Hi Xintong, Yes, initializing the metric in the `open` method works, but it doesn't solve my problem. I want to initialize the metric with a name that is extracted from the record content. Only in the `invoke` method i can do it.
Actually my scenario is as follows. The record is MySQL binlog info. I want to monitor the qps by tableName. The tableName is different for every record.

Hi Lei, I think you should initialize the metric in the `open` method. Then you can save the initialized metric as a class field, and update it in the `invoke` method for each record. Thank you~ Xintong Song On Fri, Jul 3, 2020 at 11:50 AM wangl...@geekplus.com.cn <wangl...@geekplus.com.cn> wrote: In one flink operator, i want to initialize multiple flink metrics according to message content. As the code below. public void invoke(ObjectNode node, Context context) throws Exception { String tableName = node.get("metadata").get("topic").asText(); Meter meter = getRuntimeContext().getMetricGroup().meter(tableName, new MeterView(10)); meter.markEvent(); log.info("### counter: " + meter.toString() + "\t" + meter.getCount()); But in this way every invoke call will initialize a new metrics and the count will be from zero again. How can i reuse the metric initialized before? Thanks, Lei wangl...@geekplus.com.cn
