GET https://management.azure.com/{resourceUri}/providers/microsoft.insights/metrics?api-version=2018-01-01

With optional parameters:

GET https://management.azure.com/{resourceUri}/providers/microsoft.insights/metrics?timespan={timespan}&interval={interval}&metricnames={metricnames}&aggregation={aggregation}&top={top}&orderby={orderby}&$filter={$filter}&resultType={resultType}&api-version=2018-01-01&metricnamespace={metricnamespace}

URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
resourceUri	path	True	string	The identifier of the resource.
timespan	query		string	The timespan of the query. It is a string with the following format 'startDateTime_ISO/endDateTime_ISO'.
interval	query		string duration	The interval (i.e. timegrain) of the query.
metricnames	query		string	The names of the metrics (comma separated) to retrieve.
aggregation	query		string	The list of aggregation types (comma separated) to retrieve.
top	query		integer int32	The maximum number of records to retrieve. Valid only if $filter is specified. Defaults to 10.
orderby	query		string	The aggregation to use for sorting results and the direction of the sort. Only one order can be specified. Examples: sum asc.
$filter	query		string	The $filter is used to reduce the set of metric data returned. Example: Metric contains metadata A, B and C. - Return all time series of C where A = a1 and B = b1 or b2 *$filter=A eq ‘a1’ and B eq ‘b1’ or B eq ‘b2’ and C eq ‘’ - Invalid variant: $filter=A eq ‘a1’ and B eq ‘b1’ and C eq ‘’ or B = ‘b2’* This is invalid because the logical or operator cannot separate two different metadata names. - Return all time series where A = a1, B = b1 and C = c1: $filter=A eq ‘a1’ and B eq ‘b1’ and C eq ‘c1’ - Return all time series where A = a1 *$filter=A eq ‘a1’ and B eq ‘’ and C eq ‘’*.
resultType	query		ResultType	Reduces the set of data collected. The syntax allowed depends on the operation. See the operation's description for details.
api-version	query	True	string	Client Api Version.
metricnamespace	query		string	Metric namespace to query metric definitions for.

Responses

Name	Type	Description
200 OK	Response	Successful request to get the list of metric values.
Other Status Codes	ErrorResponse	Error response describing why the operation failed.
