Closed toni-moreno closed 8 years ago

Hi I'm testing this promising tool and would like to get only 1 metric/min

but I'm receiving metrics for each 20 seconds.

        </receiver>
 </receivers>

I'm also getting "myserver00_domain_subdomain_es" and i would like to get only "myserver00".

I would like also modify this GraphiteReceiver to get this tree scheme.

<prefix>.<cluster>.<object_type>.<object_name>.<counter_group>.<instance_name>.<counter_name>-<rollup>

where

object_type could be "vm" "esx" ( as vmstats does) counter_group are groups defined in http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver5/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html

In order to do a PR I'm trying to understand what are you doing here

https://github.com/SYNAXON/GraphiteReceiver/blob/master/src/main/java/de/synaxon/graphitereceiver/MetricsReceiver.java#L103-L126

But I need information about "PerfMetricSet metricSet" object API.

where can I look for?

That's a really good question - I did not find any api docs on the net via google. I guess you need to kind of reverse engineer it. Setup a development environment and inspect classes via autocompletion of IDE and the java docs.

Seems like there is no official documentation since its a product of vmware labs checkout:

com.vmware.ee.statsfeeder.ExecutionContext

I'm working on a PR to summarize all data depending on the rollup type. I'll do some more test and after I will push a PR.
