Interface Gauge<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the metric's value
    All Superinterfaces:
    Metric
    Functional Interface:
    This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.


    @FunctionalInterface
    public interface Gauge<T>
    extends Metric
    A gauge metric is an instantaneous reading of a particular value. To instrument a queue's depth, for example:
    
     final Queue<String> queue = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<String>();
     final Gauge<Integer> queueDepth = new Gauge<Integer>() {
         public Integer getValue() {
             return queue.size();
         }
     };

        Returns the metric's current value.
        Returns:
        the metric's current value
