Timer

class Timer(val metric: Timer)

A Scala facade class for DropwizardTimer.

Features:

  • measure the execution duration of a block of code with time
  • measure the time until a future is completed with timeFuture
  • add an execution duration measurement as a side effect to a partial function with timePF
  • direct access to the underlying timer with update, timerContext, count, max, etc.

Example usage:

 class Example(val db: Db) extends Instrumented {
   private[this] val loadTimer = metrics.timer("load")

   def load(id: Long) = loadTimer.time {
     db.load(id)
   }
 }
class Object
trait Matchable
class Any

def time[A](f: => A): A

Runs f, recording its duration, and returns its result.

Runs f, recording its duration, and returns its result.

def timeFuture[A](future: => Future[A])(implicit context: ExecutionContext): Future[A]

Measures 'now' up to the moment that the given future completes, then updates this timer with the measurement.

Know what you measure

This method may measure more than is obvious. It measures:

  • the evaluation of the (by name) parameter future
  • in case the future is not yet completed: the delay until the constructed Future is scheduled in the given ExecutionContext
  • in case the future is not yet completed: the actual execution of the Future
  • the time it takes to schedule stopping the timer

To only measure the Future execution time, please use a timer in the code that is executed inside the Future.

The timer is stopped concurrently to the returned future. If you need to verify the timer's value in a unit test you can use something like ScalaTest's eventually, or use a direct execution context. For more information see [https://github.com/erikvanoosten/metrics-scala/pull/144].

Example usage:

class Example extends Instrumented {
 private[this] loadTimer = metrics.timer("loading")

 private def asyncFetchRows(): Future[Seq[Row]] = ...

 def loadStuffEventually(): Future[Seq[Row]] = loadTimer.timeFuture { asyncFetchRows() }
}
Type Params
A

future result type

Value Params
context

execution context

future

the expression that results in a future

Returns

the result of executing future

def timePF[A, B](pf: PartialFunction[A, B]): PartialFunction[A, B]

Converts partial function pf into a side-effecting partial function that times every invocation of pf for which it is defined. The result is passed unchanged.

Converts partial function pf into a side-effecting partial function that times every invocation of pf for which it is defined. The result is passed unchanged.

Example usage:

class Example extends Instrumented {
  val isEven: PartialFunction[Int, String] = {
    case x if x % 2 == 0 => x+" is even"
  }

  val isEvenTimer = metrics.timer("isEven")
  val timedIsEven: PartialFunction[Int, String] = isEvenTimer.timePF(isEven)

  val sample = 1 to 10
  sample collect timedIsEven   // timer does 5 measurements
}
def timerContext(): Context

A timing com.codahale.metrics.Timer.Context, which measures an elapsed time in nanoseconds.
