mon-put-data Command

Add metric data points to a metric.

	Note
	The mon-list-metrics command can take up to two minutes to report data points added by calls to mon-put-data. The Query API equivalent ListMetrics, however, can take up to fifteen minutes.

SYNOPSIS
mon-put-data
--metric-name  value[,value...]  --namespace  value [--dimensions 
"key1=value1,key2=value2..." ] [--statisticValues 
"key1=value1,key2=value2..." ] [--timestamp  value[,value...] ] [--unit 
value[,value...] ] [--value  value[,value...] ]  [General Options]

DESCRIPTION
This call will put time-series data, for either the raw value  or valid
statistic values of a given MetricName.  It supports the input of a single
datapoint at a time.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-d, --dimensions "key1=value1,key2=value2..." 
Dimensions (one or more) along which metric data can be uniquely
identified.

-m, --metric-name VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
The name of the Metric to be gathered. Required.

-n, --namespace VALUE
The namespace the given Metric is valid in. Required.

-s, --statisticValues "key1=value1,key2=value2..." 
The statistics to be provided for the given metric. Valid key values are:
SampleCount, Sum, Maximum, and Minimum.  All these values need to be
specified for a valid call.

-t, --timestamp VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
The timestamp of the datapoint. For example, 2009-11-25T19:00:00+00:00.
Timestamp will be rounded down to the nearest minute. The dateTime type
uses ISO 8601. The default for this is the time that this command was
executed.

-u, --unit VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
The unit that the metric is being reported in.  Valid unit values are
Seconds, Bytes, Bits, Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Bits/Second,
Count/Second, None.

-v, --value VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
The value of the metric datum being put in.


GENERAL OPTIONS
--aws-credential-file VALUE
Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

-C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
Location of your EC2 certificate file. This value can be set by using the
environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

--connection-timeout VALUE
Specify a connection timeout VALUE (in seconds). The default value is
'30'.

--delimiter VALUE
What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

--headers
If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

-I, --access-key-id VALUE
Specify VALUE as the AWS Access Id to use.

-K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
Location of your EC2 private key file. This value can be set by using the
environment variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

--region VALUE
Specify region VALUE as the web service region to use. This value can be
set by using the environment variable 'EC2_REGION'.

-S, --secret-key VALUE
Specify VALUE as the AWS Secret Key to use.

--show-empty-fields
Show empty fields using "(nil)" as a placeholder to indicate that this data was
not requested. Empty fields are not shown by default.

--show-request
Displays the URL the tools used to call the AWS Service. The default
value is 'false'.

--show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
Specify how the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long), xml, or
no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
by a character. The xml is the raw return from the service, while quiet
suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

-U, --url VALUE
This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
value can be set by using the environment variable 'AWS_CLOUDWATCH_URL'.


INPUT EXAMPLES

This puts statistic data for "RequestCount" in the "MyService" namespace. 
The metric contains no dimensions and so represents the overall RequestCount
across the entire service.  The measurement is a pre-aggregated
statisticValue representing five earlier measurements whose maximum was 70,
minimum was 30 and sum was 250.

$PROMPT>mon-put-data --metric-name RequestCount --namespace "MyService" --timestamp 2009-11-25T00:00:00.000Z --statisticValues "Sum=250,Minimum=30,Maximum=70,SampleCount=5"


This puts user-specific "RequestCount" test data in the "MyService"
namespace.  The user and stack name are stored as dimensions in order to
distinguish this metric from the service-wide metric in the example above.

$PROMPT>mon-put-data --metric-name RequestCount --namespace "MyService" --dimensions "User=SomeUser,Stack=Test" --timestamp 2009-11-25T00:00:00.000Z --value 50
