vim.PerformanceManager.MetricId
===============================
This data object type contains information that associates a performance counter with a performance metric. When constructing this data object for the `metricId`_ property of the `PerfQuerySpec`_ to submit to one of the `PerformanceManager`_ query operations, the `instance`_ property supports these special characters:
* An asterisk (*) to specify all instances of the metric for the specified
* `counterId`_
*
* Double-quotes ("") to specify aggregated statistics
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
Attributes:
counterId (`int`_):
The `ID`_ of the counter for the metric.
instance (`str`_):
An identifier that is derived from configuration names for the device associated with the metric. It identifies the instance of the metric with its source. This property may be empty.
* For memory and aggregated statistics, this property is empty.
* For host and virtual machine devices, this property contains the name of the device, such as the name of the host-bus adapter or the name of the virtual Ethernet adapter. For example,
* mpx
* vmhba33
* C0
* T0
* L0
* or
* vmnic0
*
* For a CPU, this property identifies the numeric position within the CPU core, such as 0, 1, 2, 3.
* For a virtual disk, this property identifies the file type:
*
* DISKFILE, for virtual machine base-disk files
* SWAPFILE, for virtual machine swap files
* DELTAFILE, for virtual machine snapshot overhead files
* OTHERFILE, for all other files of a virtual machine
