Hope that helps!

Prometheus, which is also a CNCF open source project, collects metrics data by scraping HTTP endpoints and then stores that data in a time series database that uses a multidimensional model. It’s a powerful tool for gathering metrics about your application and it also includes alerting functionality that you can use to notify your teams when issues come up. Prometheus includes a client library for Python.

We have a java one but the principle is the same. Install the Prometheus client ( https://github.com/prometheus/client_python) ,create the metrics you want, then push jmx settings to Prometheus.

The code above is copied from the official documentation of prometheus_client which simply creates a new metric named request_processing_seconds that measures the time spent on that particular request. We'll cover other types of metrics later in this post.

Just use the client? https://github.com/prometheus/client_python

I've experimented with the official Prometheus python client, i really really like the way they use decorators to instrument. I've tried to measure latency with multiple types of metrics (histogram, & summary), i see the value in both of them, but the one that between fits my objective is the histogram metric type. Great!

Now is a good time to expand your event loop by adding metrics collection of the event handler functions and also use that endpoint as a liveness probe. E.g. https://github.com/prometheus/client_python just add the event handled, success/error and the duration as a histogram (look for examples of tracking http requests served)

I've spent along time trying to figure out a bug that I'm facing while using Prometheus from its python client.

The official Prometheus Python client library makes this easy, no need to worry about the export file format.
