EC2 instance data can be filtered along any of the following dimensions in the table below.
| Dimension | Section |
|---|---|
| ImageId | This dimension filters the data you request for all instances running this EC2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI). |
| AutoScalingGroupName | This dimension filters the data you request for all instances in a specified capacity group. An AutoScalingGroup is a collection of instances defined by customers of the Auto Scaling service. This dimension is only available for EC2 metrics when the instances are in such an AutoScalingGroup. |
| InstanceId | This dimension filters the data you request for only the identified instance. This allows a user to pinpoint an exact instance from which to monitor data. |
| InstanceType | This dimension filters the data you request for all instances running with this specified instance type. This allows a user to categorize his data by the type of instance running. For example, a user might compare data from an m1.small instance and an m1.large instance to determine which has the better business value for his application. |
Load Balancing Service data can be aggregated along any of the following dimensions shown in the table below.
| Load Balancing Metrics | Section |
|---|---|
| LoadBalancerName | This dimension filters the data you request for the specified LoadBalancer name. A LoadBalancer is represented by a DNS name and provides the single destination to which all requests intended for your application should be directed. This metric allows you to examine data from all instances connected to a single LoadBalancer. |
| AvailabilityZone | This dimension filters the data you request for all instances running in that EC2 Availability Zone. |
