// Macros for efficient use of histograms.
//
// For best practices on deciding when to emit to a histogram and what form
// the histogram should take, see
// https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/HEAD/tools/metrics/histograms/README.md

// TODO(rkaplow): Link to proper documentation on metric creation once we have
// it in a good state.

// All of these macros must be called with |name| as a runtime constant - it
// doesn't have to literally be a constant, but it must be the same string on
// all calls from a particular call site. If this rule is violated, it is
// possible the data will be written to the wrong histogram.

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Enumeration histograms.

// These macros create histograms for enumerated data. Ideally, the data should
// be of the form of "event occurs, log the result". We recommended not putting
// related but not directly connected data as enums within the same histogram.
// You should be defining an associated Enum, and the input sample should be
// an element of the Enum.
// All of these macros must be called with |name| as a runtime constant.

// Sample usage:
//   UMA_HISTOGRAM_ENUMERATION("My.Enumeration", VALUE, EVENT_MAX_VALUE);
// New Enum values can be added, but existing enums must never be renumbered or
// delete and reused. The value in |sample| must be strictly less than
// |enum_max|.

#define UMA_HISTOGRAM_ENUMERATION(name, sample, enum_max)                      \

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Linear histograms.

// All of these macros must be called with |name| as a runtime constant.

// Used for capturing integer data with a linear bucketing scheme. This can be
// used when you want the exact value of some small numeric count, with a max of
// 100 or less. If you need to capture a range of greater than 100, we recommend
// the use of the COUNT histograms below.

// Sample usage:
//   UMA_HISTOGRAM_EXACT_LINEAR("Histogram.Linear", count, 10);
#define UMA_HISTOGRAM_EXACT_LINEAR(name, sample, value_max) \
  UMA_HISTOGRAM_ENUMERATION(name, sample, value_max)

// Used for capturing basic percentages. This will be 100 buckets of size 1.

// Sample usage:
//   UMA_HISTOGRAM_PERCENTAGE("Histogram.Percent", percent_as_int);

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Count histograms. These are used for collecting numeric data. Note that we
// have macros for more specialized use cases below (memory, time, percentages).

// The number suffixes here refer to the max size of the sample, i.e. COUNT_1000
// will be able to collect samples of counts up to 1000. The default number of
// buckets in all default macros is 50. We recommend erring on the side of too
// large a range versus too short a range.
// These macros default to exponential histograms - i.e. the lengths of the
// bucket ranges exponentially increase as the sample range increases.
// These should *not* be used if you are interested in exact counts, i.e. a
// bucket range of 1. In these cases, you should use the ENUMERATION macros
// defined later. These should also not be used to capture the number of some
// event, i.e. "button X was clicked N times". In this cases, an enum should be
// used, ideally with an appropriate baseline enum entry included.
// All of these macros must be called with |name| as a runtime constant.
