Cosmos database_RID metrics for API (Microsoft.DocumentDB)

Question

I’m trying to obtain data from a specific cosmosDB database, in this case I use the Total Requests metric as an example. 

With the help of the URL https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/rest/api/cosmos-db-resource-provider/database/list-metrics?view=rest-cosmos-db-resource-provider-2024 -05-15&tabs=HTTP#code-try-0, I put the corresponding values. However the databaseRid value seems to be incorrect.

The returned result is always empty, even when the database name is correct or even if it is changed to any other value.

The questions are:

• Is some other property needed to be able to obtain some metrics at the DB level, or is it not possible to obtain any of these?
• The databaseRid is equal to the name given to it at the time of creation or is this an internal ID automatically placed by cosmos, if so how can this value be obtained?

Answer 1

For databaseRid, have you checked the interval you have put like starttime and endtime in your request ?

For your question, regarding how to be able to obtain some metrics at the DB level, you need to have Permission to read metrics (typically requires a role such as Contributor, Owner)
