Get metric statistics example

var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();

var request = new GetMetricStatisticsRequest
{
  Dimensions = new List<Dimension>() { dimension },
  EndTime = DateTime.Today,
  MetricName = "CPUUtilization",
  Namespace = "AWS/EC2",
  // Get statistics by day.
  Period = (int)TimeSpan.FromDays(1).TotalSeconds,
  // Get statistics for the past month.
  StartTime = DateTime.Today.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromDays(30)),
  Statistics = new List<string>() { "Minimum" },
  Unit = StandardUnit.Percent
};

var response = client.GetMetricStatistics(request);

if (response.Datapoints.Count > 0)
{
  foreach (var point in response.Datapoints)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(point.Timestamp.ToShortDateString() +
      " " + point.Minimum + "%");
  }
}
