globalRegistry

public static CompositeRegistry globalRegistry()

Returns the global composite registry. This method can be used for use-cases where it is necessary to get a static reference to a registry. It will not do anything unless other registries are added. Example:

 class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     // This is the preferred usage and works well with DI libraries like guice. Setup a
     // registry and pass it in as needed.
     Registry registry = new DefaultRegistry();
     (new Example1(registry)).start();

     // If it is desirable to get data from things using the global registry, then the
     // registry for the application can be added to the global context.
     Spectator.globalRegistry().add(registry);
     Example2 ex2 = new Example2();
     ex2.start();

     // If the lifecycle is not the same as the jvm, then the registry should be removed
     // when shutting down.
     ex2.onShutdown(() -> Spectator.globalRegistry().remove(registry));
   }
 }

 class Example1 {
   private final Counter c;

   Example1(Registry registry) {
     c = registry.counter("example1");
   }
   ...
 }

 class Example2 {
   private final Counter c;

   Example2() {
     c = Spectator.globalRegistry().counter("example1");
   }
   ...
 }
