Error while pushing metrics to datadog (AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get')

[mrigank002]

This is what my metrics is: metrics={ "series": [ { "type": "rate", "interval":1, "host": "GitLab", "metric": "thl.certificate.days.test", "tags": [ "source:vault", "sre-environment:dev", "sre-appstackcode:odccsm", "namespace:namespace", "name:name", "region:region", "trigram:trigram", "purpose:purpose" ], "points": [ [ time.time(), "5" ] ] } ] }

api.Metric.send(metrics=metrics)

error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/gitlab-runner/builds/wkpzw2iM/0/mcs/odc/certificate-operations/datadog_test.py", line 47, in api.Metric.send(metrics=metrics) File "/home/gitlab-runner/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datadog/api/metrics.py", line 109, in send return super(Metric, cls).send( File "/home/gitlab-runner/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datadog/api/resources.py", line 80, in send return APIClient.submit( File "/home/gitlab-runner/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datadog/api/api_client.py", line 145, in submit if obj_params.get("host", "") == "": AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

This obj_params is a dictionary and it should run .get method. But I don't know why it is throwing exception.

[mrigank002]

when I am running this code in my machine for tis dict it is working fine:

for obj_params in metrics["series"]: print(obj_params.get("host", ""))

Hi,

Sorry for not responding earlier. The issue is that you have a series key which should not be here. Here's a working example:

metrics = [
    {
        "type": "rate",
        "interval": 1,
        "host": "GitLab",
        "metric": "thl.certificate.days.test",                                                                                                                 
        "tags": [
            "source:vault",
            "sre-environment:dev",
            "sre-appstackcode:odccsm",                                                                                                                         
            "namespace:namespace",
            "name:name",
            "region:region",
            "trigram:trigram",                                                                                                                                 
            "purpose:purpose",
        ], 
        "points": [[time.time(), 5]],
    }
]

api.Metric.send(metrics=metrics)
