CfnMetricFilter

class aws_cdk.aws_logs.CfnMetricFilter(scope, id, *, filter_pattern, log_group_name, metric_transformations, filter_name=None)

Bases: CfnResource

The AWS::Logs::MetricFilter resource specifies a metric filter that describes how CloudWatch Logs extracts information from logs and transforms it into Amazon CloudWatch metrics.

If you have multiple metric filters that are associated with a log group, all the filters are applied to the log streams in that group.

The maximum number of metric filters that can be associated with a log group is 100.

See:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-logs-metricfilter.html

Methods

add_deletion_override(path)

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

Parameters:

path (str) – The path of the value to delete.

Return type:

None

add_dependency(target)

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Return type:

None

add_depends_on(target)

(deprecated) Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Deprecated:

use addDependency

Stability:

deprecated

Return type:

None

add_metadata(key, value)

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:
  • key (str) –

  • value (Any) –

See:

Return type:

None

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

add_override(path, value)

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with “Properties.” (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example:

cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes", ["myattribute"])
cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType", "INCLUDE")

would add the overrides Example:

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    • The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types. Any intermediate keys will be created as needed.

  • value (Any) –

    • The value. Could be primitive or complex.

Return type:

None

add_property_deletion_override(property_path)

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

Parameters:

property_path (str) – The path to the property.

Return type:

None

add_property_override(property_path, value)

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

Parameters:
  • property_path (str) – The path of the property.

  • value (Any) – The value.

Return type:

None

apply_removal_policy(policy=None, *, apply_to_update_replace_policy=None, default=None)

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you’ve removed it from the CDK application or because you’ve made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

Parameters:
  • policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) –

  • apply_to_update_replace_policy (Optional[bool]) – Apply the same deletion policy to the resource’s “UpdateReplacePolicy”. Default: true

  • default (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The default policy to apply in case the removal policy is not defined. Default: - Default value is resource specific. To determine the default value for a resource, please consult that specific resource’s documentation.

See:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-attribute-deletionpolicy.html#aws-attribute-deletionpolicy-options

Return type:

None

get_att(attribute_name, type_hint=None)

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

Parameters:
  • attribute_name (str) – The name of the attribute.

  • type_hint (Optional[ResolutionTypeHint]) –

Return type:

Reference

get_metadata(key)

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:

key (str) –

See:

Return type:

Any

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

inspect(inspector)

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

Parameters:

inspector (TreeInspector) – tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Return type:

None

obtain_dependencies()

Retrieves an array of resources this resource depends on.

This assembles dependencies on resources across stacks (including nested stacks) automatically.

Return type:

List[Union[Stack, CfnResource]]

obtain_resource_dependencies()

Get a shallow copy of dependencies between this resource and other resources in the same stack.

Return type:

List[CfnResource]

override_logical_id(new_logical_id)

This can be used for resources across stacks (including nested stacks) and the dependency will automatically be removed from the relevant scope.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Return type:

None

replace_dependency(target, new_target)

Replaces one dependency with another.

Parameters:
Return type:

None

to_string()

a string representation of this resource

Attributes

CFN_RESOURCE_TYPE_NAME = 'AWS::Logs::MetricFilter'
cfn_options

Options for this resource, such as condition, update policy etc.

cfn_resource_type

AWS resource type.

creation_stack

return:

the stack trace of the point where this Resource was created from, sourced from the +metadata+ entry typed +aws:cdk:logicalId+, and with the bottom-most node +internal+ entries filtered.

filter_name

The name of the metric filter.

filter_pattern

A filter pattern for extracting metric data out of ingested log events.

log_group_name

The name of an existing log group that you want to associate with this metric filter.

logical_id

The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.

The logical ID of the element is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.

To override this value, use overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId).

Returns:

the logical ID as a stringified token. This value will only get resolved during synthesis.

metric_transformations

The metric transformations.

node

The tree node.

ref

Return a string that will be resolved to a CloudFormation { Ref } for this element.

If, by any chance, the intrinsic reference of a resource is not a string, you could coerce it to an IResolvable through Lazy.any({ produce: resource.ref }).

stack

The stack in which this element is defined.

CfnElements must be defined within a stack scope (directly or indirectly).

Static Methods

classmethod is_cfn_element(x)

Returns true if a construct is a stack element (i.e. part of the synthesized cloudformation template).

Uses duck-typing instead of instanceof to allow stack elements from different versions of this library to be included in the same stack.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

Returns:

The construct as a stack element or undefined if it is not a stack element.

classmethod is_cfn_resource(x)

Check whether the given object is a CfnResource.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

classmethod is_construct(x)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Parameters:

x (Any) – Any object.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

DimensionProperty

class CfnMetricFilter.DimensionProperty(*, key, value)

Bases: object

Specifies the CloudWatch metric dimensions to publish with this metric.

Because dimensions are part of the unique identifier for a metric, whenever a unique dimension name/value pair is extracted from your logs, you are creating a new variation of that metric.

For more information about publishing dimensions with metrics created by metric filters, see Publishing dimensions with metrics from values in JSON or space-delimited log events . .. epigraph:

Metrics extracted from log events are charged as custom metrics. To prevent unexpected high charges, do not specify high-cardinality fields such as ``IPAddress`` or ``requestID`` as dimensions. Each different value found for a dimension is treated as a separate metric and accrues charges as a separate custom metric.

To help prevent accidental high charges, Amazon disables a metric filter if it generates 1000 different name/value pairs for the dimensions that you have specified within a certain amount of time.

You can also set up a billing alarm to alert you if your charges are higher than expected. For more information, see `Creating a Billing Alarm to Monitor Your Estimated AWS Charges <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html>`_ .
Parameters:
  • key (str) – The name for the CloudWatch metric dimension that the metric filter creates. Dimension names must contain only ASCII characters, must include at least one non-whitespace character, and cannot start with a colon (:).

  • value (str) – The log event field that will contain the value for this dimension. This dimension will only be published for a metric if the value is found in the log event. For example, $.eventType for JSON log events, or $server for space-delimited log events.

MetricTransformationProperty

class CfnMetricFilter.MetricTransformationProperty(*, metric_name, metric_namespace, metric_value, default_value=None, dimensions=None, unit=None)

Bases: object

MetricTransformation is a property of the AWS::Logs::MetricFilter resource that describes how to transform log streams into a CloudWatch metric.

Parameters:
  • metric_name (str) – The name of the CloudWatch metric.

  • metric_namespace (str) – A custom namespace to contain your metric in CloudWatch. Use namespaces to group together metrics that are similar. For more information, see Namespaces .

  • metric_value (str) – The value that is published to the CloudWatch metric. For example, if you’re counting the occurrences of a particular term like Error , specify 1 for the metric value. If you’re counting the number of bytes transferred, reference the value that is in the log event by using $. followed by the name of the field that you specified in the filter pattern, such as $.size .

  • default_value (Union[int, float, None]) – (Optional) The value to emit when a filter pattern does not match a log event. This value can be null.

  • dimensions (Union[IResolvable, Sequence[Union[IResolvable, DimensionProperty, Dict[str, Any]]], None]) – The fields to use as dimensions for the metric. One metric filter can include as many as three dimensions. .. epigraph:: Metrics extracted from log events are charged as custom metrics.
