type ServiceType

string

param ServiceType

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Web Services service for which Performance Insights returns metrics.

type Identifier

string

param Identifier

[REQUIRED]

An immutable identifier for a data source that is unique within an Amazon Web Services Region. Performance Insights gathers metrics from this data source. To use an Amazon RDS DB instance as a data source, specify its DbiResourceId value. For example, specify db-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU1VWZ .

type Metrics

list

param Metrics

[REQUIRED]

The types of metrics for which to retrieve dimensions. Valid values include db.load .

• (string) -- A generic string type that forbids characters that could expose our service (or services downstream) to security risks around injections.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum number of items to return in the response. If more items exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the token, up to the value specified by MaxRecords .

type AuthorizedActions

list

param AuthorizedActions

The actions to discover the dimensions you are authorized to access. If you specify multiple actions, then the response will contain the dimensions common for all the actions.

When you don't specify this request parameter or provide an empty list, the response contains all the available dimensions for the target database engine whether or not you are authorized to access them.
