetricAlarmRequest
- Container for the necessary parameters to
execute the PutMetricAlarm service method on AmazonCloudWatch.LimitExceededException
AmazonClientException
- If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while
attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example
if a network connection is not available.AmazonServiceException
- If an error response is returned by AmazonCloudWatch indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.void putMetricData(PutMetricDataRequest putMetricDataRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Publishes metric data points to Amazon CloudWatch. Amazon Cloudwatch associates the data points with the specified metric. If the specified metric does not exist, Amazon CloudWatch creates the metric.
NOTE: If you create a metric with the PutMetricData action, allow up to fifteen minutes for the metric to appear in calls to the ListMetrics action.
The size of a PutMetricData request is limited to 8 KB for HTTP GET requests and 40 KB for HTTP POST requests.
IMPORTANT: Although the Value parameter accepts numbers of type Double, Amazon CloudWatch truncates values with very large exponents. Values with base-10 exponents greater than 126 (1 x 10^126) are truncated. Likewise, values with base-10 exponents less than -130 (1 x 10^-130) are also truncated.
putMetricDataRequest
- Container for the necessary parameters to
execute the PutMetricData service method on AmazonCloudWatch.InvalidParameterValueException
InternalServiceException

AmazonClientException
- If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while
attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example
if a network connection is not available.AmazonServiceException
- If an error response is returned by AmazonCloudWatch indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.ListMetricsResult listMetrics(ListMetricsRequest listMetricsRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Returns a list of valid metrics stored for the AWS account owner.
Returned metrics can be used with GetMetricStatistics
to
obtain statistical data for a given metric.
NOTE: Up to 500 results are returned for any one call. To retrieve further results, use returned NextToken values with subsequent ListMetrics operations.
NOTE: If you create a metric with the PutMetricData action, allow up to fifteen minutes for the metric to appear in calls to the ListMetrics action.
listMetricsRequest
- Container for the necessary parameters to
execute the ListMetrics service method on AmazonCloudWatch.InternalServiceException
InvalidParameterValueException
AmazonClientException
- If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while
attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example
if a network connection is not available.AmazonServiceException
- If an error response is returned by AmazonCloudWatch indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.GetMetricStatisticsResult getMetricStatistics(GetMetricStatisticsRequest getMetricStatisticsRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Gets statistics for the specified metric.
NOTE: The maximum number of data points returned from a single GetMetricStatistics request is 1,440. If a request is made that generates more than 1,440 data points, Amazon CloudWatch returns an error. In such a case, alter the request by narrowing the specified time range or increasing the specified period. Alternatively, make multiple requests across adjacent time ranges.
Amazon CloudWatch aggregates data points based on the length of the
period
that you specify. For example, if you request
statistics with a one-minute granularity, Amazon CloudWatch aggregates
data points with time stamps that fall within the same one-minute
period. In such a case, the data points queried can greatly outnumber
the data points returned.
NOTE: The maximum number of data points that can be queried is 50,850; whereas the maximum number of data points returned is 1,440.
The following examples show various statistics allowed by the data
point query maximum of 50,850 when you call
GetMetricStatistics
on Amazon EC2 instances with detailed
(one-minute) monitoring enabled:
