lf-metric-emitter

This tool encapsulates the code needed to emit metrics to the Sasquatch InfluxDB stack. https://sasquatch.lsst.io/index.html

To utilize this tool, two environment variables must be set:

1. BENCHMARK_ENV should be set to something consistent, for instance, github-ci, epic, local-desktop-1, etc.
2. KAFKA_API_URL should be set to the full url. See the Sasquatch documentation for the specific URL.

You'll also need to manually create a Kafka topic to receive the metrics that are emitted. Again, see the Sasquatch documentation for instructions.

With the Kafka topic created, and the environmental variables, metrics can be emitted like so:

# result from a timing bench mark
my_result = 42.0

emitter = Emitter(namespace='lsst.lf',
                 name='ssppIncubator.bench',
                 module='PPApplyColourOffset',
                 benchmark_type:'runtime',
                 benchmark_unit:'s')


emitter.set_value(my_result)
emitter.emit()
