Timer

Timer

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

Call record() with a value:

```golang import ( "github.com/Netflix/spectator-go/v2/spectator" "time" )

func main() { config, _ := spectator.NewConfig("udp", nil, nil) registry, _ := spectator.NewRegistry(config)

registry.Timer("server.requestLatency", nil).Record(500 * time.Millisecond)

requestLatency := registry.NewId("server.requestLatency", nil)
registry.TimerWithId(requestLatency).Record(500 * time.Millisecond)

} ```

Units

Go Timers always report values to backends in seconds (see Use Base Units). The API accepts a time.Duration value, which is converted to seconds when reporting.
