public interface ITrigger

Describes the functionality of either a metric or a policy evaluation - a simple interface which is offering a way to trigger a system adapter evaluation or extraction.

A simple evaluator is instantiated with a reference to either the metric or the policy it is the scheduling the evaluation of. A caller (mainly an internal framework component) indirectly calls the policy or metric through this interface.
