Cloud Monitor:Cursor

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

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

Obtains the Cursor information, and then calls 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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

Namespace

string

Yes

The namespace of the cloud service.

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

acs_ecs_dashboard

Metric

string

Yes

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

Period

integer

Yes

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

StartTime

string

Yes

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

EndTime

string

No

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

Matchers

array

No

The dimension information of the metric.

Matcher

No

The dimension information of the metric.
