Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
CONCURRENT_GAUGE A concurrent gauge counts the number of parallel invocations of a target (method).
COUNTER A Counter monotonically increases its values.
GAUGE A Gauge has values that 'arbitrarily' goes up/down at each sampling.
HISTOGRAM A Histogram calculates the distribution of a value.
INVALID Invalid - Placeholder
METERED A Meter measures the rate at which a set of events occur.
TIMER A timer aggregates timing durations and provides duration statistics, plus throughput statistics

Enum Constant Detail

CONCURRENT_GAUGE

public static final MetricType CONCURRENT_GAUGE

A concurrent gauge counts the number of parallel invocations of a target (method). Upon entering the target the value is increased. It is decreased again upon exiting the target.

COUNTER

public static final MetricType COUNTER

A Counter monotonically increases its values. An example could be the number of Transactions committed.

GAUGE

public static final MetricType GAUGE

A Gauge has values that 'arbitrarily' goes up/down at each sampling. An example could be CPU load

METERED

public static final MetricType METERED

A Meter measures the rate at which a set of events occur. An example could be amount of Transactions per Hour.

HISTOGRAM

public static final MetricType HISTOGRAM

A Histogram calculates the distribution of a value.

TIMER

public static final MetricType TIMER

A timer aggregates timing durations and provides duration statistics, plus throughput statistics

INVALID

public static final MetricType INVALID

Invalid - Placeholder

Method Detail

values

public static MetricType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (MetricType c : MetricType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MetricType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<MetricType>

from

public static MetricType from(String in)

Convert the string representation into an enum

Parameters:

in - the String representation

Returns:

the matching Enum

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if in is not a valid enum value

from

public static MetricType from(Class<?> in)

Convert the metric Java class into a MetricType

Parameters:

in - The metric class

Returns:

the matching MetricType value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if in is not a valid metric class
