node-cloudwatch

This is a CloudWatch wrapper (based on node-ec2 and simple-rest-client) mostly used for pushing custom metrics. For a real use-case, see examples.js.

Usage

Just instantiate a new client:

var REST = require('node-cloudwatch');
var client = new REST.AmazonCloudwatchClient();

Requests (Part 1)

params = {};

client.request('ListMetrics', params, function (response) {
	client.showResponse(response);
});

	

Requests (Part 2)

params = {};

params['Namespace'] = 'MyCustomNamespace';
params['MetricData.member.1.MetricName'] = 'MyCustomMetric';
params['MetricData.member.1.Unit'] = 'MyUnit';
params['MetricData.member.1.Value'] = 'MyValue';
params['MetricData.member.1.Dimensions.member.1.Name'] = 'InstanceID';
params['MetricData.member.1.Dimensions.member.1.Value'] = 'i-XXXXXX';


client.request('PutMetricData', params, function (response) {
	client.showResponse(response);
});
