Amazon S3 client total request count

Hello, i need some help in something i assume it's easy but i need to be 100% sure.

I have an s3client that i use to make some requests to amazon s3. Now i need to log the total GET/POST/PUT/DELETE requests i do. I assume it's only 1 request per call, but to be 100% sure i prefer to ask here how can i check this.

The idea is to have methods like:

    Public Function GetObjectMetadata(metadataRequest As GetObjectMetadataRequest) As GetObjectMetadataResponse
        GetRequests += 1
        Return S3Client.GetObjectMetadata(metadataRequest)
    End Function

    Public Function GetObjectMetadata(metadataRequest As GetObjectMetadataRequest) As GetObjectMetadataResponse
        GetRequests += 1
        Return S3Client.GetObjectMetadata(metadataRequest)
    End Function

so when i do the "GetObjectMetadata" request, it adds 1 to the counter. So i need to be sure every mehtod i call does only 1 request, in case it does some extra requests i should then add something like "PostRequest += 1" or smth like that

That looks like VB, not C#.

How do you plan to handle restarts, or crashes? Is the object lifetime for your client always a singleton?

its a service i execute once every day and it start from 0 in every execution. It does some things and then ends and restart the next day.

Also for the C#/VB part, i assumed i could ask here since the s3Client is fully written in c# and here i only do a call to the api

what the S3 client is written in really doesnt matter

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:37 AM

you are not asking about the s3 client, you are asking about your wrapper

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:37 AM

regardless, the same questions apply - are you sure about the lifetimes here?

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:37 AM

like, if you do , your counts will reset

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:38 AM

so how accurate do you need your counts to be? When are they "reported" out of the system?

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:38 AM

yeah, this app should open, do something and end. This wrapper will execute once at the start of the lifetiume and will end with the end of the process

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:38 AM

ok so its a short-lived app?

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:39 AM

i just start it and at the end of the execution it will log it with somehting like:

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:39 AM

then this is fine, except that it wont handle failures very well

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:39 AM

and it will log it

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:39 AM

dw, the failures are handled in the main code

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:39 AM

but the counts will be potentially inaccurate, based on failures

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:40 AM

i used to do s3Client.MyRequest with a try catch and all that, now i just do the same but with a wrapper so i can add the request count without worrying about forgiving to add it

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:40 AM

well, thats something i will need to live with, it doesnt need to be 100% accurate, i just need it so someone can do some statistics and some numbers

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:41 AM

okay, yeah then thats fine

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:42 AM

but i assume when i call the api for a delete, for example, it will just do one delete request, right?

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:42 AM

i dont know how to check what it does in the backend

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:42 AM

it takes me to an interface so i cannot see the code and how it handles the requests

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:43 AM

I dont understand the question

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:43 AM

if you do , that will only do a delete

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:43 AM

it will not do posts, puts, gets etc

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:44 AM

the client fear is that it makes a Get and then a Delete, for example

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:44 AM

i assume it's well written and it will only do a Delete

NeRooNOP•7/9/24, 10:44 AM

but i need to make sure it is like that for the client

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:44 AM

so check the source for the s3client?

Pobiega•7/9/24, 10:44 AM

but yeah, I would be very surprised if it did anything else
