stackdriver: attempt to annotate instance returns 'CustomMetric data payloads must either be a list or a dict'

Question

I am sending to stackdriver the following json trying to annotate an aws instance:

{ "message": "instance impaired", "annotated_by": "Ops User", "level": "WARN", "instance_id": "i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "event_epoch": 1484903331 }

It returns the error:

HTTP 400: Bad Request (CustomMetric data payloads must either be a list or a dict. You sent: <type 'NoneType'>)

What is wrong with my json? What does a "dict" mean in stackdriver language. I couldn't find anything in the web about that error.

Can you post additional information, like the URI endpoint, HTTP method, etc.? — Eric Silva, Jan 23 '17 at 22:44

It turned out I was using a wrong endpoint. Now it is working as expected.
