///
/// # Description {#balm_integermetric-description}
/// This component provides a class, `balm::IntegerMetric`, to
/// simplify the process of collecting integer metrics.  A metric records the
/// number of times an event occurs, as well as an associated measurement
/// value.  This component does *not* define what constitutes an event or what
/// the associated value represents.  A metric maintains a count of event
/// occurrences and the aggregated minimum, maximum, and total of the measured
/// metric-event values.
///
/// The `balm::IntegerMetric` class, defined in this component, has in-core
/// value semantics.  Each `balm::IntegerMetric` object holds a pointer to a
/// `balm::IntegerCollector` that collects values for a particular integer
/// metric.  The `balm::IntegerCollector` is either supplied at construction, or
/// else obtained from a `balm::MetricsManager` object's
/// `balm::CollectorRepository`.  If the supplied `balm::MetricsManager` is 0,
/// the metric will use the default metrics manager instance
/// (`balm::DefaultMetricsManager::instance()`), if initialized; otherwise the
/// metric is placed in the inactive state (i.e., `isActive()` is `false`) and
/// operations that would otherwise update the metric will have no effect.
///
/// ## Alternative Systems for Telemetry {#balm_integermetric-alternative-systems-for-telemetry}
///
///
/// Bloomberg software may alternatively use the GUTS telemetry API, which is
/// integrated into Bloomberg infrastructure.
///
/// ## Choosing Between balm::IntegerMetric and Macros {#balm_integermetric-choosing-between-balm-integermetric-and-macros}
///
///
/// The `balm::IntegerMetric` class and the macros defined in @ref balm_metrics 
/// provide the same basic functionality.  Clients may find
/// `balm::IntegerMetric` objects better suited to collecting integer metrics
/// associated with a particular instance of a stateful object, while macros are
/// better suited to collecting metrics associated with a particular code path
/// (rather than an object instance).  In most instances choosing is a matter of
/// taste.
///
/// ## Thread Safety {#balm_integermetric-thread-safety}
///
///
/// `balm::IntegerMetric` is fully *thread-safe*, meaning that all non-creator
/// operations on a given instance can be safely invoked simultaneously from
/// multiple threads.
///
/// In addition all the macros defined in this component are fully
/// *thread-safe*, meaning that they can be safely invoked simultaneously from
/// multiple threads.
///
/// ## Usage {#balm_integermetric-usage}
///
///
/// This section illustrates intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Metric Collection With balm::IntegerMetric {#balm_integermetric-example-1-metric-collection-with-balm-integermetric}
///
///
/// We can use `balm::IntegerMetric` objects to record metric values.  In this
/// example we implement a hypothetical event manager object.  We use
/// `balm::IntegerMetric` objects to record metrics for the size of the request,
/// the elapsed processing time, and the number of failures.
/// @code
/// class EventManager {
///
///     // DATA
///     balm::IntegerMetric d_messageSize;
///     balm::IntegerMetric d_elapsedTime;
///     balm::IntegerMetric d_failedRequests;
///
///   public:
///
///     // CREATORS
///     EventManager()
///     : d_messageSize("MyCategory", "EventManager/size")
///     , d_elapsedTime("MyCategory", "EventManager/elapsedTime")
///     , d_failedRequests("MyCategory", "EventManager/failedRequests")
///     {}
///
///     // MANIPULATORS
///     int handleEvent(int eventId, const bsl::string& eventMessage)
///         // Process the event described by the specified 'eventId' and
///         // 'eventMessage' .  Return 0 on success, and a non-zero value
///         // if there was an error handling the event.
///     {
///         (void)eventId;
///
///         int returnCode = 0;
///
///         d_messageSize.update(static_cast<int>(eventMessage.size()));
///
///         bsls::TimeInterval start = bdlt::CurrentTime::now();
///
///         // Process 'data' ('returnCode' may change).
///
///         if (0 != returnCode) {
///             d_failedRequests.increment();
///         }
///
///         bsls::TimeInterval end = bdlt::CurrentTime::now();
///         d_elapsedTime.update(static_cast<int>(
///                                        (end - start).totalMicroseconds()));
///         return returnCode;
///     }
///
/// // ...
/// };
/// @endcode
///
/// ### Example 2: Create and Access the Default balm::MetricsManager Instance {#balm_integermetric-example-2-create-and-access-the-default-balm-metricsmanager-instance}
///
///
/// This example demonstrates how to create the default `balm::MetricManager`
/// instance and perform a trivial configuration.
///
/// First we create a `balm::DefaultMetricsManagerScopedGuard`, which manages
/// the lifetime of the default metrics manager instance.  At construction, we
/// provide the scoped guard an output stream (`stdout`) that it will publish
/// metrics to.  Note that the default metrics manager is intended to be created
/// and destroyed by the *owner* of `main`.  An instance of the manager should
/// be created during the initialization of an application (while the task has a
/// single thread) and destroyed just prior to termination (when there is
/// similarly a single thread).
/// @code
/// int main(int argc, char *argv[])
/// {
///     // ...
///
///     balm::DefaultMetricsManagerScopedGuard managerGuard(bsl::cout);
/// @endcode
/// Once the default instance has been created, it can be accessed using the
/// `instance` operation.
/// @code
///     balm::MetricsManager *manager =
///                                    balm::DefaultMetricsManager::instance();
///     assert(0 != manager);
/// @endcode
/// Note that the default metrics manager will be released when `managerGuard`
/// exits this scoped and is destroyed.  Clients that choose to explicitly call
/// `balm::DefaultMetricsManager::create` must also explicitly call
/// `balm::DefaultMetricsManager::release()`.
///
/// Now that we have created a `balm::MetricsManager` instance, we can use the
/// instance to publish metrics collected using the event manager described in
/// {Example 1}:
/// @code
///     EventManager eventManager;
///
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "ab");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abc");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abc");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abdef");
///
///     manager->publishAll();
///
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "ab");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abc");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abc");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abdef");
///
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "a");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abc");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abc");
///     eventManager.handleEvent(0, "abdefg");
///
///     manager->publishAll();
/// }

/// This class provides an in-core value semantic type for recording and
/// aggregating the values of an integer metric.  The value of a
/// `IntegerMetric` object is characterized by the `IntegerCollector` object
/// it uses to collect metric-event values.  Each instance of this class
/// establishes (at construction) an association to an `IntegerCollector`
/// object to which the metric delegates.  A `IntegerMetric` value is
/// constant after construction (i.e., it does not support assignment or
/// provide manipulators that modify its collector value), so that
/// synchronization primitives are not required to protect its data members.
/// Note that if a collector or metrics manager is not supplied at
/// construction, and if the default metrics manager has not been
/// instantiated, then the metric will be inactive (i.e., `isActive()` is
/// `false`) and the manipulator methods of the integer metric object will
/// have no effect.
