Metrics Query Management APIs

The Metrics Query API allows you to execute queries on various metrics and retrieve multiple time-series (data-points) over time from HTTP endpoints. For information about running a metrics query using the API, see Executing a query in Metrics APIs.

Here is example content for a v1/metricQueries API call:

{
  "queries": [
    {
      "rowId": "A",
      "query": "metric=CPU_Idle",
      "quantization": 60000,
      "rollup": "Avg",
      "timeshift": -3600000
    }
  ],
  "timeRange": {
    "type": "BeginBoundedTimeRange",
    "from": {
      "type": "RelativeTimeRangeBoundary",
      "relativeTime": "-15m"
    }
  }
}

A metric query consists of a metric, one or more filters, and optionally, one or more metrics operators. Although both filters and operators are optional, in practice, your metric queries will almost always contain filters that narrow the scope of your query. For more information about the query language, see Metrics - Classic.
