| Metric | | public interface Metric (Code) | | Metrics are the information abstraction for the values manipulated
by the MetricsService. This includes the value itself, which can
be of various types, and meta-data about the value: how credible it
is, where it come from, when it was collected, etc.
|
| booleanValue | | boolean booleanValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a boolean. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a boolean.
|
| byteValue | | byte byteValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a byte. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a number that can coerced to a
byte.
|
| charValue | | char charValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a char. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a char.
|
| doubleValue | | double doubleValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a double. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a number that can be coerced to a
double.
|
| floatValue | | float floatValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a float. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a number that can be coerced to a
float.
|
| getCredibility | | double getCredibility()(Code) | | Returns the credibility of the value, as double in the range
0.0 (no knowledge) to 1.0 (perfect knowledge).
|
| getHalflife | | long getHalflife()(Code) | | Returns a numeric measure of how long the value is good for.
|
| getProvenance | | String getProvenance()(Code) | | Returns the source of the value, as a string with no semantics.
|
| getRawValue | | Object getRawValue()(Code) | | Returns the raw value. Use this only if you don't know what
type the value should be.
|
| getTimestamp | | long getTimestamp()(Code) | | Returns the time the value was collected or generated.
|
| getUnits | | String getUnits()(Code) | | Returns the units of the value. This is not currently used in
Cougaar
|
| intValue | | int intValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as an int. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a number that can be coerced to an
int.
|
| longValue | | long longValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a long. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a number that can be coerced to a
long.
|
| shortValue | | short shortValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a short. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a number that can be coerced to a
short.
|
| stringValue | | String stringValue()(Code) | | Returns the value as a String. The caller is assumed to know
that the value is, in fact, a String.
