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 identifies the metric definition. 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 Identifies the specific units of a value. The value of this property shall be a
legal value of the Programmatic Units qualifier as defined 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
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
Units
Identifies the specific units of a value. Examples are Bytes, Packets, Jobs,
Files, Milliseconds, and Amps.
