Answer 1

Here is a documentation of .NET API http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkfornet/latest/apidocs/Index.html

Answer 2

I found the answer on the aws documentation.

It is in this link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkfornet/latest/apidocs/Index.html Under the topic: Amazon.CloudWatch > AmazonCloudWatchClient > PutMetricData

There is this example bellow

var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();
 
var dimension = new Dimension
{
  Name = "Desktop Machine Metrics",
  Value = "Virtual Desktop Machine Usage"
};
 
var metric1 = new MetricDatum
{
  Dimensions = new List<Dimension>(),
  MetricName = "Desktop Machines Online",
  StatisticValues = new StatisticSet(),
  Timestamp = DateTime.Today,
  Unit = StandardUnit.Count,
  Value = 14
};
 
var metric2 = new MetricDatum
{
  Dimensions = new List<Dimension>(),
  MetricName = "Desktop Machines Offline",
  StatisticValues = new StatisticSet(),
  Timestamp = DateTime.Today,
  Unit = StandardUnit.Count,
  Value = 7
};
 
var metric3 = new MetricDatum
{
  Dimensions = new List<Dimension>(),
  MetricName = "Desktop Machines Online",
  StatisticValues = new StatisticSet(),
  Timestamp = DateTime.Today,
  Unit = StandardUnit.Count,
  Value = 12
};
 
var metric4 = new MetricDatum
{
  Dimensions = new List<Dimension>(),
  MetricName = "Desktop Machines Offline",
  StatisticValues = new StatisticSet(),
  Timestamp = DateTime.Today,
  Unit = StandardUnit.Count,
  Value = 9
};
 
var request = new PutMetricDataRequest
{
  MetricData = new List<MetricDatum>() { metric1, metric2, 
    metric3, metric4 },
  Namespace = "Example.com Custom Metrics"
};
 
client.PutMetricData(request);
