alumet 0.8.0

Modular framework for hardware and software measurement (including energy consumption and more).
Documentation
//! Definition of metrics.
//!
//! A metric is defined by the following data:
//! - a unique name
//! - a description
//! - a type of measured value
//! - a measurement unit
//!
//! This information is stored in the [`Metric`] struct.
//!
//! # Metric identifiers
//! In addition to this definition, Alumet assigns a unique id to each metric,
//! which is used to refer to a metric from anywhere in the program.
//! This id can exist in two forms:
//! - A [`RawMetricId`], which is the most basic form of metric id, and does not offer any compile-time type safety.
//! - A [`TypedMetricId`], which carries some information about the metric and allows
//! to check the type of the measured values at compile time. It is a zero-cost wrapper around a `RawMetricId`.
//!
//! # Registering new metrics
//! Metrics can only be registered during the plugin startup phase.
//! To register new metrics, use [`AlumetPluginStart::create_metric`](crate::plugin::AlumetPluginStart::create_metric)
//! or [`AlumetPluginStart::create_metric_untyped`](crate::plugin::AlumetPluginStart::create_metric).
//! You can then pass the id around.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use alumet::plugin::AlumetPluginStart;
//! use alumet::metrics::TypedMetricId;
//! use alumet::units::Unit;
//!
//! # fn start(alumet: &mut AlumetPluginStart) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
//! let my_metric: TypedMetricId<u64> = alumet.create_metric::<u64>(
//!     "cpu_voltage",
//!     Unit::Volt,
//!     "Voltage of the CPU socket, measured by the internal shunt."
//! )?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
