You shouldn't make instances of this class. Each attribute should be used as a named argument in the calls that expect this type of object. As an example, if Att1 is expected to be a Paws::CloudWatch::MetricDataQuery object: $service_obj->Method(Att1 => { Expression => $value, ..., ReturnData => $value }); =head3 Results returned from an API call Use accessors for each attribute. If Att1 is expected to be an Paws::CloudWatch::MetricDataQuery object: $result = $service_obj->Method(...); $result->Att1->Expression =head1 DESCRIPTION This structure is used in both C and C. The supported use of this structure is different for those two operations. When used in C, it indicates the metric data to return, and whether this call is just retrieving a batch set of data for one metric, or is performing a math expression on metric data. A single C call can include up to 500 C structures. When used in C, it enables you to create an alarm based on a metric math expression. Each C in the array specifies either a metric to retrieve, or a math expression to be performed on retrieved metrics. A single C call can include up to 20 C structures in the array. The 20 structures can include as many as 10 structures that contain a C parameter to retrieve a metric, and as many as 10 structures that contain the C parameter to perform a math expression. Of those C structures, one must have C as the value for C. The result of this expression is the value the alarm watches. Any expression used in a C operation must return a single time series. For more information, see Metric Math Syntax and Functions (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/using-metric-math.html#metric-math-syntax) in the I. Some of the parameters of this structure also have different uses whether you are using this structure in a C operation or a C operation. These differences are explained in the following parameter list. =head1 ATTRIBUTES =head2 Expression => Str The math expression to be performed on the returned data, if this object is performing a math expression. This expression can use the C of the other metrics to refer to those metrics, and can also use the C of other expressions to use the result of those expressions. For more information about metric math expressions, see Metric Math Syntax and Functions (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/using-metric-math.html#metric-math-syntax) in the I. Within each MetricDataQuery object, you must specify either C or C but not both. =head2 B Id => Str A short name used to tie this object to the results in the response. This name must be unique within a single call to C. If you are performing math expressions on this set of data, this name represents that data and can serve as a variable in the mathematical expression. The valid characters are letters, numbers, and underscore. The first character must be a lowercase letter. =head2 Label => Str A human-readable label for this metric or expression. This is especially useful if this is an expression, so that you know what the value represents. If the metric or expression is shown in a CloudWatch dashboard widget, the label is shown. If Label is omitted, CloudWatch generates a default. You can put dynamic expressions into a label, so that it is more descriptive. For more information, see Using Dynamic Labels (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/graph-dynamic-labels.html). =head2 MetricStat => L The metric to be returned, along with statistics, period, and units. Use this parameter only if this object is retrieving a metric and not performing a math expression on returned data. Within one MetricDataQuery object, you must specify either C or C but not both. =head2 Period => Int The granularity, in seconds, of the returned data points. For metrics with regular resolution, a period can be as short as one minute (60 seconds) and must be a multiple of 60. For high-resolution metrics that are collected at intervals of less than one minute, the period can be 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, or any multiple of 60. High-resolution metrics are those metrics stored by a C operation that includes a C. =head2 ReturnData => Bool When used in C, this option indicates whether to return the timestamps and raw data values of this metric. If you are performing this call just to do math expressions and do not also need the raw data returned, you can specify C. If you omit this, the default of C is used. When used in C, specify C for the one expression result to use as the alarm. For all other metrics and expressions in the same C operation, specify C as False. =head1 SEE ALSO This class forms part of L, describing an object used in L =head1 BUGS and CONTRIBUTIONS The source code is located here: L Please report bugs to: L =cut
