LambdaSharp Function Metrics

Class ALambdaFunction

The ALambdaFunction custom metrics are organized by [Stack,Function] and [Stack] dimensions where:

  • Stack is the CloudFormation stack name.
  • Function is the Lambda function name.
Name Unit Description
LogError.Count Count Number of error statements logged.
LogFatal.Count Count Number of fatal error statements logged.
LogWarning.Count Count Number of warning statements logged. This count includes errors logged as warnings.

AWS Metrics

In addition, Lambda emits the following metrics organized by [FunctionName], [Resource], [ExecutedVersion], and [(none)] dimension where:

  • FunctionName is the aggregate metrics for all versions and aliases of a function.
  • Resource is the metrics for a version or alias of a function.
  • ExecutedVersion is metrics for a combination of alias and version. Use the ExecutedVersion dimension to compare error rates for two versions of a function that are both targets of a weighted alias.
  • (none) is the aggregate metrics for all functions in the current AWS Region.
Name Unit Description
ConcurrentExecutions Count The number of function instances that are processing events. If this number reaches your concurrent executions limit for the Region, or the reserved concurrency limit that you configured on the function, additional invocation requests are throttled.
DeadLetterErrors Count For asynchronous invocation, the number of times Lambda attempts to send an event to a dead-letter queue but fails. Dead-letter errors can occur due to permissions errors, misconfigured resources, or size limits.
DestinationDeliveryFailures Count For asynchronous invocation, the number of times Lambda attempts to send an event to a destination but fails. Delivery errors can occur due to permissions errors, misconfigured resources, or size limits.
Duration Milliseconds The amount of time that your function code spends processing an event. For the first event processed by an instance of your function, this includes initialization time. The billed duration for an invocation is the value of Duration rounded up to the nearest 100 milliseconds.
Errors Count The number of invocations that result in a function error. Function errors include exceptions thrown by your code and exceptions thrown by the Lambda runtime. The runtime returns errors for issues such as timeouts and configuration errors. To calculate the error rate, divide the value of Errors by the value of Invocations.
Invocations Count The number of times your function code is executed, including successful executions and executions that result in a function error. Invocations aren't recorded if the invocation request is throttled or otherwise resulted in an invocation error. This equals the number of requests billed.
IteratorAge Milliseconds For event source mappings that read from streams, the age of the last record in the event. The age is the amount of time between when the stream receives the record and when the event source mapping sends the event to the function.
ProvisionedConcurrencyInvocations Count The number of times your function code is executed on provisioned concurrency.
ProvisionedConcurrencySpilloverInvocations Count The number of times your function code is executed on standard concurrency when all provisioned concurrency is in use.
ProvisionedConcurrencyUtilization Percent For a version or alias, the value of ProvisionedConcurrentExecutions divided by the total amount of provisioned concurrency allocated. For example, .5 indicates that 50 percent of allocated provisioned concurrency is in use.
ProvisionedConcurrentExecutions Count The number of function instances that are processing events on provisioned concurrency. For each invocation of an alias or version with provisioned concurrency, Lambda emits the current count.
Throttles Count The number of invocation requests that are throttled. When all function instances are processing requests and no concurrency is available to scale up, Lambda rejects additional requests with TooManyRequestsException. Throttled requests and other invocation errors don't count as Invocations or Errors.
UnreservedConcurrentExecutions Count For an AWS Region, the number of events that are being processed by functions that don't have reserved concurrency.

Class ALambdaQueueFunction<TMessage>

The ALambdaQueueFunction<TMessage> custom metrics are organized by [Stack,Function] and [Stack] dimensions where:

  • Stack is the CloudFormation stack name.
  • Function is the Lambda function name.
Name Unit Description
MessageFailed.Count Count Number of messages that failed processing, but have not been forwarded to the dead-letter queue.
MessageDead.Count Count Number of messages that failed processing and have been forwarded to the dead-letter queue.
MessageSuccess.Count Count Number of successfully processed messages.
MessageSuccess.Latency Milliseconds Number of milliseconds to successfully process a message once received.
MessageSuccess.Lifespan Seconds Number of seconds to successfully process a message from the time it was created.

NOTE: The lifespan of a message is determined by first checking for a custom SentTimestamp message attribute. If none is found, the built-in SQS SentTimestamp message attribute is used instead to determine when the message was created. The custom SentTimestamp attribute must a UNIX epoch timestamp in milliseconds stored as a String value.

AWS Metrics

In addition, SQS emits the following metrics organized by [QueueName] dimension where:

  • QueueName is the Amazon SQS queue name.
Name Unit Description
ApproximateAgeOfOldestMessage Seconds The approximate age of the oldest non-deleted message in the queue.
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesDelayed Count The number of messages in the queue that are delayed and not available for reading immediately.
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesNotVisible Count The number of messages that are in flight.
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible Count The number of messages available for retrieval from the queue.
NumberOfEmptyReceives Count The number of ReceiveMessage API calls that did not return a message.
NumberOfMessagesDeleted Count The number of messages deleted from the queue.
NumberOfMessagesReceived Count The number of messages returned by calls to the ReceiveMessage action.
NumberOfMessagesSent Count The number of messages added to a queue.
SentMessageSize Bytes The size of messages added to a queue.

For more details, consult the Amazon SQS metrics documentation.

Class ALambdaTopicFunction<TMessage>

The ALambdaTopicFunction<TMessage> custom metrics are organized by [Stack,Function] and [Stack] dimensions where:

  • Stack is the CloudFormation stack name.
  • Function is the Lambda function name.
Name Unit Description
MessageFailed.Count Count Number of messages that failed processing, but have not been forwarded to the dead-letter queue.
MessageDead.Count Count Number of messages that failed processing and have been forwarded to the dead-letter queue.
MessageSuccess.Count Count Number of successfully processed messages.
MessageSuccess.Latency Milliseconds Number of milliseconds to successfully process a message once received.
MessageSuccess.Lifespan Seconds Number of seconds to successfully process a message from the time it was created.

NOTE: The lifespan of a message is determined by first checking for a custom SentTimestamp message attribute. If none is found, the built-in SNS Timestamp is used instead to determine when the message was created. The custom SentTimestamp attribute must a UNIX epoch timestamp in milliseconds stored as a String value.

AWS Metrics

In addition, SNS emits the following metrics organized by [Application], [Application,Platform], [Country], [Platform], [TopicName], and [SMSType] dimensions where:
