        Amazon CloudWatch is an easy-to-use web service that provides
        comprehensive monitoring for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
        <acronym>EC2</acronym>) and Elastic Load Balancing. For more details information

                        The maximum number of datapoints that the Amazon CloudWatch service will
                        return in a single GetMetricStatistics request is 1,440. If a request is
                        made that would generate more datapoints than this amount, Amazon CloudWatch
                        will return an error. You can alter your request by narrowing the time range
                        (StartTime, EndTime) or increasing the Period in your single request. You
                        may also get all of the data at the granularity you originally asked for
                        by making multiple requests with adjacent time ranges.

                        specify this as a string or as an array of values. If you don't specify one
                        it will default to Average instead of failing out. If you specify an

                        dimension, the service returns the aggregate of all the measures with the
                        given measure name and time range.

                        Bits/Second, Count/Second, and None. Constraints: When using count/second
                        as the unit, you should use Sum as the statistic instead of Average.
                        Otherwise, the sample returns as equal to the number of requests
                        instead of the number of 60-second intervals. This will cause the Average
                        to always equals one when the unit is count/second.

                        value down to the nearest minute. You can set your start time for more than
                        two weeks in the past. However, you will only get data for the past two
                        weeks. (in ISO 8601 format). Constraints: Must be before EndTime.
