Usage

Main steps

• Write class for every category you need. You class should be inherited from one of 3 library category class:

public class TestEmptyCategory: EmptyCategoryWrapper
{
    public TestEmptyCategory() : base("Empty", "desc") { }
}
public class TestSingleInstanceCategory: SingleInstanceCategoryWrapper
{
    public TestSingleInstanceCategory() : base("Single", "desc") {  }
}
public class TestInstance: InstanceInMultiInstanceCategoryWrapper
{
}
public class TestMultiInstanceCategory : MultiInstanceCategoryWrapper<TestInstance>
{
    public TestMultiInstanceCategory () : base("Multi", "desc") { }
}

• Define counters as properties inside your categories and mark them with 'Counter' attribute:

public class TestSingleInstanceCategory: SingleInstanceCategoryWrapper
{
    public TestSingleInstanceCategory() : base("Single", "desc") {  }

    [Counter("TestElapsedTimeCounter")]
    public ElapsedTimeCounter Elapsed { get; private set; }

    [Counter("NumberOfItemsCounter")]
    public NumberOfItemsCounter Count { get; private set; }

    [Counter("TestOperationsPerSecondCounter")]
    public OperationsPerSecondCounter OperationPerSec { get; private set; }

    [Counter("TestAverageCountCounter")]
    public AverageCountCounter Avg { get; private set; }

    [Counter("TestAverageTimeCounter")]
    public AverageTimeCounter AvgTime { get; private set; }

    [Counter("TestMomentTimeCounter")]
    public MomentTimeCounter MomentTime { get; private set; }
}

public class TestInstance: InstanceInMultiInstanceCategoryWrapper
{
    [Counter("Count")]
    public NumberOfItemsCounter Count { get; private set; }
}

• If you need, you can write the singleton counters container:

• Create on application start-up the CounterFactory or load it from App.config:

• Initialize you categories:

• Call InitAll on your factory:

• Use counters:

• Dispose counters factory when application is about to close:
