Enum MetricType

Enumeration defining the metric types available. These match the types defined in the OpenMetrics specification.

public enum MetricType : int

Since 6.10.

Name	Description
COUNTER	Counters measure discrete events. Common examples are the number of HTTP requests received, CPU seconds spent, or bytes sent. Counters are always monotonic, and are typically used to count events.
GAUGE	Gauges are current measurements, such as bytes of memory currently used or the number of items in a queue.
GAUGE_HISTOGRAM	GaugeHistograms measure current distributions. Common examples are how long items have been waiting in a queue, or size of the requests in a queue.
HISTOGRAM	Histograms measure distributions of discrete events. Common examples are the latency of HTTP requests, function runtimes, or I/O request sizes.
INFO	Info metrics are used to expose textual information which SHOULD NOT change during process lifetime. Common examples are an application's version, revision control commit, and the version of a compiler.
STATE_SET	StateSets represent a series of related boolean values, also called a bitset.
SUMMARY	Like Histograms, Summaries measure distributions of discrete events and MAY be used when Histograms are too expensive and/or an average event size is sufficient.
UNKNOWN	An unknown metric type.
