package com.codahale.metrics;
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();
}
};
Type parameters: - <T> – the type of the metric's value
