Functions

def single_metric(name: str, unit: MetricUnit, value: float, resolution: MetricResolution | int = 60, namespace: str | None = None, default_dimensions: Dict[str, str] | None = 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
from aws_lambda_powertools.metrics import MetricResolution

with single_metric(name="ColdStart", unit=MetricUnit.Count, value=1, resolution=MetricResolution.Standard, 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
from aws_lambda_powertools.metrics import MetricResolution

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

AmazonCloudWatchEMFProvider creates metrics asynchronously via CloudWatch Embedded Metric Format (EMF).

CloudWatch EMF can create up to 100 metrics per EMF object and metrics, dimensions, and namespace created via AmazonCloudWatchEMFProvider will adhere to the schema, will be serialized and validated against EMF Schema.

Use Metrics or single_metric() to create EMF metrics.

Environment Variables

POWERTOOLS_METRICS_NAMESPACE : str metric namespace to be set for all metrics POWERTOOLS_SERVICE_NAME : str service name used for default dimension

Raises

MetricUnitError

When metric unit isn't supported by CloudWatch

MetricResolutionError

When metric resolution isn't supported by CloudWatch

MetricValueError

When metric value isn't a number

SchemaValidationError

MetricResolutionError

When metric resolution is not supported by CloudWatch

def flush_metrics(self, raise_on_empty_metrics: bool = False) ‑> None

Manually flushes the metrics. This is normally not necessary, unless you're running on other runtimes besides Lambda, where the @log_metrics decorator already handles things for you.

Parameters

raise_on_empty_metrics : bool, optional

raise exception if no metrics are emitted, by default False

def log_metrics(self, lambda_handler: AnyCallableT | None = None, capture_cold_start_metric: bool = False, raise_on_empty_metrics: bool = False, **kwargs)

Decorator to serialize and publish metrics at the end of a function execution.

Be aware that the log_metrics *does call the decorated function (e.g. lambda_handler).

Example

Lambda function using tracer and metrics decorators

from aws_lambda_powertools import Metrics, Tracer

metrics = Metrics(service="payment")
tracer = Tracer(service="payment")

@tracer.capture_lambda_handler
@metrics.log_metrics
def handler(event, context):
        ...

Parameters

lambda_handler : Callable[[Any, Any], Any], optional

lambda function handler, by default None

capture_cold_start_metric : bool, optional

captures cold start metric, by default False

raise_on_empty_metrics : bool, optional

raise exception if no metrics are emitted, by default False

**kwargs

 

Raises

e

Propagate error received

def serialize_metric_set(self, metrics: Dict | None = None, dimensions: Dict | None = None, metadata: Dict | None = None) ‑> CloudWatchEMFOutput

Serializes metric and dimensions set

Parameters

metrics : Dict, optional

Dictionary of metrics to serialize, by default None

dimensions : Dict, optional

Dictionary of dimensions to serialize, by default None

metadata : Dict, optional

Dictionary of metadata to serialize, by default None

Example

Serialize metrics into EMF format

metrics = MetricManager()
# ...add metrics, dimensions, namespace
ret = metrics.serialize_metric_set()

Returns

Dict

Serialized metrics following EMF specification

Raises

SchemaValidationError

Raised when serialization fail schema validation

def set_default_dimensions(self, **dimensions) ‑> None

Persist dimensions across Lambda invocations

Parameters

dimensions : Dict[str, Any], optional

metric dimensions as key=value

Example

Sets some default dimensions that will always be present across metrics and invocations

from aws_lambda_powertools import Metrics

metrics = Metrics(namespace="ServerlessAirline", service="payment")
metrics.set_default_dimensions(environment="demo", another="one")

@metrics.log_metrics()
def lambda_handler():
    return True

def set_timestamp(self, timestamp: int | datetime.datetime)

Set the timestamp for the metric.

Parameters:

timestamp: int | datetime.datetime The timestamp to create the metric. If an integer is provided, it is assumed to be the epoch time in milliseconds. If a datetime object is provided, it will be converted to epoch time in milliseconds.

Create a collection of name/value pairs.

Example enumeration:

>>> class Color(Enum):

Access them by:

• attribute access:

• value lookup:

• name lookup:

Enumerations can be iterated over, and know how many members they have:

[<Color.RED: 1>, <Color.BLUE: 2>, <Color.GREEN: 3>]

Methods can be added to enumerations, and members can have their own attributes – see the documentation for details.

class Metrics (service: str | None = None, namespace: str | None = None, provider: AmazonCloudWatchEMFProvider | None = None)

Metrics create an CloudWatch EMF object with up to 100 metrics

Use Metrics when you need to create multiple metrics that have dimensions in common (e.g. service_name="payment").

Metrics up to 100 metrics in memory and are shared across all its instances. That means it can be safely instantiated outside of a Lambda function, or anywhere else.

A decorator (log_metrics) is provided so metrics are published at the end of its execution. If more than 100 metrics are added at a given function execution, these metrics are serialized and published before adding a given metric to prevent metric truncation.

Example

Creates a few metrics and publish at the end of a function execution

from aws_lambda_powertools import Metrics

metrics = Metrics(namespace="ServerlessAirline", service="payment")

@metrics.log_metrics(capture_cold_start_metric=True)
def lambda_handler():
    metrics.add_metric(name="BookingConfirmation", unit="Count", value=1)
    metrics.add_dimension(name="function_version", value="$LATEST")

    return True

Environment Variables

POWERTOOLS_METRICS_NAMESPACE : str metric namespace POWERTOOLS_SERVICE_NAME : str service name used for default dimension

Parameters

service : str, optional

service name to be used as metric dimension, by default "service_undefined"

namespace : str, optional

Namespace for metrics

provider : AmazonCloudWatchEMFProvider, optional

Pre-configured AmazonCloudWatchEMFProvider provider

Raises

MetricUnitError

When metric unit isn't supported by CloudWatch

MetricResolutionError

When metric resolution isn't supported by CloudWatch

MetricValueError

When metric value isn't a number
