How does it work?

There is a main instance (Watchdog) which has a few useful functions

• startWatching(long minTPS) - Start watching the current thread and log if it goes under a certain TPS

• stopWatching() - Stop watching the current thread

• tick() - Tick the current thread (IMPORTANT)

You can initialize the Watchdog instance with Watchdog.init(long checkDelay, boolean newThread) and access it with Watchdog.getInstance()

To stop Watchdog, simply use it's stop function

Example

import com.birthdates.watchdog.Watchdog;

public class WatchdogExample {
    public WatchdogExample() {
        //start watching the current thread for tps < 10
        Watchdog.init(5000L, true);
        Watchdog.getInstance().startWatching(10);
        try {
            //this will alert the watchdog
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException ignored) {
        }
        //tick the current thread (basically a heartbeat, saying you're alive)
        Watchdog.getInstance().tick();
    }
}
