list-insights-metric-data

Description

Returns Insights metrics data for trails that have enabled Insights. The request must include the EventSource , EventName , and InsightType parameters.

If the InsightType is set to ApiErrorRateInsight , the request must also include the ErrorCode parameter.

The following are the available time periods for ListInsightsMetricData . Each cutoff is inclusive.

  • Data points with a period of 60 seconds (1-minute) are available for 15 days.
  • Data points with a period of 300 seconds (5-minute) are available for 63 days.
  • Data points with a period of 3600 seconds (1 hour) are available for 90 days.

Access to the ListInsightsMetricData API operation is linked to the cloudtrail:LookupEvents action. To use this operation, you must have permissions to perform the cloudtrail:LookupEvents action.

Options

--event-source (string)

The Amazon Web Services service to which the request was made, such as iam.amazonaws.com or s3.amazonaws.com .

--event-name (string)

The name of the event, typically the Amazon Web Services API on which unusual levels of activity were recorded.

--insight-type (string)

The type of CloudTrail Insights event, which is either ApiCallRateInsight or ApiErrorRateInsight . The ApiCallRateInsight Insights type analyzes write-only management API calls that are aggregated per minute against a baseline API call volume. The ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type analyzes management API calls that result in error codes.

Possible values:

  • ApiCallRateInsight
  • ApiErrorRateInsight

--error-code (string)

Conditionally required if the InsightType parameter is set to ApiErrorRateInsight .

If returning metrics for the ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type, this is the error to retrieve data for. For example, AccessDenied .

--start-time (timestamp)

Specifies, in UTC, the start time for time-series data. The value specified is inclusive; results include data points with the specified time stamp.

The default is 90 days before the time of request.

--end-time (timestamp)

Specifies, in UTC, the end time for time-series data. The value specified is exclusive; results include data points up to the specified time stamp.

The default is the time of request.

--period (integer)

Granularity of data to retrieve, in seconds. Valid values are 60 , 300 , and 3600 . If you specify any other value, you will get an error. The default is 3600 seconds.

--data-type (string)

Type of data points to return. Valid values are NonZeroData and FillWithZeros . The default is NonZeroData .

Possible values:

  • FillWithZeros
  • NonZeroData

--max-results (integer)

The maximum number of data points to return. Valid values are integers from 1 to 21600. The default value is 21600.

--next-token (string)

Returned if all datapoints can't be returned in a single call. For example, due to reaching MaxResults .

Add this parameter to the request to continue retrieving results starting from the last evaluated point.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

EventSource -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services service to which the request was made, such as iam.amazonaws.com or s3.amazonaws.com .

EventName -> (string)

The name of the event, typically the Amazon Web Services API on which unusual levels of activity were recorded.

InsightType -> (string)

The type of CloudTrail Insights event, which is either ApiCallRateInsight or ApiErrorRateInsight .

The ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type analyzes management API calls that result in error codes.

ErrorCode -> (string)

Only returned if InsightType parameter was set to ApiErrorRateInsight .

If returning metrics for the ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type, this is the error to retrieve data for. For example, AccessDenied .

Timestamps -> (list)

List of timestamps at intervals corresponding to the specified time period.

(timestamp)

Values -> (list)

List of values representing the API call rate or error rate at each timestamp. The number of values is equal to the number of timestamps.

NextToken -> (string)

Only returned if the full results could not be returned in a single query. You can set the NextToken parameter in the next request to this value to continue retrieval.
