DescribeAnomalyDetectors - Amazon CloudWatch
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

DescribeAnomalyDetectors

Lists the anomaly detection models that you have created in your account. For single metric anomaly detectors, you can list all of the models in your account or filter the results to only the models that are related to a certain namespace, metric name, or metric dimension. For metric math anomaly detectors, you can list them by adding METRIC_MATH to the AnomalyDetectorTypes array. This will return all metric math anomaly detectors in your account.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

AnomalyDetectorTypes.member.N

The anomaly detector types to request when using DescribeAnomalyDetectorsInput. If empty, defaults to SINGLE_METRIC.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Maximum number of 2 items.

Valid Values: SINGLE_METRIC | METRIC_MATH

Required: No

Dimensions.member.N

Limits the results to only the anomaly detection models that are associated with the specified metric dimensions. If there are multiple metrics that have these dimensions and have anomaly detection models associated, they're all returned.

Type: Array of Dimension objects

Array Members: Maximum number of 30 items.

Required: No

MaxResults

The maximum number of results to return in one operation. The maximum value that you can specify is 100.

To retrieve the remaining results, make another call with the returned NextToken value.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.

Required: No

MetricName

Limits the results to only the anomaly detection models that are associated with the specified metric name. If there are multiple metrics with this name in different namespaces that have anomaly detection models, they're all returned.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 255.

Required: No

Namespace

Limits the results to only the anomaly detection models that are associated with the specified namespace.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 255.

Pattern: [^:].*

Required: No

NextToken

Use the token returned by the previous operation to request the next page of results.

Type: String

Required: No

Response Elements

The following elements are returned by the service.

AnomalyDetectors.member.N

The list of anomaly detection models returned by the operation.

Type: Array of AnomalyDetector objects

NextToken

A token that you can use in a subsequent operation to retrieve the next set of results.

Type: String

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServiceError

Request processing has failed due to some unknown error, exception, or failure.

HTTP Status Code: 500

InvalidNextToken

The next token specified is invalid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidParameterCombination

Parameters were used together that cannot be used together.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidParameterValue

The value of an input parameter is bad or out-of-range.

HTTP Status Code: 400

Examples

Example

The following example lists all the anomaly detectors for metrics with the name CPUUtilization.

Sample Request

{ "MetricName:": "CPUUtilization" }

Sample Response

{ "AnomalyDetectors": [ { "Namespace": "AWS/EC2", "MetricName": "CPUUtilization", "Dimensions": [ { "Name": "dimension1", "Value": "value1" }, { "Name": "dimension2", "Value": "value2" } ], "Stat": "Average", "Configuration": { "ExcludedTimeRanges": [ ] } }, { "Namespace": "AWS/EC2", "MetricName": "CPUUtilization", "Dimensions": [ { "Name": "dimension1", "Value": "value1" } ], "Stat": "SampleCount", "Configuration": { "ExcludedTimeRanges": [ ] } }, { "Namespace": "APITest1", "MetricName": "Metric1", "Dimensions": [ { "Name": "dimension1", "Value": "value1" } ], "Stat": "SampleCount", "Configuration": { "ExcludedTimeRanges": [ ] } }, { "Namespace": "CustomNamespace", "MetricName": "CPUUtilization", "Dimensions": [ { "Name": "dimension1", "Value": "value1" }, { "Name": "dimension2", "Value": "value2" } ], "Stat": "Maximum", "Configuration": { "ExcludedTimeRanges": [ ] } } ] }
