Property Description
DataType
The data type of the metric. These types represent the datatypes dened for
CIM.
Possible values are:
• 1 = boolean
• 2 = char16
• 3 = datetime
• 4 = real32
• 5 = real64
• 6 = sint16
• 7 = sint32
• 8 = sint64
• 9 = sint8
• 10 = string
• 11 = uint16
• 12 = uint32
• 13 = uint64
• 14 = uint8
GatheringType
GatheringType indicates how the metric values are gathered by the underlying
instrumentation. This allows the client application to choose the right metric
for the purpose.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = OnChange
• 3 = Periodic
• 4 = OnRequest
• 5..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
Id A string that uniquely identies the metric denition. The use of OSF UUID/
GUIDs is recommended.
IsContinuous True
Name The name of the metric. This name does not have to be unique, but should be
descriptive and may contain blanks.
ProgrammaticUnits Identies the specic units of a value. The value of this property shall be a legal
value of the Programmatic Units qualier as dened in Appendix C.1 of
DSP0004 V2.4 or later.
SampleInterval If metric values are collected at regular intervals, the SampleInterval property
indicates the length of the interval. If non-null, the value of the SampleInterval
shall be expressed in interval notation. A value of NULL shall indicate the
SampleInterval is unknown. A value of 99990101000000.000000+000 shall
indicate the sampling interval is irregular.
TimeScope
TimeScope indicates the time scope to which the metric value applies.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Point
• 3 = Interval
• 4 = StartupInterval
• 5..32767 = DMTF Reserved
