Interface GaugeDataPoint

All Superinterfaces:

DataPoint, TimerApi

All Known Implementing Classes:

Gauge

public interface GaugeDataPoint
extends DataPoint, TimerApi

Represents a single gauge data point, i.e. a single line for a gauge metric in Prometheus text format.

See JavaDoc of CounterDataPoint on how using data points directly can improve performance.

get

double get()

Get the current value.

setWithExemplar

startTimer

default Timer startTimer()

Description copied from interface: TimerApi

Start a Timer. Example:

Histogram histogram = Histogram.builder()
        .name("http_request_duration_seconds")
        .help("HTTP request service time in seconds")
        .unit(SECONDS)
        .labelNames("method", "path")
        .register();

try (Timer timer = histogram.labelValues("GET", "/").startTimer()) {
    // duration of this code block will be observed.
}

Durations are recorded in seconds. The Prometheus instrumentation guidelines say: "Metrics must use base units (e.g. seconds, bytes) and leave converting them to something more readable to graphing tools".
