Struct readings_probe::Probe

pub struct Probe(_);

The interface to reading probe.

Methods

impl Probe

pub fn new<W: Write + Send + 'static>(write: W) -> ReadingsResult<Probe>

Creates a probe logging its data to Write implementation (usually a file).

pub fn register_i64<S: AsRef<str>>(
    &mut self,
    name: S
) -> ReadingsResult<Arc<AtomicI64>>

Register an i64 used-defined metric.

Must be called prior to the first call to log_event or spawn_heartbeat.

The result is shared AtomicI64 that can be used by client code to share communicate updates with the probe.

TODO: type-enforce this using the Builder pattern

pub fn spawn_heartbeat(&mut self, interval: Duration) -> ReadingsResult<()>

Spawn a thread that will record all vitals at every "interval".

pub fn log_event(&self, event: &str) -> ReadingsResult<()>

Spawn a thread that will record all vitals at every "interval".

pub fn get_i64<S: AsRef<str>>(&self, name: S) -> Option<Arc<AtomicI64>>

Recover a pre-registered used-defined metrics from the probe.

The result is shared AtomicI64 that can be used by client code to share communicate updates with the probe.

It is more efficient for the client code to keep the shared AtomicI64 somewhere handy than calling this at every update. Nevertheless, it allows for intermediate code to just have to propagate the probe without worrying about the various metrics that the underlying code may need.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Probe

fn clone(&self) -> Probe

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
