Get metric statistics example

var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();

var request = new GetMetricStatisticsRequest
{
    Dimensions = new List<Dimension>() { dimension },
    EndTime = DateTime.Today,
    MetricName = "CPUUtilization",
    Namespace = "AWS/EC2",
    // Get statistics by day.
    Period = (int)TimeSpan.FromDays(1).TotalSeconds,
    // Get statistics for the past month.
    StartTime = DateTime.Today.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromDays(30)),
    Statistics = new List<string>() { "Minimum" },
    Unit = StandardUnit.Percent
};

var response = await client.GetMetricStatisticsAsync(request);

if (response.Datapoints != null)
{
    foreach (var point in response.Datapoints)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(point.Timestamp.Value.ToShortDateString() +
          " " + point.Minimum + "%");
    }
}
