A Prometheus metrics exporter for Python concurrent.futures executors. Provides instrumented drop-in replacements for ThreadedPoolExecutor and ProcessPoolExecutor.

Usage

from executor_exporter import ThreadPoolExecutor
# or
from executor_exporter import ProcessPoolExecutor

If you stick to the public APIs of concurrent.future executors (consisting of __init__, submit, map and shutdown methods), you just need to replace the builtin executor with its instrumented version provided by this package.

The provided executors act as proxies for the builtin executor while collecting the following metrics:

Name Type Labels Description
python_executor_max_workers counter executor, executor_type Max workers accumulated by executor, i.e. instances with same executor_id
python_executor_initialized_workers counter executor, executor_type Number of workers initialized by the executor
python_executor_submitted_tasks counter executor, executor_type Number of tasks submitted to the executor
python_executor_task_wait_seconds histogram executor, executor_type Time elapsed between tasks submission and start
python_executor_running_tasks_total gauge executor, executor_type Number of started tasks not yet done
python_executor_tasks_duration_seconds histogram executor, executor_type, result Duration of tasks done by the executor, segmented by result (completed or failed)

The __init__ methods of the instrumented executors take an additional exporter_id : Optional[str] parameter, used as the value for exporter metric label. If your use multiple executor instances of the same type you can measure them separately by defining a unique id for each instance. Conversely, by using the same id across multiple instances their metrics will be combined and exported as if they came from a single instance.

Custom executors

The instrumented executors are just wrappers around the builtin executors provided for convenience, while InstrumentedExecutorProxy does the heavy-lifting. If you're using a custom executor, you can wrap it like this:

from executor_exporter import InstrumentedExecutorProxy, ExecutorExporter

max_workers = 42
executor = YourCustomExecutor(max_workers)
exporter = ExecutorExporter(executor)

instrumented_executor = InstrumentedExecutorProxy(executor, exporter, max_workers)
