How to get a list of all dimensions for a metric in Grail?

[36Krazyfists]

Basically, I'm looking for something synonymous to the "describe" command, but for metrics.  Does anything like that currently exist?

Yes, in DQL you get the auto-complete pop-ups when you type "by:" in the "timeseries" command and using the Metrics browser you can use the split-by to get a list of available dimensions, but I'm working on something more dynamic and need to find a way to get a list of all available dimensions for any specific metric.

Is there any programmatic way to do this right now?  In the Classic API v2 there is an endpoint that will return this data, but how would I do that in DQL or using the newer Grail API's (I'd prefer to be able to do it solely in DQL, but if that isn't possible, I could settle with an API call if necessary).

Thanks!

DQL does not currently support retrieving dimensions for a metric directly. 

You could use the Metrics API on a code tile:

• You can use the Metrics API v2 to query metadata for a specific metric, including its available dimensions.
• Endpoint: GET /api/v2/metrics/{metricKey}
• Replace {metricKey} with the key of the metric you want to query (e.g., builtin:host.cpu.load15m).
• The response will include details about the metric, including its dimensions (dimensionDefinitions)
