Class FileContext

    java.lang.Object

    @InterfaceAudience.Public
    @InterfaceStability.Evolving
    @Deprecated
    public class FileContext

extends AbstractMetricsContext

Metrics context for writing metrics to a file.

This class is configured by setting ContextFactory attributes which in turn are usually configured through a properties file. All the attributes are prefixed by the contextName. For example, the properties file might contain:

     myContextName.fileName=/tmp/metrics.log
     myContextName.period=5
