# AWS - Metrics

Lets you watch the metrics of a specific function.

```bash
serverless metrics
```

## Options

- `--function` or `-f` The function you want to fetch the metrics for.
- `--stage` or `-s` The stage you want to view the function metrics for. If not provided, the plugin will use the default stage listed in `serverless.yml`. If that doesn't exist either it'll just fetch the metrics from the `dev` stage.
- `--region` or `-r` The region you want to view the function metrics for. If not provided, the plugin will use the default region listed in `serverless.yml`. If that doesn't exist either it'll just fetch the metrics from the `us-east-1` region.
- `--aws-profile` The AWS profile you want to use.
- `--startTime` A specific unit in time to start fetching metrics from (ie: `2010-10-20`, `1469705761`, `30m` (30 minutes ago), `2h` (2 hours ago) or `3d` (3 days ago)). Date formats should be written in ISO 8601. Defaults to 24h ago.
- `--endTime` A specific unit in time to end fetching metrics from (ie: `2010-10-21` or `1469705761`). Date formats should be written in ISO 8601. Defaults to now.

## Examples

**Note:** There's a small lag between invoking the function and actually having access to the metrics. It takes a few seconds for the metrics to show up right after invoking the function.
