Class Gauge<T>

java.lang.Object

com.yammer.metrics.core.Gauge<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the metric's value

All Implemented Interfaces:

Metric

Direct Known Subclasses:

JmxGauge, RatioGauge, ToggleGauge

public abstract class Gauge<T>
extends Object
implements 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 value() {
         return queue.size();
     }
 };
