Enum DataType

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<DataType>
      org.rhq.core.domain.measurement.DataType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DataType>

public enum DataType
extends Enum<DataType>

Describe the type of data that is to be collected. The typical type is "measurement" (i.e. numeric) data that normally changes over time (see NumericType for further classification of this kind of data). A "trait" is typically a value that changes rarely (e.g. number of CPUs on a platform, or an install path). "Complex" data is tabular in nature with N columns of N rows of values. Call-time data is the min/max/avg call durations for each destination (e.g. URL or session EJB method) in a set of destinations.

Method Detail

values

public static DataType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DataType c : DataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DataType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
