| Obtain an array of samples from a specified sample name.
The specified path parameter identifies a sample, hierarchically from
Instrumentable name to Instrument name, to Instrument sample name
(including any child Instrumentables) using the '.' character as a
separator.
eg: instrument-manager.active-thread-count.maximum_1000_600
The above example identifies the sample 'maximum_1000_600' on instrument
'active-thread-count', on instrumentable 'instrument-manager'.
The length of the returned array is dependant on the configuration of the
sample being accessed. Check instrumentation.xconf for the length of pre-
defined samples that operate constantly, when instrumentation is enabled.
Parameters:
path - path value an int[] array of samples
exception:
Exception - if an error occurs |
