This topic describes the performance metrics that are supported by ApsaraDB for Redis. When you call the DescribeHistoryMonitorValues operation, you must specify one or more of the metrics in the following tables to collect the relevant monitoring data.

Associated API operations

DescribeHistoryMonitorValues: queries detailed monitoring information about an ApsaraDB for Redis instance.

Note When you call this operation, you can pass the metrics listed in the MonitorKeys column of the following tables to the MonitorKeys request parameter based on your business requirements. Standard instances of ApsaraDB for Redis support only Metrics for a single node.
