Cloud Monitoring V3 API - Class Google::Cloud::Monitoring::V3::TimeInterval (v0.15.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Monitoring V3 API class Google::Cloud::Monitoring::V3::TimeInterval.

A closed time interval. It extends from the start time to the end time, and includes both: [startTime, endTime]. Valid time intervals depend on the MetricKind of the metric value. The end time must not be earlier than the start time. When writing data points, the start time must not be more than 25 hours in the past and the end time must not be more than five minutes in the future.

For GAUGE metrics, the startTime value is technically optional; if no value is specified, the start time defaults to the value of the end time, and the interval represents a single point in time. If both start and end times are specified, they must be identical. Such an interval is valid only for GAUGE metrics, which are point-in-time measurements. The end time of a new interval must be at least a millisecond after the end time of the previous interval.
For DELTA metrics, the start time and end time must specify a non-zero interval, with subsequent points specifying contiguous and non-overlapping intervals. For DELTA metrics, the start time of the next interval must be at least a millisecond after the end time of the previous interval.
For CUMULATIVE metrics, the start time and end time must specify a non-zero interval, with subsequent points specifying the same start time and increasing end times, until an event resets the cumulative value to zero and sets a new start time for the following points. The new start time must be at least a millisecond after the end time of the previous interval.
The start time of a new interval must be at least a millisecond after the end time of the previous interval because intervals are closed. If the start time of a new interval is the same as the end time of the previous interval, then data written at the new start time could overwrite data written at the previous end time.

Methods

#end_time

def end_time() -> ::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp

Returns

(::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp) — Required. The end of the time interval.

#end_time=

def end_time=(value) -> ::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp

Parameter

value (::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp) — Required. The end of the time interval.

Returns

(::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp) — Required. The end of the time interval.

#start_time

def start_time() -> ::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp

Returns

(::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp) — Optional. The beginning of the time interval. The default value for the start time is the end time. The start time must not be later than the end time.

#start_time=

def start_time=(value) -> ::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp

Parameter

value (::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp) — Optional. The beginning of the time interval. The default value for the start time is the end time. The start time must not be later than the end time.

Returns

(::Google::Protobuf::Timestamp) — Optional. The beginning of the time interval. The default value for the start time is the end time. The start time must not be later than the end time.
