Annotation Interface TrackMetric

@Target(METHOD) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented public @interface TrackMetric
Marks an arbitrary method for execution time measurement as a technical metric.

Unlike MonitoredEndpoint, this annotation can be applied to any Spring-managed component: a service, repository, HTTP client, etc. It measures the method execution time and records it as a named metric.

Usage example: 


 @Service
 public class InventoryService {

     @TrackMetric(name = "db.inventory.query", kind = MetricKind.TIMER)
     public List<Product> findAvailable() { ... }

     @TrackMetric(name = "orders.created", kind = MetricKind.COUNTER, description = "Orders placed")
     public Order createOrder(OrderRequest request) { ... }
 }
