AWS Performance Insights

Get the attributes of the specified dimension group for a DB instance or data source. For example, if you specify a SQL ID, GetDimensionKeyDetails retrieves the full text of the dimension db.sql.statement associated with this ID. This operation is useful because GetResourceMetrics and DescribeDimensionKeys don't support retrieval of large SQL statement text.

    • (dict) --

      An object that describes the details for a specified dimension.

      • Value (string) --

        The value of the dimension detail data. For the db.sql.statement dimension, this value is either the full or truncated SQL query, depending on the return status.

      • Dimension (string) --

        The full name of the dimension. The full name includes the group name and key name. The only valid value is db.sql.statement.

      • Status (string) --
