AsynchronousInstrument (opentelemetry-api 0.12.0 API)

Type Parameters:

R - the callback Result type.

All Superinterfaces:

Instrument

All Known Subinterfaces:

DoubleSumObserver, DoubleUpDownSumObserver, DoubleValueObserver, LongSumObserver, LongUpDownSumObserver, LongValueObserver
```
@ThreadSafe
public interface AsynchronousInstrument<R extends AsynchronousInstrument.Result>
extends Instrument
```
AsynchronousInstrument is an interface that defines a type of instruments that are used to report measurements asynchronously.
They are reported by a callback, once per collection interval, and lack Context. They are permitted to report only one value per distinct label set per period. If the application observes multiple values for the same label set, in a single callback, the last value is the only value kept.

```
@Deprecated
void setCallback(AsynchronousInstrument.Callback<R> callback)
```
    Deprecated.
    Please register the callback while building the instrument. This method will be deprecated in 0.13.0.
    
    Sets a callback that gets executed every collection interval.
    Evaluation is deferred until needed, if this AsynchronousInstrument metric is not exported then it will never be called.
    
    Parameters:
    
    callback - the callback to be executed before export.
