-
Base class for metric functionality (namespace, metric, dimension, serialization)
MetricManager creates metrics asynchronously thanks to CloudWatch Embedded Metric Format (EMF). CloudWatch EMF can create up to 100 metrics per EMF object and metrics, dimensions, and namespace created via MetricManager will adhere to the schema, will be serialized and validated against EMF Schema.

:str
- Dimension name
value
:str
- Dimension value

- Metadata key
value
:any
- Metadata value

Adds given metric
Example
Add given metric using MetricUnit enum
metric.add_metric(name="BookingConfirmation", unit=MetricUnit.Count, value=1)
Add given metric using plain string as value unit
metric.add_metric(name="BookingConfirmation", unit="Count", value=1)
Add given metric with MetricResolution non default value
