SYNOPSIS
mon-list-metrics
[--dimensions  "key1=value1,key2=value2..." ] [--metric-name  value ]
[--namespace  value ]  [General Options]

DESCRIPTION
This call will get a list of all the metrics that the system is storing for
your AWS account. Note: Any metric not seen for two weeks will be aged out
from this list as that is the retention period for data. Metrics can be
filtered by any combination of MetricName, Namespace or Dimensions.  If any
of these filters is not specified, then all possible matches for the
respective attribute are returned.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-d, --dimensions "key1=value1,key2=value2..." 
Dimensions (one or more) along which the metric names are to be filtered.
If no dimensions are specified then metric names with all possible
dimensions will be included in the results.

-m, --metric-name VALUE
The name of a particular metric that you are interested in.  If not
specified, all possible metric names will be returned.

-n, --namespace VALUE
The namespace along which metrics will be filtered.  If not specified,
metric names from  all possible namespaces will be returned.
