Classes
class	FileMetric
	FileMetric writes metric data to a file on disk. More...
class	GraphiteMetric
	Send a metric to Graphite. More...
struct	MetricData
	Small structure used to hold a metric data point before sending to the metric plugins More...
class	MetricManager
	The MetricManager class handles loading metric plugins and asynchronously sending metric data to them. It is designed to be a "black hole" for metrics, taking as little time as possible so that metrics do not impact the data-taking performance. More...
class	MetricPlugin
class	MsgFacilityMetric
	A MetricPlugin class which sends metric data to MessageFacility. More...
class	ProcFileMetric
	A MetricPlugin which writes a long unsigned int metric with a given name to a given pipe. More...
class	PeriodicReportMetric
	PeriodicReportMetric writes metric data to a file on disk. More...

Detailed Description

The artdaq namespace.

Typedef Documentation

typedef std::unique_ptr<artdaq::MetricPlugin> artdaq::makeFunc_t(fhicl::ParameterSet const &ps, std::string const &app_name)

Make a MetricPlugin instance, loading the plugin if necessary.

Parameters

ps	ParameterSet used to configure the MetricPlugin instance
app_name	Name of the application sending metrics

Returns

A std::unique_ptr<artdaq::MetricPlugin> to the new instance

Definition at line 19 of file MetricMacros.hh.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum artdaq::MetricMode

strong

The Mode of the metric indicates how multiple metric values should be combined within a reporting interval

Enumerator
LastPoint	Report only the last value recorded. Useful for event counters, run numbers, etc.
Accumulate	Report the sum of all values. Use for counters to report accurate results.
Average	Report the average of all values. Use for rates to report accurate results.
Rate	Reports the sum of all values, divided by the length of the time interval they were accumulated over. Use to create rates from counters.
AccumulateAndRate	Sends both the Accumulate mode and Rate mode metric. (Rate mode metric will append "/s" to metric units.)

enum artdaq::MetricType

strong

This enumeration is used to identify the type of the metric instance (which value should be extraced from the union)

Enumerator
InvalidMetric	Default, invalid value.
StringMetric	Metric is a std::string (not in union)
IntMetric	Metric is an int.
DoubleMetric	Metric is a double.
FloatMetric	Metric is a float.
UnsignedMetric	Metric is a long unsigned int.

Function Documentation

std::unique_ptr< artdaq::MetricPlugin > artdaq::makeMetricPlugin	(	std::string const &	generator_plugin_spec,
		fhicl::ParameterSet const &	ps,
		std::string const &	app_name
	)

Load a given MetricPlugin and return a pointer to it.

Parameters

generator_plugin_spec	Name of the MetricPlugin
ps	ParameterSet with which to configure the MetricPlugin
app_name	Application name of the calling application

Returns

std::unique_ptr to the new MetricPlugin instance
