Functions

def single_metric(name: str, unit: MetricUnit, value: float, namespace: Optional[str] = None) ‑> Generator[SingleMetric, None, None]

Context manager to simplify creation of a single metric

Example

Creates cold start metric with function_version as dimension

from aws_lambda_powertools import single_metric
from aws_lambda_powertools.metrics import MetricUnit

with single_metric(name="ColdStart", unit=MetricUnit.Count, value=1, namespace="ServerlessAirline") as metric:
    metric.add_dimension(name="function_version", value="47")

Same as above but set namespace using environment variable

$ export POWERTOOLS_METRICS_NAMESPACE="ServerlessAirline"

from aws_lambda_powertools import single_metric
from aws_lambda_powertools.metrics import MetricUnit

with single_metric(name="ColdStart", unit=MetricUnit.Count, value=1) as metric:
    metric.add_dimension(name="function_version", value="47")

Parameters

name : str
Metric name
unit : MetricUnit
aws_lambda_powertools.helper.models.MetricUnit
value : float
Metric value
namespace : str
Namespace for metrics

Yields

SingleMetric
SingleMetric class instance

Raises

MetricUnitError
When metric metric isn't supported by CloudWatch
MetricValueError
When metric value isn't a number
SchemaValidationError
When metric object fails EMF schema validation

Classes

class SingleMetric (metric_set: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, dimension_set: Optional[Dict[~KT, ~VT]] = None, namespace: Optional[str] = None, metadata_set: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, service: Optional[str] = None)

SingleMetric creates an EMF object with a single metric.

EMF specification doesn't allow metrics with different dimensions. SingleMetric overrides MetricManager's add_metric method to do just that.

Use single_metric() when you need to create metrics with different dimensions, otherwise Metrics is a more cost effective option

Environment Variables

POWERTOOLS_METRICS_NAMESPACE : str metric namespace

Example

Creates cold start metric with function_version as dimension

import json
from aws_lambda_powertools.metrics import single_metric, MetricUnit
metric = single_metric(namespace="ServerlessAirline")

metric.add_metric(name="ColdStart", unit=MetricUnit.Count, value=1)
metric.add_dimension(name="function_version", value=47)

print(json.dumps(metric.serialize_metric_set(), indent=4))
