Retrieving CloudWatch metrics using SDK for Java AWS?

Question

I am trying to get CPU statistics from an EC2 instance using the CloudWatch API:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/services/cloudwatch/AmazonCloudWatchClient.html

I have the following code, but it returns an empty result, even if the instance ID, as well as the access access and AWS secret keys are correct.

I can see the processor usage for the instance in the CloudWatch user interface, but can't seem to get it below?

I am using version 1.9.0 for the AWS SDK.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

import com.amazonaws.services.cloudwatch.AmazonCloudWatchClient;
import com.amazonaws.services.cloudwatch.model.Datapoint;
import com.amazonaws.services.cloudwatch.model.Dimension;
import com.amazonaws.services.cloudwatch.model.GetMetricStatisticsRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.cloudwatch.model.GetMetricStatisticsResult;

public class AmazonCloudWatchFetchCpuUtilTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final String awsAccessKey = ...;
        final String awsSecretKey = ...;
        final String instanceId = ...;

        final AmazonCloudWatchClient client = client(awsAccessKey, awsSecretKey);
        final GetMetricStatisticsRequest request = request(instanceId); 
        final GetMetricStatisticsResult result = result(client, request);
        toStdOut(result, instanceId);   
    }

    private static AmazonCloudWatchClient client(final String awsAccessKey, final String awsSecretKey) {
        return new AmazonCloudWatchClient(new BasicAWSCredentials(awsAccessKey, awsSecretKey));
    }

    private static GetMetricStatisticsRequest request(final String instanceId) {
        final long twentyFourHrs = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
        final int oneHour = 60 * 60;
        return new GetMetricStatisticsRequest()
            .withStartTime(new Date(new Date().getTime()- twentyFourHrs))
            .withNamespace("AWS/EC2")
            .withPeriod(oneHour)
            .withDimensions(new Dimension().withName("InstanceId").withValue(instanceId))
            .withMetricName("CPUUtilization")
            .withStatistics("Average", "Maximum")
            .withEndTime(new Date());
    }

    private static GetMetricStatisticsResult result(
            final AmazonCloudWatchClient client, final GetMetricStatisticsRequest request) {
         return client.getMetricStatistics(request);
    }

    private static void toStdOut(final GetMetricStatisticsResult result, final String instanceId) {
        System.out.println(result); // outputs empty result: {Label: CPUUtilization,Datapoints: []}
        for (final Datapoint dataPoint : result.getDatapoints()) {
            System.out.printf("%s instance average CPU utilization : %s%n", instanceId, dataPoint.getAverage());      
            System.out.printf("%s instance max CPU utilization : %s%n", instanceId, dataPoint.getMaximum());
        }
    }
}

:

    private static AmazonCloudWatchClient client(final String awsAccessKey, final String awsSecretKey) {
        return new AmazonCloudWatchClient(new BasicAWSCredentials(awsAccessKey, awsSecretKey));
    }

:

    private static AmazonCloudWatchClient client(final String awsAccessKey, final String awsSecretKey) {
        final AmazonCloudWatchClient client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient(new BasicAWSCredentials(awsAccessKey, awsSecretKey));
        client.setEndpoint("http://monitoring.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com");
        return client;
    }
