CloudMonitor:Cursor

Last Updated:Mar 25, 2025

Defines the range of monitoring data that you want to export. The Cursor information is returned. When you call the BatchExport operation for the first time, you must specify the Cursor information.

Operation description

Prerequisites

Hybrid Cloud Monitoring is activated. For more information, see Activate Hybrid Cloud Monitoring.

Background information

You can call this operation to obtain the Cursor information and then call the BatchExport operation to export the monitoring data.

Description

This topic provides an example on how to define the monitoring data of a specified metric for a specified cloud service. In this example, the namespace of the cloud service is set to acs_ecs_dashboard, the metric is set to cpu_idle, the start time is set to 1641627000000, and the end time is set to 1641645000000. The number of idle CPU cores on your Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances is measured every 60 seconds from 15:30:00, January 8, 2022 to 20:30:00, January 8, 2022. The Cursor information is returned.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • For mandatory resource types, indicate with a prefix of * .
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
NamespacestringYes

The namespace of the cloud service.

For more information about the namespaces of cloud services, see Appendix 1: Metrics.

acs_ecs_dashboard
MetricstringYes

The metric that is used to monitor the cloud service.

For more information about the metrics of cloud services, see Appendix 1: Metrics.

cpu_idle
PeriodintegerYes

The time interval based on which the metric value is measured.

Unit: seconds.

Note Generally, the time interval is 60 seconds. For more information about specific values, see the Period parameter in Appendix 1: Metrics.
60
StartTimestringYes

The beginning of the time range to query.

Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC. For example, 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z indicates January 1, 2023, 00:00:00 UTC.

Note In CloudMonitor, the TTL of monitoring data varies with the time granularity. Specify a proper time interval based on the TTL corresponding to the value of the Period parameter.
1641627000000
EndTimestringNo

The end of the time range to query.

Unit: milliseconds.

Note
  • This value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC. For example, 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z indicates January 1, 2023, 00:00:00 UTC.

  • If you do not set the end time, the end time is infinite. You can leave this parameter empty in real-time export scenarios.

  • In CloudMonitor, the TTL of monitoring data varies with the time granularity. Specify a proper time interval based on the TTL corresponding to the value of the Period parameter.

1641645000000
MatchersarrayNo

The dimension information of the metric.
