    Use this data source to retrieve metadata associated with a metric to use in other resources.

    Using getMetricMetadata

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getMetricMetadata(args: GetMetricMetadataArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetMetricMetadataResult>
function getMetricMetadataOutput(args: GetMetricMetadataOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetMetricMetadataResult>
    def get_metric_metadata(metric_name: Optional[str] = None,
                        opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetMetricMetadataResult
def get_metric_metadata_output(metric_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                        opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetMetricMetadataResult]
    func LookupMetricMetadata(ctx *Context, args *LookupMetricMetadataArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupMetricMetadataResult, error)
func LookupMetricMetadataOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupMetricMetadataOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupMetricMetadataResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupMetricMetadata in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetMetricMetadata 
{
    public static Task<GetMetricMetadataResult> InvokeAsync(GetMetricMetadataArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetMetricMetadataResult> Invoke(GetMetricMetadataInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}
    public static CompletableFuture<GetMetricMetadataResult> getMetricMetadata(GetMetricMetadataArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
public static Output<GetMetricMetadataResult> getMetricMetadata(GetMetricMetadataArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
