Counter (micrometer-core 1.3.8 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Meter

All Known Implementing Classes:

CumulativeCounter, DropwizardCounter, NoopCounter, StepCounter
```
public interface Counter
extends Meter
```
Counters monitor monotonically increasing values. Counters may never be reset to a lesser value. If you need to track a value that goes up and down, use a Gauge.
