 * A gauge metric is an instantaneous reading of a particular value. To instrument a queue's depth,

 * final Queue<String> queue = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<String>();
 * final Gauge<Integer> queueDepth = new Gauge<Integer>() {
 *     public Integer value() {
 *         return queue.size();
 *     }
 * };
 *

 * @param  the type of the metric's value
