tencent cloud

1. API Description

Domain name for API request: monitor.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to get the monitoring data of Tencent Cloud services except TKE. To pull TKE’s monitoring data, use the DescribeStatisticData API.
You can get the monitoring data of a Tencent Cloud service by passing in its namespace, object dimension description, and monitoring metrics.
API call rate limit: 20 calls/second (1,200 calls/minute). A single request can get the data of up to 10 instances for up to 1,440 data points.
If you need to call a large number of APIs to pull metrics or objects at a time, some APIs may fail to be called due to the rate limit. We suggest you evenly arrange API calls at a time granularity.

A maximum of 50 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.
