On a native deepstream app, we are able to get the frame latency and plugin latency, by enabling latency measurement with below commands.  
export NVDS\_ENABLE\_LATENCY\_MEASUREMENT=1  
export NVDS\_ENABLE\_COMPONENT\_LATENCY\_MEASUREMENT=1

Please let me know, how we can we can get similar latency measurements for a python based deepstream pipeline.

These capabilities are exposed via the deepstream API :  
[https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/4.0/dev-guide/DeepStream\_Development\_Guide/baggage/group\_\_ee\_\_nvlatency\_\_group.html](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/4.0/dev-guide/DeepStream_Development_Guide/baggage/group __ee__ nvlatency__group.html)

So you should be able to use these APIs directly from your python code.

I hope this note helps.
