:mrdocs:

Add the specified `publisher` to the set of publishers that will be used to propagate records for _every_ category published by this metrics manager. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value with no effect if `publisher` has already been registered. After this method returns, _any_ category published by this metrics manager will be published to `publisher`. Note that this method will have no effect and return a non‐zero value if `publisher` was previously registered for one or more specific categories (using the alternative `addSpecificPublisher` method).
