All Known Implementing Classes:

RegistryFactory
```
public interface RegistryFactory
```
Behavior of a RegistryFactory, capable of providing metrics registries of various types (application, base, vendor) plus static methods for:
- creating "free-standing" registry factories according to MetricsSettings or Config (see the create methods),
- retrieving the singleton registry factory or updating it according to MetricsSettings or Config (see the getInstance methods), and
- retrieving the appropriate registry factory for a metrics-capable component, based on the component's own metrics settings combined with the overall metrics settings and whether full-featured metrics are available on the path (see the getInstance() method).

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static RegistryFactory`	`create()`	Returns a `RegistryFactory` according to the default metrics settings.
`static RegistryFactory`	`create(Config config)`	Deprecated. Use `create(MetricsSettings)` instead
`static RegistryFactory`	`create(MetricsSettings metricsSettings)`	Returns a `RegistryFactory` according to the specified `MetricsSettings`.
`static RegistryFactory`	`getInstance()`	Returns the singleton instance of the `RegistryFactory`, either the initial default value or the one resulting from the most recent prior use of `getInstance(MetricsSettings)` or `getInstance(Config)`.
`static RegistryFactory`	`getInstance(Config config)`	Deprecated. Use `getInstance(MetricsSettings)` instead
`static RegistryFactory`	`getInstance(ComponentMetricsSettings componentMetricsSettings)`	Returns a `RegistryFactory` according to the `ComponentMetricsSettings` provided and the underlying overall metrics settings.
`static RegistryFactory`	`getInstance(MetricsSettings metricSettings)`	Returns a `RegistryFactory` according to the `MetricsSettings` provided and makes the instance the new value of the singleton.
`MetricRegistry`	`getRegistry(MetricRegistry.Type type)`	Returns a `MetricRegistry` instance of the requested type.
`default void`	`update(MetricsSettings metricsSettings)`	Updates the metrics settings for the `RegistryFactory`.

- Method Detail
  - create
```
static RegistryFactory create()
```
    Returns a RegistryFactory according to the default metrics settings.
    
    Returns:
    
    new RegistryFactory
  - create
```
static RegistryFactory create(MetricsSettings metricsSettings)
```
    Returns a RegistryFactory according to the specified MetricsSettings.
    
    Parameters:
    
    metricsSettings - settings for overall metrics
    
    Returns:
    
    new RegistryFactory
  - create
```
@Deprecated
static RegistryFactory create(Config config)
```
    Deprecated.
    Use create(MetricsSettings) instead
    
    Returns a RegistryFactory according to the specified overall metrics Config.
    Equivalent to RegistryFactory.create(MetricsSettings.create(config)).
    
    Parameters:
    
    config - Config node for the overall metrics config section
    
    Returns:
    
    new RegistryFactory
  - getInstance
```
static RegistryFactory getInstance()
```
    Returns the singleton instance of the RegistryFactory, either the initial default value or the one resulting from the most recent prior use of getInstance(MetricsSettings) or getInstance(Config).
    
    Returns:
    
    RegistryFactory
  - getInstance
```
@Deprecated
static RegistryFactory getInstance(Config config)
```
    Deprecated.
    Use getInstance(MetricsSettings) instead
    
    Returns a RegistryFactory created according to the specified Config, while also setting the singleton instance RegistryFactory which getInstance() will return.
    
    Parameters:
    
    config - the Config to use in setting up the RegistryFactory
    
    Returns:
    
    the new RegistryFactory created according to the specified config
  - getInstance
```
static RegistryFactory getInstance(MetricsSettings metricSettings)
```
    Returns a RegistryFactory according to the MetricsSettings provided and makes the instance the new value of the singleton.
    
    Parameters:
    
    metricSettings - metrics settings to be used in preparing the RegistryFactory
    
    Returns:
    
    the new RegistryFactory
  - getInstance
```
static RegistryFactory getInstance(ComponentMetricsSettings componentMetricsSettings)
```
    Returns a RegistryFactory according to the ComponentMetricsSettings provided and the underlying overall metrics settings.
    
    Parameters:
    
    componentMetricsSettings - metrics settings for the component requesting the registry factory
    
    Returns:
    
    either the active RegistryFactory or a no-op one (if the component's metrics settings indicate)
  - getRegistry
```
MetricRegistry getRegistry(MetricRegistry.Type type)
```
    Returns a MetricRegistry instance of the requested type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - MetricRegistry.Type of the registry to be returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the MetricRegistry of the requested type
  - update
```
default void update(MetricsSettings metricsSettings)
```
    Updates the metrics settings for the RegistryFactory.
    Reserved for use by internal Helidon code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    metricsSettings - metrics settings to use in updating the factory
