Module aws_lambda_powertools.metrics.metrics

Classes

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

SchemaValidationError

When metric object fails EMF schema validation
