      • hasKeyAttributes

        public final boolean hasKeyAttributes()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the KeyAttributes property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • keyAttributes

        public final Map<String,​String> keyAttributes()

        The attributes of the entity which identify the specific entity, as a list of key-value pairs. Entities with the same keyAttributes are considered to be the same entity.

        There are five allowed attributes (key names): Type, ResourceType, Identifier Name, and Environment.

        For details about how to use the key attributes, see How to add related information to telemetry in the CloudWatch User Guide.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasKeyAttributes() method.

        Returns:
