Data Object - PerfProviderSummary(vim.PerformanceManager.ProviderSummary)

Returned by: QueryPerfProviderSummary
Extends: DynamicData
Since: 2.0

Data Object Description

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).

Properties

Name	Type	Description
currentSupported	xsd:boolean	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 intervalId of the PerfQuerySpec (passed to the QueryPerf operation) to the refreshRate to obtain the maximum information possible for the entity.
entity	ManagedObjectReference	Reference to the performance provider, the managed object that provides real-time or historical metrics. The managed objects include but are not limited to managed entities, such as host systems, virtual machines, and resource pools.
refreshRate*	xsd:int	Number of seconds between the generation of each counter. This value applies only to entities that support real-time (current) statistics.
summarySupported	xsd:boolean	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 intervalId of QueryPerf to one of the historical intervals to obtain historical statistics for this entity.
