Instrumenting custom code
editInstrumenting custom code
editElastic APM instruments a variety of libraries out of the box, but sometimes you need to know how long a specific function took or how often it gets called.
You can apply the @elasticapm.capture_span()
decorator to achieve exactly that.
It can also be used as a context manager in the following way:
import elasticapm @elasticapm.capture_span() def coffee_maker(strength): fetch_water() with elasticapm.capture_span('near-to-machine'): insert_filter() for i in range(strengh): pour_coffee() start_drip() fresh_pots()
See the API docs for more information on capture_span
.
