- Method Detail
  - mark
```
default void mark()
```
    Mark the occurrence of an event.
  - mark
```
void mark(long howMany)
```
    Mark the occurrence of a given number of events.
  - 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).
