Timer

A Timer is used to measure how long (in seconds) some event is taking.

Call Record() with a value:

```cpp

include

int main() { auto config = Config(WriterConfig(WriterTypes::UDP)); auto r = Registry(config);

// Option 1: Directly create a Timer
auto serverLatency = r.CreateTimer("server.requestLatency");
serverLatency.Record(10);

// Option 2: Create a Timer from a MeterID
auto requestLatencyMeter = r.CreateNewId("server.requestLatency");
r.CreateTimer(requestLatencyMeter).Record(10);

} ```

Units

Ensure that you always report values in seconds (see Use Base Units). The API does not offer any guarantees that the value will be in seconds.
