Response details OpenAPI

Authorization

An account key with access, or a project/service key with metrics:read. The resource must be within the key’s project, service, and environment scope.

Authorization: Bearer <key>Key setup

Path parameters

idstringrequired

Service id.

Query parameters

rangestringoptional

Window to report over: 1h, 6h, 24h or 7d. Defaults to 1h, so ask for a wider range when investigating a pattern rather than a spike.

Response 200

The range query accepts 1h, 6h, 24h, or 7d. Resource series aggregate the service’s replicas and are downsampled over time. They are not per-instance averages. Network rates are bytes per second; summary.instances reports the latest sampled replica count.

Examples show selected response fields with illustrative values. Your response can contain additional fields.

seriesarray
