[BUG] Govc metrics.ls datastore/myds requires an "Interval" -> -i=real is not working ( VSAN ESA Metrics / Telegraf needed ]

[Muy69]

Describe the bug I would like to list all the new Metrics in vSphere 8u1 so that the new REAL Time ( 20sec ) Interval can be listet so that we have the ability to implement it to Telegraf Module : Vsphere .

Link Doku Govnomi

***Usage: govc metric.ls [OPTIONS] PATH***

List available metrics for PATH.

The default output format is the metric name.
The '-l' flag includes the metric description.
The '-L' flag includes the metric units, instance count (if any) and description.
The instance count is prefixed with a single '@'.
If no aggregate is provided for the metric, instance count is prefixed with two '@@'.

Examples:
  govc metric.ls /dc1/host/cluster1
  govc metric.ls datastore/*
  govc metric.ls -L -g CPU /dc1/host/cluster1/host1
  govc metric.ls vm/* | grep mem. | xargs govc metric.sample vm/*

Options:
  -L=false               Longer listing format
  -g=                    List a specific Group
  -i=real                Interval ID (real|day|week|month|year)
  -l=false               Long listing format

Expected behavior

$ govc metric.ls datastore/myds
datastore.numberReadAveraged.average
datastore.throughput.usage.average
datastore.throughput.contention.average
datastore.write.average
datastore.read.average
datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average
disk.used.latest
disk.provisioned.latest
disk.capacity.latest
disk.capacity.contention.average
disk.capacity.provisioned.average
disk.capacity.usage.average

Anyone an Idea why under the Version 0.35.0 the example is not working any longer ? Did the Option [path] was changed but the Documentation doesnot reflect it yet ?

@dougm From the Api I would see the following Metric , as that should be the new Metrics with the 30sec [ ( High Resolution Stats ] Polling Intervall on a VSAN ( esx 8u1 )

Are they already implemented ? Govnomi should be on Version 8u2 compatible I read or is that maybe not true for that aspect ?
