Dimensions are not combined and can only be viewed separately on AWS

  • Amazon Web Services Cloud Watch Metrics library version: 1.0.0
  • Python version: 3.6
  • Operating System: MacOS

Description

I was trying to replace my existing CloudWatch code (see below) with a version using this library. The metrics are sent up fine, but the dimensions are not being combined as they should. Sending up Purpose and Stage using my existing code created a combinatorial view on CloudWatch, whereas using this library only creates the individual views Purpose and Stage. See the screenshot below. The metrics in Purpose, Stage are no longer updated after switching to this library.

What I Did

Old Code

cloudwatch = boto3.client(
            service_name="cloudwatch",
            region_name=env["AWS_DEPLOYED_REGION"],
            api_version="2010-08-01"
)
cloudwatch.put_metric_data(
        Namespace="myNameSpace",
        MetricData=[
            {
                "MetricName": name,
                "Dimensions": [
                    {"Name": "Stage", "Value": env["STAGE"]},
                    {"Name": "Purpose", "Value": env["PURPOSE"]},
                ],
                "Values": value,
                "StorageResolution": 60,
                "Unit": unit,
            },
        ],
    )

New Code

import awsme
cloudwatch = awsme.create_cloud_watch(
            namespace="myNameSpace",
            dimensions={"Stage": env["STAGE"], "Purpose": env["PURPOSE"]},
            region_name=env["AWS_DEPLOYED_REGION"],
            api_version="2010-08-01",
            asynchronous=True,
            buffered=True,
        )
cloudwatch.log(name, value=value, unit=unit, storage_resolution=60)

Nevermind, I fixed it on my end. Sorry for the inconvenience!
