name

The name of the utilization metric.

The following utilization metrics are available:

  • VolumeReadOpsPerSecond - The completed read operations per second from the volume in a specified period of time.

    Unit: Count

  • VolumeWriteOpsPerSecond - The completed write operations per second to the volume in a specified period of time.

    Unit: Count

  • VolumeReadBytesPerSecond - The bytes read per second from the volume in a specified period of time.

    Unit: Bytes

  • VolumeWriteBytesPerSecond - The bytes written to the volume in a specified period of time.

    Unit: Bytes

Type: String

Valid Values: VolumeReadOpsPerSecond | VolumeWriteOpsPerSecond | VolumeReadBytesPerSecond | VolumeWriteBytesPerSecond

Required: No

statistic

The statistic of the utilization metric.

The Compute Optimizer API, Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), and SDKs return utilization metrics using only the Maximum statistic, which is the highest value observed during the specified period.

The Compute Optimizer console displays graphs for some utilization metrics using the Average statistic, which is the value of Sum / SampleCount during the specified period. For more information, see Viewing resource recommendations in the Amazon Compute Optimizer User Guide. You can also get averaged utilization metric data for your resources using Amazon CloudWatch. For more information, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
