# Code examples for CloudWatch using AWS SDKs
<a name="cloudwatch_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show you how to use Amazon CloudWatch with an AWS software development kit (SDK).

*Basics* are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

*Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

*Scenarios* are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.

            CloudWatch collects and tracks various types of data, including metrics, 
            logs, and events, from your AWS and on-premises resources. It allows you to set 
            alarms and automatically respond to changes in your environment, 
            enabling you to quickly identify and address issues before they impact your 
            applications or services. 
                        
            With CloudWatch, you can gain visibility into your entire infrastructure, from the cloud 
            to the edge, and use this information to make informed decisions and optimize your 
            resource utilization.

/**
 Before running this Kotlin code example, set up your development environment,
 including your credentials.

 For more information, see the following documentation topic:
 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-kotlin/latest/developer-guide/setup.html

 To enable billing metrics and statistics for this example, make sure billing alerts are enabled for your account:
 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html#turning_on_billing_metrics

 This Kotlin code example performs the following tasks:

 1. List available namespaces from Amazon CloudWatch. Select a namespace from the list.
 2. List available metrics within the selected namespace.
 3. Get statistics for the selected metric over the last day.
 4. Get CloudWatch estimated billing for the last week.
 5. Create a new CloudWatch dashboard with metrics.
 6. List dashboards using a paginator.
 7. Create a new custom metric by adding data for it.
 8. Add the custom metric to the dashboard.
 9. Create an alarm for the custom metric.
 10. Describe current alarms.
 11. Get current data for the new custom metric.
 12. Push data into the custom metric to trigger the alarm.
 13. Check the alarm state using the action DescribeAlarmsForMetric.
 14. Get alarm history for the new alarm.
 15. Add an anomaly detector for the custom metric.
 16. Describe current anomaly detectors.
 17. Get a metric image for the custom metric.
 18. Clean up the Amazon CloudWatch resources.

# Actions for CloudWatch using AWS SDKs
<a name="cloudwatch_code_examples_actions"></a>

The following code examples demonstrate how to perform individual CloudWatch actions with AWS SDKs. Each example includes a link to GitHub, where you can find instructions for setting up and running the code. 

These excerpts call the CloudWatch API and are code excerpts from larger programs that must be run in context. You can see actions in context in [Scenarios for CloudWatch using AWS SDKs](cloudwatch_code_examples_scenarios.md). 

 The following examples include only the most commonly used actions. For a complete list, see the [Amazon CloudWatch API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html).

**Specifying multiple dimensions**  
The following example illustrates how to specify multiple dimensions. Each dimension is specified as a Name/Value pair, with a comma between the name and the value. Multiple dimensions are separated by a space. If a single metric includes multiple dimensions, you must specify a value for every defined dimension.  
For more examples using the `get-metric-statistics` command, see Get Statistics for a Metric in the *Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide*.  

```
aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics --metric-name Buffers --namespace MyNameSpace --dimensions Name=InstanceID,Value=i-abcdef Name=InstanceType,Value=m1.small --start-time 2016-10-15T04:00:00Z --end-time 2016-10-19T07:00:00Z --statistics Average --period 60

```
aws cloudwatch get-metric-widget-image \
    --metric-widget '{"metrics":[["AWS/EC2","CPUUtilization","InstanceId","i-abcde"]]}' \
    --output-format png \
    --output text | base64 --decode > image.png

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To send an Amazon Simple Notification Service email message when CPU utilization exceeds 70 percent**  
The following example uses the `put-metric-alarm` command to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service email message when CPU utilization exceeds 70 percent:  

```
aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm --alarm-name cpu-mon --alarm-description "Alarm when CPU exceeds 70 percent" --metric-name CPUUtilization --namespace AWS/EC2 --statistic Average --period 300 --threshold 70 --comparison-operator GreaterThanThreshold  --dimensions "Name=InstanceId,Value=i-12345678" --evaluation-periods 2 --alarm-actions arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:111122223333:MyTopic --unit Percent
```
This command returns to the prompt if successful. If an alarm with the same name already exists, it will be overwritten by the new alarm.  
**To specify multiple dimensions**  
The following example illustrates how to specify multiple dimensions. Each dimension is specified as a Name/Value pair, with a comma between the name and the value. Multiple dimensions are separated by a space:  

```

# Scenarios for CloudWatch using AWS SDKs
<a name="cloudwatch_code_examples_scenarios"></a>

The following code examples show you how to implement common scenarios in CloudWatch with AWS SDKs. These scenarios show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within CloudWatch or combined with other AWS services. Each scenario includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code. 

Scenarios target an intermediate level of experience to help you understand service actions in context.
