ShowMetricsByClass method of the CIM_MetricService class

Reports the following: the metrics available to be collected for all instances of a CIM class, The CIM classes for which a metric defined by an instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition is available to be collected, and whether or not a particular metric is currently being collected for a managed element.

Syntax

uint32 ShowMetricsByClass(
  [in]  CIM_ManagedElement       REF Subject,
  [in]  CIM_BaseMetricDefinition REF Definition,
  [out] CIM_BaseMetricDefinition REF DefinitionList[],
  [out] string                       MetricNames[],
  [out] uint16                       MetricCollectionEnabled[]
);

Parameters

Subject [in]

Identifies a CIM class for which the method returns references to instances of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition that define metrics that are available to be captured for all instances of the class.

Definition [in]

Identifies an instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition. The method returns references to instances of CIM_ManagedElement for which metrics defined by the instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition are available to be collected.

DefinitionList [out]

On success, may contain references to instances of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition objects that define metrics available for collection for the CIM_ManagedElement identified by the Subject parameter.

MetricNames [out]

On success, each array index shall contain the value of the Name property for the instance of CIM_BaseMetricDefinition referenced by the corresponding array index of the DefinitionList parameter.

MetricCollectionEnabled [out]

Indicates whether a metric is being collected for all instances of a class of managed elements.
