       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'.

       '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
