      • COUNTER

        public static final MetricType COUNTER
        A Counter monotonically in-/decreases its values. An example could be the number of Transactions committed.

    • 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
        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 class type into an enum
        Parameters:
        in - The metric class type
        Returns:
        the matching Enum
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if in is not a valid enum value
