NAME

       mon-put-data - Put metric data

SYNOPSIS

        mon-put-data
            --metric-name  value  --namespace  value [--dimensions
           "key1=value1,key2=value2..." ] [--timestamp  value ] [--unit  value ]
           [--value  value ] [--statisticValues  "SampleCount=value, Sum=value,
           Maximum=value, Minimum=value" ]  [General Options]

DESCRIPTION

           This call will put time-series data, for either the raw value or valid
        statistic values of a given MetricName.  It supports the input of a single
        datapoint at a time.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

        -d, --dimensions "key1=value1,key2=value2..."
           Dimensions (one or more) along which metric data may be uniquely
           identified.

        -m, --metric-name VALUE
           The name of the Metric to be gathered. Required.

        -n, --namespace VALUE
           The namespace the given Metric is valid in. Required.

        -s, --statisticValues "SampleCount=value, Sum=value, Maximum=value, Minimum=value"
           The statistics to be provided for the given metric. Valid key values are:
           SampleCount, Sum, Maximum and Minimum. All these values need to be
           specified for a valid call.

        -t, --timestamp VALUE
           The timestamp of the datapoint. For example, 2009-11-25T19:00:00+00:00Z.
           Timestamp will be rounded down to the nearest minute. The dateTime type
           uses ISO 8601 (UTC). The default for this is the time that this command
           was executed.

        -u, --unit VALUE
           The unit that the metric is being reported in. Valid unit values are:
           Seconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes,
           Gigabytes, Terabytes, Bits, Kilobits, Megabits, Gigabits, Terabits,
           Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Kilobytes/Second, Megabytes/Second,
           Gigabytes/Second, Terabytes/Second, Bits/Second, Kilobits/Second,
           Megabits/Second, Gigabits/Second, Terabits/Second, Count/Second, None.

        -v, --value VALUE
           The value of the metric datum being put in.

GENERAL OPTIONS

        --aws-credential-file VALUE
           Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

        -C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
           Location of your EC2 certificate file. This value can be set by using the
           environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

        --connection-timeout VALUE
           Specify a connection timeout VALUE (in seconds). The default value is
           '30'.

        --delimiter VALUE
           What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

        --headers
           If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
           column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
           headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

        -I, --access-key-id VALUE
           Specify VALUE as the AWS Access Id to use.

        -K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
           Location of your EC2 private key file. This value can be set by using the
           environment variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

        --region VALUE
           Specify region VALUE as the web service region to use. This value can be
           set by using the environment variable 'EC2_REGION'.

        -S, --secret-key VALUE
           Specify VALUE as the AWS Secret Key to use.

        --show-empty-fields
           Show empty fields and rows, using a "(nil)" value. The default is to not
           show empty fields or columns.

        --show-request
           Displays the URL the tools used to call the AWS Service. The default
           value is 'false'.

        --show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
           Specify how the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long), xml, or
           no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
           column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
           by a character. The xml is the raw return from the service, while quiet
           suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

        -U, --url VALUE
           This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
           value can be set by using the environment variable 'AWS_CLOUDWATCH_URL'.

INPUT EXAMPLES

        This puts statistic data for "RequestCount" in the "MyService" namespace.
        The metric contains no dimensions and so represents the overall RequestCount
        across the entire service. The measurement is a pre-aggregated
        statisticValue representing five earlier measurements whose maximum was 70,
        minimum was 30 and sum was 250.

       $PROMPT>mon-put-data   --metric-name   RequestCount  --namespace  "MyService"  --timestamp
       2009-11-25T00:00:00.000Z --statisticValues "Sum=250,Minimum=30,Maximum=70,SampleCount=5"

        This puts user-specific "RequestCount" test data in the "MyService"
        namespace. The user and stack name are stored as dimensions in order to
        distinguish this metric from the service-wide metric in the example above.

       $PROMPT>mon-put-data  --metric-name  RequestCount  --namespace  "MyService"   --dimensions
       "User=SomeUser,Stack=Test" --timestamp 2009-11-25T00:00:00.000Z --value 50
