Simple Log Service:DeleteMetricStore

Last Updated:Mar 27, 2026

Deletes an existing Metricstore. When you delete a Metricstore, the metric data stored in the Metricstore and associated resources such as associated collection settings and transformation settings are also deleted.

Operation description

Metricstores are used to store metric data. For more information, see Metric data.

  • You must specify an existing Metricstore.

  • Host consists of a project name and a Simple Log Service endpoint. You must specify a project in Host.

  • An AccessKey pair is created and obtained. For more information, see AccessKey pair.

The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in Simple Log Service is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. Make sure that the RAM user has the management permissions on Simple Log Service resources. For more information, see Create a RAM user and authorize the RAM user to access Simple Log Service.

  • The information that is required to query metric data is obtained. The information includes the name of the project to which the metric data belong and the region of the project. For more information, see Manage a project.

  • You can create up to 200 Logstores or Metricstores in a project.

  • Metric data is automatically deleted when the retention period of the metric data ends.
