Counter (serviceutils 0.9.4-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Registration
```
public interface Counter
extends org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Registration
```
Counter metric, which is a simple incrementing and decrementing number.
Note that if you find you only use its increase() and never decrease() methods, then you probably want to use Meter with mark() instead of this.

  - increment
```
default void increment()
```
  - increment
```
void increment(long howMany)
```
  - decrement
```
default void decrement()
```
  - decrement
```
void decrement(long howMany)
```
  - get
```
long get()
```
    Gets the total number of events. Beware that this could have overflown. This is typically used in unit tests of metrics, more than to expose the metrics in production (because exposing metrics is really the role of the infrautils metrics implementation of this API).
