Create a tag configuration

Overview

Create and define a list of queryable tag keys for an existing count/gauge/rate/distribution metric. Optionally, include percentile aggregations on any distribution metric. By setting exclude_tags_mode to true, the behavior is changed from an allow-list to a deny-list, and tags in the defined list are not queryable. Can only be used with application keys of users with the Manage Tags for Metrics permission. This endpoint requires the metric_tags_write permission.

Description

data [required]

object

Object for a single metric to be configure tags on.

attributes

object

Object containing the definition of a metric tag configuration to be created.
