7.0.0 / 2023-07-15

Major release with a single breaking change: Python 3.7 is not supported anymore. Beyond that, three improvements based on various pull requests.

Added

  • Instrumentator now works without FastAPI. This is possible because every FastAPI app is also a Starlette app (but not the other way around). Or to be more specific: FastAPI uses Starlette for things like routing and middleware this package relies on. The change is backwards compatible, even type checkers like mypy should continue working. Thanks to @mvanderlee for proposing this in #280 and implementing it in #288.

  • Middleware also records duration without streaming in addition to the already existing total latency (i.e. the time consumed for streaming is not included in the duration value). The differentiation can be valuable as it shows the time to first byte.

    This mode is opt-in and can be enabled / used in several ways: The Instrumentator() constructor, the metrics.default() closure, and the metrics.latency() closure now come with the flag should_exclude_streaming_duration. The attribute modified_duration_without_streaming has been added to the metrics.Info class. Instances of metrics.Info are passed to instrumentation functions, where the added value can be used to set metrics.

    Thanks to @dosuken123 for proposing this in #291 and implementing it in #290.

  • Relaxed type of get_route_name argument to HTTPConnection. This allows developers to use the get_route_name function for getting the name of websocket routes as well. Thanks to @pajowu for proposing and implementing this feature in #276.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Dropped support for Python 3.7 which is has reached end-of-life.

6.1.0 / 2023-07-15

Added

  • Added label method to metric http_request_duration_seconds from default metrics. Thanks to @alcidesmig for implementing this in #251.

6.0.0 / 2023-03-20

Small release with a small breaking change leading to an increase of the major version according to semantic versioning.

Breaking change only affects users that have custom instrumentations that access info.response.body, a feature introduced with 5.10.0 few weeks ago. See below for more information.

Ask or discuss anything quick about the release in the discussion #239.

Added

  • BREAKING: Disabled passing response body to instrumentation functions. Moved behind whitelist that is empty by default. Changes a feature introduced with 5.10.0. Only affects users that have custom instrumentations that access info.response.body.

    Opt-in via new parameter body_handlers added to instrumentator constructor. Parameter takes list of pattern strings to match handlers. For old behavior, pass argument [r".*"] to match all handlers:

    instrumentator = Instrumentator(body_handlers=[r".*"])

    Motivation for change: Collecting body negatively impacts performance of responses with largish body.

    Thanks to @bbeattie-phxlabs for raising this issue in #234 and implementing it in #233 / #238.

5.11.2 / 2023-03-19

Fixed

  • Fixed info.response.body in instrumentation functions being wrongfully empty if response is not streamed. Affects a feature that was introduced with release 5.10.0 few weeks ago. Closed issue #236 and implemented in pull request #237.

5.11.1 / 2023-03-11

Fixed

  • Improved typing hints and enabled stricter rules for MyPy. Thanks to @tomtom103 for implementing this in #231.

5.11.0 / 2023-03-08

Minor release containing several fixes and a small enhancement. Fixes are related to multi process mode, a regression introduced with the previous release, and errors that started to occur with current versions of Starlette and FastAPI.

Ask or discuss anything quick about the release in the discussion #221.

Added

  • Adjusted the add() method to accept an arbitrary number of instrumentation functions as arguments instead of a single one. Non-breaking change. Implemented in pull request #230.

Fixed

  • Fixed multi process mode in expose() method that handles the /metrics endpoint. Due to reusing the registry assigned to the instrumentator it could lead to duplicated metrics. Now the endpoint follows recommendation from Prometheus client library documentation. Also improved multi process unit tests. Closed issue #228 and #227. Fixed in pull request #229.

  • Fixed NameError and "Duplicated timeseries..." errors that started to occur with latest versions of Starlette / FastAPI in combination with multiple middlewares. Instrumentation closures are now optional and the instrumentator handles this accordingly. Thanks to @alexted and others for reporting errors. Thanks to @frankie567 for pointing out the change in Starlette. Related to pull request #153 and issue #214. Closed issue #219. Done in pull request #220.

  • Added missing registry parameter to remaining metrics functions. This enables passing custom registry to other metrics functions than default. Related to pull request #153. Closed issue #219. Done in pull request #220.

5.10.0 / 2023-02-26

First release in several months. Includes new features and fixes from various contributors. Notable changes that might have an impact on existing setups is the automatic instrumentation of mounted apps and the deprecation of the lowercase prometheus_multiproc_dir environment variable.

Ask or discuss anything quick about the release in the discussion #221.

Added

  • Added smart handling of mounted apps. Previously the URL handler logic did not handle mounted apps and always returned just the prefix in that case. Based on code from elastic/apm-agent-python licensed under the permissive BSD-3-Clause License. Thanks to @LordGaav for proposing this enhancement / fix and implementing it in #208. Related to issues #31 and #121.

  • Added optional parameters metric_namespace and metric_subsystem to instrument() method to configure namespace and subsystem for all metric names. Check the README.md for more information. Thanks to @phbernardes for proposing this enhancement and implementing it in #193.

  • Added passthrough of body to info.response. This enables metrics that work based on data in the body. Thanks to everyone who brought this up in #76 and to @HadilD for implementing it in #203.

  • Allowed passing a custom registry to be used instead of using the default one. This would be useful in particular when testing multiple FastAPI apps (e.g. microservices) in the same tests run. Note that there are issues with the current implementation in certain corner cases. Thanks to @tiangolo for proposing this enhancement and implementing it in #153.

  • Environment variable used by should_respect_env_var (default ENABLE_METRICS) now accepts truthy values like 1 and true and not just True. Thanks to @chbndrhnns for proposing this enhancement in #27 and implementing it in #28.

  • Added support for asynchronous instrumentation functions. The add() method now accepts them in addition to "normal" functions and the instrumentator middleware will await them appropriately. Thanks to @AndreasPB for proposing this enhancement and implementing it in #61. Thanks to @Skeen for contributing to the discussion.

Changed

  • Licensed part of the project under the BSD-3-Clause License. This is due to code being used from a repo licensed under BSD-3-Clause (see the "Added" section). The default ISC License and the BSD-3-Clause License are both permissive. So there should be no user impact.

Fixed

  • Fixed status code in metric being "Hxx" when http.HTTPStatus enumeration is used in combination with grouping of status codes. Thanks to @Leem0sh and others for raising the issue in #190. Thanks to @nikstuckenbrock and @blag for fixing it in #192.

  • Fixed documentation in main README on how to use prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator with current versions of FastAPI. Related to issues #214 and #80. Thanks to @alfaro28 and @harochau.

Deprecated

  • Deprecated environment variable prometheus_multiproc_dir and replaced it with PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROC_DIR. This matches the behavior of the Prometheus Python client library. This fixes #89 and #50. Thanks to all the people who brought this up. Thanks to @michaelusner for implementing the deprecation in #42 / #217.

5.9.1 / 2022-08-23

Fixed

  • Corrected documention on how to use package. Instrumentation should happen in a function decorated with @app.on_event("startup") to prevent crashes on startup in certain situations. Done in #168. Thanks to @mdczaplicki and others.

5.9.0 / 2022-08-23

Added

  • Added py.typed file to package to improve typing annotations. Done in #137. Thanks to @mmaslowskicc for proposing and implementing this.

Changed

  • Changed license from MIT to ISC, which is just like MIT but shorter.
  • Coding style improvements. Replaced a few for loops with list comprehensions. Defaulting an argument to None instead of an empty list. Done in #155. Thanks to @yezz123.
  • Several improvements to the documentation. Thanks to @jabertuhin, @frodrigo, and @murphp15.

Fixed

5.8.2 / 2022-06-12

Changed

  • Refactored the middleware to an ASGI implementation. Related to #139. Thanks to @Kludex and @adriangb for the proposal and implementation.

5.8.1 / 2022-05-03

Fixed

  • Fixed a regression that made the required FastAPI version too strict for no reason. Related to #136. Thanks to @graipher for raising this issue.

5.8.0 / 2022-05-01

Removed

  • BREAKING: Dropped support for Python 3.6 which is has reached end-of-life.

5.7.1 / 2021-01-12

Fixed

  • Updated prometheus-client dependency version constraint ^0.8.0 that only allows versions in the range [0.8.0, 0.9.0[. This is not correct and leads to conflicts when you want to install the newest prometheus client library version and this package. Switched to explicit contraints to ensure this does not happen again.

5.7.0 / 2020-12-13

Added

  • Added passthrough of Kwargs to FastAPI route that exposes metrics.

5.6.0 / 2020-12-03

Added

  • Added parameter tags to method expose(). Passthrough to FastAPI to support tagging. Related to #17. Thanks to @chisaipete for proposing this enhancement.

5.5.1 / 2020-11-13

Fixed

  • Fixed error "Duplicate mime type charset=utf-8 on Response Header". Done by changing the way the content type header is set. Seems like when Starlette's media_type parameter is used to provide content type, the charset is appended again automatically even if it already is part of Content-Type. Thanks to @flobaader for raising this issue in #16.

5.5.0 / 2020-11-01

Added

  • Added new metrics closure requests. Thanks to @jpslopes for proposing this enhancement in #15.

Changed

  • Adjusted docstrings.

5.4.1 / 2020-10-22

Fixed

  • Fixed dependency regression introduced in 5.4.0 by pinning FastAPI dependency to fastapi = "0.38.1, <=1.0.0" instead of fastapi = ">=0.38.1, <=1.0.0". Thanks to @PaulFlanaganGenscape for raising this issue in #14.

5.4.0 / 2020-10-20

Added

  • Added new metric that monitors the number of requests in progress. Can be configured to have the labels handler and method. It can be activated with should_instrument_requests_inprogress and configured with inprogress_name and inprogress_labels.

5.3.1 / 2020-09-25

Fixed

  • Fixed expose method in the instrumentator ignoring the endpoint argument and always creating the endpoint with on the /metrics path. Variable was missing. Thanks to @funkybase for raising this issue in #9.

5.3.0 / 2020-09-09

Added

  • Added parameter should_gzip to expose method. It will check for gzip in the Accepted-Encoding header and gzip the metrics data. You can expect a reduction of around 90 % in bytes.

5.2.3 / 2020-09-03

Changed

  • Improved README.md.

5.2.2 / 2020-09-03

Changed

  • Improved README.md.

5.2.1 / 2020-08-27

Fixed

  • Fixed lack of error wrapping of a runtime error is raised inside the endpoint. In addition this instrumentator assumed that info.response will always contain the headers attribute which is not the case if a runtime error is thrown. Now the metrics check if the response is None and that the headers attribute actually exists. Tests have been added as well. Thanks to @stepf for raising this issue in #7.

Changed

  • Adjusted behavior Metrics response_size and combined_size no longer skip if content length is not found. Now the content length will default no zero bytes.

5.2.0 / 2020-08-22

Added

  • Added parameter should_only_respect_2xx_for_highr to default metrics. Allows you to only put successful requests into the high resolution bucket.

5.1.0 / 2020-08-19

Added

  • Added parameters to set namespace and subsystem to all available metrics.

5.0.0 / 2020-08-18

Added

  • Added labels handler, status, method to http_requests_total in default.
  • Added label handler to http_request_size_bytes.
  • Added label handler to http_response_size_bytes.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Renamed instrumentation full to default.
  • BREAKING: Renamed http_in_bytes_total to http_request_size_bytes.
  • BREAKING: Renamed http_out_bytes_total to http_response_size_bytes.
  • BREAKING: Renamed http_highr_request_duration_seconds to http_request_duration_highr_seconds.
  • BREAKING: Renamed http_lowr_request_duration_seconds to http_request_duration_seconds.
  • BREAKING: Turned http_request_size_bytes and http_response_size_bytes into summaries.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Removed labels method and status from http_request_duration_seconds.

4.0.0 / 2020-08-16

Added

  • Added proper documentation.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Switched the default fast track metric to a more advanced one.
  • BREAKING: Reworked available metrics. Made them more modular while improving code structure.

3.0.0 / 2020-08-15

A lot of breaking changes in this release. Prometheus FastAPI Instrumentator is now more modular than before and there are multiple different metrics one can choose from out of the box or add custom metrics that will be automatically applied to the FastAPI.

If you just use the default instrumentator without setting any parameters, nothing changes. The defaults stay the same.

If you use any of the paramters that were available in the Instrumentator constructor you have to check if they are still available or not. Some of them have been moved to the corresponding metric closure / function.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Endpoint /metrics is not excluded by default anymore.
  • BREAKING: Rework instrumentator layout.

2.0.1 / 2020-08-14

Changed

  • Fixed wrong var name in README.md.

2.0.0 / 2020-08-14

Added

  • Added option to exclude optional /metrics endpoint from schema.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Renamed should_respect_env_var_existence to should_respect_env_var.
  • BREAKING: If should_respect_env_var is True, the respective env var must be true and not just any random value.
  • BREAKING: Renamed default env var if should_respect_env_var from PROMETHEUS to ENABLE_METRICS.

1.3.0 / 2020-08-12

Added

  • Added option should_respect_env_var_existence. This makes it possible to only instrument and expose your FastAPI if a given environment variable is set. Use case: A base FastAPI app that is used by multiple distinct apps. The apps only have to set the variable to be instrumented. Deactivated by default and the default env var is PROMETHEUS.

1.2.0 / 2020-08-06

Added

  • The observed latency values can now be rounded to a certain number of decimals as an opt-in feature. This can improve bytes per sample required in storage solutions like VictoriaMetrics.

1.1.1 / 2020-07-19

Nothing. Dummy release.

1.1.0 / 2020-07-16

Changed

  • Renamed project from Prometheus FastAPI Exporter to Prometheus FastAPI Instrumentator. Reasoning behind this change: Focus of this project is the instrumentation, not exposition of metrics.

1.0.2 / 2020-07-15

Changed

  • Updated README.md

1.0.1 / 2020-07-15

Changed

  • Updated README.md

1.0.0 / 2020-07-15

Added

  • Explicit method to expose metrics by adding endpoint to an FastAPI app.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Switched to semantic versioning. All older versions have been yanked.
  • BREAKING: Split instrumentation and exposition into two parts. Why? There exist many ways to expose metrics. Now this package enables the instrumentation of FastAPI without enforcing a certain method of exposition. It is still possible with the new method expose().
  • BREAKING: Moved pass of FastAPI object from constructor to instrument() method.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Exposition of metrics endpoint from ìnstrument() call.
