=============



|ci status| |pypi| |python| |cov| |docs| |license|



`aioprometheus` is a Prometheus Python client library for asyncio-based

applications. It provides metrics collection and serving capabilities for

use with Prometheus and compatible monitoring systems. It supports exporting

metrics into text and pushing metrics to a gateway.



The ASGI middleware in `aioprometheus` can be used in FastAPI/Starlette and

Quart applications. `aioprometheus` can also be used in other kinds of asyncio

applications too.



The project documentation can be found on

`ReadTheDocs `_.



Install

-------



.. code-block:: console



    $ pip install aioprometheus



The ASGI middleware does not have any external dependencies but the Starlette

and Quart convenience functions that handle metrics requests do.



If you plan on using the ASGI middleware in a Starlette / FastAPI application

then you can install the extra dependencies alongside `aioprometheus` by adding

extras to the install.



.. code-block:: console



    $ pip install aioprometheus[starlette]



If you plan on using the ASGI middleware in a Quart application then you can

install the extra dependencies alongside `aioprometheus` by adding extras

to the install.



.. code-block:: console



    $ pip install aioprometheus[quart]



A Prometheus Push Gateway client and a HTTP service are included, but their

dependencies are not installed by default. You can install them alongside

`aioprometheus` by adding extras to the install.



.. code-block:: console



    $ pip install aioprometheus[aiohttp]



Multiple optional dependencies can be listed at once, such as:



.. code-block:: console



    $ pip install aioprometheus[aiohttp,starlette,quart]



Usage

-----



There are two basic steps involved in using aioprometheus; the first is to

instrument your software by creating metrics to monitor events and the second

is to expose the metrics to a collector.



Creating a new metric is easy. First, import the appropriate metric from

aioprometheus. In the example below it's a Counter metric. Next, instantiate

the metric with a name and a help string. Finally, update the metric when an

event occurs. In this case the counter is incremented.



.. code-block:: python



    from aioprometheus import Counter



    events_counter = Counter(

        "events_counter",

        "Total number of events.",

    )



    events_counter.inc({"kind": "event A"})



By default, metrics get registered into the default collector registry which

is available at ``aioprometheus.REGISTRY``.



A number of convenience decorator functions are included in aioprometheus that

can assist with automatically updating metrics. The ``examples`` directory

contains various decorators examples.



Once your software is instrumented with various metrics you'll want to

expose them to Prometheus or a compatible metrics collector. There are

multiple strategies available for this and the right choice depends on the

kind of thing being instrumented.



If you are instrumenting a Starlette, FastAPI or Quart application then the

easiest option for adding Prometheus metrics is to use the ASGI Middleware

provided by `aioprometheus`.



The ASGI middleware provides a default set of metrics that include counters

for total requests received, total responses sent, exceptions raised and

response status codes for route handlers.



The example below shows how to use the aioprometheus ASGI middleware in a

FastAPI application. FastAPI is built upon Starlette so using the middleware

in Starlette would be the same.



.. code-block:: python



    from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Response



    from aioprometheus import Counter, MetricsMiddleware

    from aioprometheus.asgi.starlette import metrics



    app = FastAPI()



    # Any custom application metrics are automatically included in the exposed

    # metrics. It is a good idea to attach the metrics to 'app.state' so they

    # can easily be accessed in the route handler - as metrics are often

    # created in a different module than where they are used.

    app.state.users_events_counter = Counter("events", "Number of events.")



    app.add_middleware(MetricsMiddleware)

    app.add_route("/metrics", metrics)



    @app.get("/")

    async def root(request: Request):

        return Response("FastAPI Middleware Example")



    @app.get("/users/{user_id}")

    async def get_user(

        request: Request,

        user_id: str,

    ):

        request.app.state.users_events_counter.inc({"path": request.scope["path"]})

        return Response(f"{user_id}")



    if __name__ == "__main__":

        import uvicorn



        uvicorn.run(app)



Other examples in the ``examples/frameworks`` directory show how aioprometheus

can be used within various web application frameworks.



The next example shows how to use the Service HTTP endpoint to provide a

dedicated metrics endpoint for other applications such as long running

distributed system processes.



The Service object requires optional extras to be installed so make sure you

install aioprometheus with the 'aiohttp' extras.



.. code-block:: console



    $ pip install aioprometheus[aiohttp]



.. code-block:: python



    """

    This example demonstrates how the ``aioprometheus.Service`` can be used to

    expose metrics on a HTTP endpoint.



    .. code-block:: console



        (env) $ python simple-service-example.py

        Serving prometheus metrics on: http://127.0.0.1:8000/metrics



    You can open the URL in a browser or use the ``curl`` command line tool to

    fetch metrics manually to verify they can be retrieved by Prometheus server.



    """



    import asyncio

    import socket



    from aioprometheus import Counter

    from aioprometheus.service import Service



    async def main():



        service = Service()

        events_counter = Counter(

            "events", "Number of events.", const_labels={"host": socket.gethostname()}

        )



        await service.start(addr="127.0.0.1", port=8000)

        print(f"Serving prometheus metrics on: {service.metrics_url}")



        # Now start another coroutine to periodically update a metric to

        # simulate the application making some progress.

        async def updater(c: Counter):

            while True:

                c.inc({"kind": "timer_expiry"})

                await asyncio.sleep(1.0)



        await updater(events_counter)



        # Finally stop server

        await service.stop()



    if __name__ == "__main__":



        try:

            asyncio.run(main())

        except KeyboardInterrupt:

            pass



A counter metric is used to track the number of while loop iterations executed

by the 'updater' coroutine. The Service is started and then a coroutine is

started to periodically update the metric to simulate progress.



The Service can be configured to bind to a user defined network interface and

port.



When the Service receives a request for metrics it forms a response by

rendering the contents of its registry into the appropriate format. By default

the Service uses the default collector registry, which is

``aioprometheus.REGISTRY``. The Service can be configured to use a different

registry by passing one in as an argument to the Service constructor.
