providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the
preferred algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.
DCIM_BaseMetricValue
Table 69. BaseMetricValue
Property Description
Duration
Property that represents the time duration over which this metric value is valid. This
property should not exist for timestamps that apply only to a point in time but should
be defined for values that are considered valid for a certain time period (ex.
sampling). If the Duration property exists and is non null, the TimeStamp is to be
considered the end of the interval.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely
identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the
NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following
preferred algorithm:
<OrgID> : <LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must
include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the
business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID
assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is
similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In
addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using
this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID>
and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused
to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above preferred
algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is
not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the
NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the preferred algorithm
must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
MetricDefinitionId
The key of the BaseMetricDefinition instance for this CIM_BaseMetricValue instance
value.
MetricValue
The value of the metric represented as a string. Its original data type is specified in
CIM_BaseMetricDefinition.
TimeStamp
Identifies the time when the value of a metric instance is computed. Note that this is
different from the time when the instance is created. For a given
CIM_BaseMetricValue instance, the TimeStamp changes whenever a new
measurement snapshot is taken if Volatile is true. A managmenet application may
establish a time series of metric data by retrieving the instances of
CIM_BaseMetricValue and sorting them according to their TimeStamp.
Volatile
If true, Volatile indicates that the value for the next point in time may use the same
object and just change its properties (such as the value or timestamp). If false, the
existing objects remain unchanged and a new object is created for the new point in
time.
