Interface Gauge<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the metric's value

@ConsumerType
public interface Gauge<T>

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();
     }
 };
 

A Gauge instance should be registered with OSGi ServiceRegistry with Gauge#NAME set to Gauge name. Then the Gauge instance would be registered with MetricService via whiteboard pattern
