Static Member Functions

NameDescription
createUserDataKey Return a new unique key that can be used to associate (via setUserData) a value with a metric (or group of metrics). Optionally specify a metrics manager to configure. If manager is 0, configure the default metrics manager; if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized, then an unspecified integer value is returned. Note that the returned key can be used by clients of balm to associate additional information with a metric.
setFormat Set the format specification for the metric indicated by the specified category and metricName to the specified format. Optionally specify a metrics manager to configure. If manager is 0, configure the default metrics manager; if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized, this method has no effect. Return 0 on success, or a non-zero value if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized. If a MetricId does not exist for category and metricName, create one and add it to the metric registry of the indicated metrics manager.
setFormatSpec Set the format specification for the metric aggregate indicated by the specified category, metricName, and publicationType to the specified formatSpec. Optionally specify a metrics manager to configure. If manager is 0, configure the default metrics manager; if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized, this method has no effect. Return 0 on success, or a non-zero value if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized. If a MetricId does not exist for category and metricName, create one and add it to the metric registry of the indicated metrics manager. For example a publication type of e_AVG, and a format spec with a scale of 1000.0 and a format of "%.2f ms", indicates that the average value of the indicated metric should be formatted by scaling the value by 1000 and then rounding the value to the second decimal place and appending " ms".
setPreferredPublicationType Set the preferred publication type of the metric identified by the specified category and metricName to the specified publicationType. Optionally specify a metrics manager to configure. If manager is 0, configure the default metrics manager; if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized, this method has no effect. Return 0 on success, or a non-zero value if manager is 0 and the default metrics manager has not been initialized. The preferred publication type of a metric indicates the preferred aggregate to publish for that metric, or PublicationType::e_UNSPECIFIED if there is no preference. For example, specifying e_AVG indicates that the average value of the collected metric should be reported. If a MetricId does not exist for category and metricName, create one and add it to the metric registry of the indicated metrics manager. Note that there is no uniform definition for how publishers will interpret this value.
