Meter.cs

Create a metrics Counter object.

public System.Diagnostics.Metrics.Counter<T> CreateCounter<T> (string name, string? unit = default, string? description = default) where T : struct;

member this.CreateCounter : string * string * string -> System.Diagnostics.Metrics.Counter<'T (requires 'T : struct)> (requires 'T : struct)

Public Function CreateCounter(Of T As Structure) (name As String, Optional unit As String = Nothing, Optional description As String = Nothing) As Counter(Of T)

Type Parameters

T

The numerical type of the measurement.

Parameters

name

String

The instrument name. Cannot be null.

unit

String

Optional instrument unit of measurements.

description

String

Optional instrument description.

Returns

Counter<T>
