LongMonitoringCounter (Gateway Service 5.4.0-RC005 API)

```
public interface LongMonitoringCounter
```
This interface represents the abstraction layer for long monitoring counters. Monitoring counters represent values which indicate specific gateway relevant information, such as the number of open sessions, the number of bytes sent/received, etc. This interface exposes the API for storing long metrics hiding the underlying implementation, which is technology-dependent.
