_revision Generation of this resource config

The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.

_self Link to this resource SelfResourceLink Readonly
_system_owned Indicates system owned resource boolean Readonly
active_timeout Active Timeout

is equal for every packet.
number Minimum: 0
Maximum: 100

priority Profile Priority

This priority field is used to resolve conflicts in logical ports/switch
which inherit multiple switch IPFIX profiles from NSGroups.

Override rule is : for multiple profiles inherited from NSGroups, the
one with highest priority (lowest number) overrides others; the profile
directly applied to logical switch overrides profiles inherited from
NSGroup; the profile directly applied to logical port overides profiles
inherited from logical switch and/or nsgroup;

The IPFIX exporter will send records to collectors of final effective
profile only.
