This is similar to a topic I started in the Ideas section, and I was just about to try and start conversations again for it. Maybe the context I have is useful for this discussion? (this is less about context enter/exit, but more for task enter/exit, so understand if we aren’t really in the same ballpark here) > [@Add asyncio monitoring hooks](https://discuss.python.org/t/add-asyncio-monitoring-hooks/26426): > > [Similar previous discussion](https://discuss.python.org/t/adding-monitoring-hooks-to-the-event-loop/3448) As an APM vendor (Datadog), I’d love to be able to provide deeper insights/metrics about the asyncio event loop for our customers. Some of the metrics I have been thinking about so far are: Over the lifetime of the process total number of tasks created/finished total number of context switches min/avg/p95/p99/max/etc blocking time per-task run Per-task total number of context switches total blocking vs idle time I’d also like to be able to associate the per… --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.python.org/t/request-can-we-get-a-c-api-hook-into-pycontext-enter-and-pycontext-exit/51730)._
