Enum Constant Detail

• 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

• 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

• 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(java.lang.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:

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

  java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

• toString

  public java.lang.String toString()

  Overrides:

  toString in class java.lang.Enum<MetricType>

• from

  public static MetricType from(java.lang.String in)

  Convert the string representation into an enum

  Parameters:

  in - the String representation (NOT the class name but rather a string like "counter", "gauge",...)

  Returns:

  the matching Enum

  Throws:

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if in is not a valid enum value

• from

  public static MetricType from(java.lang.Class<?> in)

  Convert the metric Java class into a MetricType

  Parameters:

  in - The metric class

  Returns:

  the matching MetricType value

  Throws:

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if in is not a valid metric class

• fromClassName

  public static MetricType fromClassName(java.lang.String className)

  Convert the metric Java class name into a MetricType

  Parameters:

  className - The name of a metric class

  Returns:

  the matching MetricType value

  Throws:

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if className is not a valid metric class
