public interface IMonitoringRecord
extends Serializable, Comparable<IMonitoringRecord>

All Kieker monitoring records have to implement this minimal interface.

Warning: Objects within records should not contain ';', '\n', or '\r' in their respective toString() representation.

Nested Class Summary

static interface

IMonitoringRecord.Factory Any record that implements this interface has to conform to certain specifications.

Method Summary

long	getLoggingTimestamp() Delivers the current timestamp of the record.
Class<?>[]	getValueTypes() This method should deliver an array with the classes of the single values for the record.
void	initFromArray(Object[] values) This method should initialize the record based on the given values.
void	setLoggingTimestamp(long timestamp) Sets the logging timestamp to a new value.
Object[]	toArray() This method should deliver an array containing the content of the record.
String	toString() Creates a string representation of this record. This method should not be used for serialization purposes since this is not the purpose of Object's toString method.

Method Detail

getLoggingTimestamp

long getLoggingTimestamp()

Delivers the current timestamp of the record.

Returns:

The timestamp.

Since:

1.2

setLoggingTimestamp

void setLoggingTimestamp(long timestamp)

Sets the logging timestamp to a new value.

Parameters:

timestamp - The new timestamp for the record.

Since:

1.2

toArray

Object[] toArray()

This method should deliver an array containing the content of the record. It should be possible to convert this array later into a record again.

Returns:

An array with the values of the record.

Since:

1.2

toString

String toString()

Creates a string representation of this record.

This method should not be used for serialization purposes since this is not the purpose of Object's toString method.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A (human readable) string of this record.

Since:

1.5

initFromArray

void initFromArray(Object[] values)

This method should initialize the record based on the given values. The array should be one of those resulting from a call to toArray().

Parameters:

values - The values for the record.

Since:

1.2

getValueTypes

Class<?>[] getValueTypes()

This method should deliver an array with the classes of the single values for the record.

Returns:

The types of the values.

Since:

1.2
