Get Max CPU Utilization for Instance

Step Details
Introduced in Version	9.0.0
Last Modified in Version	9.0.0
Location	Integration > Amazon AWS > Cloud Watch

The Get Max CPU Utilization for Instance step retrieves the maximum CPU utilization over a period of time for an EC2 instance.

Prerequisites

This step requires the Amazon AWS Module to be installed before it will be available in the toolbox, and an active AWS account. The Amazon WebServices Settings must also be configured.
A dependency must be created after installing the module in order for the the steps to be properly used.

Properties

Inputs

Property	Description	Data Type
Region	The Amazon AWS Region the instance is located on.	AmazonAWSRegion
EC2 Instance Id	The Id of the EC2 instance to retrieve maximum CPU utilization for.	String
Start Date	Marks the start date used for retrieval.	DateTime
End Date	Marks the end date used for retrieval.	DateTime
Period	Defines the period when data is gathered.	Int32

Outputs

Property	Description	Data Type
Done	Outputs maximum CPU utilization in a defined instance.	GetMetricDataResult

Common Errors

The Parameter 'Period' must be a value in the set [1, 5, 10, 20, 30]

If the period input is not one of the integers in the above set, the step will cause an error.

To correct this, change the period input to a value within this given set.

The Parameter EndTime must be greater than StartTime.

If the EndTime value is less than or equal to the StartTime, the step will cause an error.

To correct this, make the EndTime value greater than the StartTime value.
