An entity associated with metrics, to allow for finding related telemetry. An entity is typically a resource or service within your system. For example, metrics from an Amazon EC2 instance could be associated with that instance as the entity. Similarly, metrics from a service that you own could be associated with that service as the entity.

Attributes | System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<System.String, System.String> |
Gets and sets the property Attributes. Additional attributes of the entity that are not used to specify the identity of the entity. A list of key-value pairs. For details about how to use the attributes, see How to add related information to telemetry in the CloudWatch User Guide. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true. |
