Calculate Error Rate from Log Stream in Python

Parses a mock log stream to count errors and compute the error percentage using a rolling window of recent entries.

logging regex error-rate
Python
import re
from collections import deque

def error_rate_from_log_stream(message):
    log_pattern = r'^\[(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})\] (ERROR|INFO|DEBUG): (.*)$'
    recent_entries = deque(maxlen=100)
    error_count = 0
    total_count = 0

Generate Synthetic SRE Metrics and Calculate Availability in Python

Create realistic service metrics with random latency, error rate, and request counts, then compute availability and summarize the stream for SLO checks.

Python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def generate_service_metrics(service_name: str, minutes: int = 30) -> list[dict]:
    """Generate synthetic SRE metrics for a service across recent minutes."""
    metrics = []

How to Build a Metrics Counter with Increment and Snapshot in Python

A simple dict-backed MetricsCounter class that increments named counters and returns a snapshot of the current values.

metrics counter observability
Python
class MetricsCounter:
    def __init__(self):
        self._metrics = {}

    def increment(self, key, delta=1):
        self._metrics[key] = self._metrics.get(key, 0) + delta

    def snapshot(self):
        return dict(self._metrics)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    counter = MetricsCounter()
