Classes

class TimespanMetricType (common_metric_data: glean._uniffi.glean.CommonMetricData, time_unit: glean._uniffi.glean.TimeUnit)

This implements the developer facing API for recording timespan metrics.

Instances of this class type are automatically generated by load_metrics(), allowing developers to record values that were previously registered in the metrics.yaml file.

The timespan API exposes the TimespanMetricType.start(), TimespanMetricType.stop() and TimespanMetricType.cancel() methods.
