I am using Dropwizard meter to monitor number of times a method is called. A Dropwizard meter among other things records the count for a metric. I assumed that a count will only go upwards, but in my particular scenario, I noticed that there were a few instances, where the counter actually goes down and them comes back up again. Why might this happen? Thanks!

  • I've read that thread, but I didn't see any reason for the counter value to go down – Seagull Dec 20 '16 at 20:21
  • The meter can not go down the count unless you restart your application. Can you update your code with an example on how you implemented this and how you are marking your events? – pandaadb Dec 29 '16 at 11:53
