`TimingDistributionMetricType(disabled: `[`Boolean`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)`, category: `[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`, lifetime: `[`Lifetime`](../-lifetime/index.md)`, name: `[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`, sendInPings: `[`List`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/-list/index.html)`<`[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`>, timeUnit: `[`TimeUnit`](../-time-unit/index.md)`)`

This implements the developer facing API for recording timing distribution metrics.

Instances of this class type are automatically generated by the parsers at build time,
allowing developers to record values that were previously registered in the metrics.yaml file.

The string list API exposes the [accumulate](accumulate.md) method, which interacts with the storage engine to
accumulate to the correct bucket.
