Hi Brad ! Nice meeting you yesterday :-)
I took a closer look at PCP to see what it uses for the meta level description for every metric. I thought this might be interesting for you. Here you go: - Data type: union of all C types, plus blob - Semantics: counter, instant, descrete - Units and scale: dimension and scale for space, time, count Here are some examples: kernel.all.load [1, 5 and 15 minute load average] Data Type: float InDom: 60.2 0xf000002 Semantics: instant Units: none kernel.percpu.cpu.user [percpu user CPU time metric from /proc/stat] Data Type: 64-bit unsigned int InDom: 60.0 0xf000000 Semantics: counter Units: millisec For detailed info you can check out "man PMAPI" on any SLES box.
