PerfProviderSummary

PerfProviderSummary
PerfProviderSummary

This data object type contains information about a performance provider, the type of statistics it generates, and the refreshRate for statistics generation.

A performance provider is any managed object that generates real-time or historical statistics (or both—the currentSupported and summarySupported properties are not mutually exclusive).

The ManagedObjectReference data object type is a special-purpose data object. Commonly referred to as simply a "reference", "MoRef", "MOR", or other variations of this theme, instances of managed object references contain data that identifies specific server-side managed objects. Managed object references are typically one of the return types from a method invocation.

Managed object references are client application references to server-side managed objects. The client application uses ManagedObjectReference objects when it invokes operations on a server. A ManagedObjectReference is guaranteed to be unique and persistent during an object's lifetime. The reference persists after an object has moved within the inventory, across sessions, and across server restarts. If you remove an object, for example, a virtual machine, from the inventory, and then put it back, the reference changes.

boolean
currentSupported
Required

True if this entity supports real-time (current) statistics; false if it does not.

If this property is true for an entity, a client application can set the PerfQuerySpec.intervalId of the PerfQuerySpec (passed to the PerformanceManager.QueryPerf operation) to the PerfProviderSummary.refreshRate to obtain the maximum information possible for the entity.

boolean
summarySupported
Required

True if this entity supports historical (aggregated) statistics; false if it does not.

When this property is true for an entity, a client application can set the PerfQuerySpec.intervalId of PerformanceManager.QueryPerf to one of the historical intervals to obtain historical statistics for this entity.

integer As int32 As int32
refreshRate
Optional

Number of seconds between the generation of each counter.

This value applies only to entities that support real-time (current) statistics.
