Properties

Name	Type	Description
baseUnits	xsd:string	The base units in which the sensor reading is specified. If rateUnits is set the units of the current reading is further qualified by the rateUnits. Otherwise the value returned is 'unspecified'. See rateUnits
currentReading	xsd:long	The current reading of the element indicated by the sensor. The actual sensor reading is obtained by multiplying the current reading by the scale factor.
healthState*	ElementDescription	The health state of the of the element indicated by the sensor. This property is populated only for sensors that support threshold settings and for discrete sensors using control file. See HostNumericSensorHealthState
id*	xsd:string	A unique sensor identifier. *Since* vSphere API 6.5
name	xsd:string	The name of the physical element associated with the sensor It consists of a string of the form: "description --- state/identifer".
rateUnits*	xsd:string	The rate units in which the sensor reading is specified. For example if the baseUnits is Volts and the rateUnits is per second the value returned by the sensor are in Volts/second. If no rate applies the value returned is 'none'.
sensorType	xsd:string	The type of the sensor. If the sensor type is set to Other the sensor name can be used to further identify the type of sensor. The sensor units can also be used to further implicitly determine the type of the sensor. See HostNumericSensorType
timeStamp*	xsd:string	Reports the ISO 8601 Timestamp when this sensor was last updated by management controller if the this sensor is capable of tracking when it was last updated. *Since* vSphere API 6.5
unitModifier	xsd:int	The unit multiplier for the values returned by the sensor. All values returned by the sensor are current reading * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier. If no unitModifier applies the value returned is 0.

Description

baseUnits

xsd:string

The base units in which the sensor reading is specified. If rateUnits is set the units of the current reading is further qualified by the rateUnits. Otherwise the value returned is 'unspecified'.
See rateUnits

currentReading

xsd:long

The current reading of the element indicated by the sensor. The actual sensor reading is obtained by multiplying the current reading by the scale factor.

healthState*

ElementDescription

The health state of the of the element indicated by the sensor. This property is populated only for sensors that support threshold settings and for discrete sensors using control file.
See HostNumericSensorHealthState

id*

xsd:string

A unique sensor identifier.

Since vSphere API 6.5

name

xsd:string

The name of the physical element associated with the sensor It consists of a string of the form: "description --- state/identifer".

rateUnits*

xsd:string

The rate units in which the sensor reading is specified. For example if the baseUnits is Volts and the rateUnits is per second the value returned by the sensor are in Volts/second. If no rate applies the value returned is 'none'.

sensorType

xsd:string

The type of the sensor. If the sensor type is set to Other the sensor name can be used to further identify the type of sensor. The sensor units can also be used to further implicitly determine the type of the sensor.
See HostNumericSensorType

timeStamp*

xsd:string

Reports the ISO 8601 Timestamp when this sensor was last updated by management controller if the this sensor is capable of tracking when it was last updated.

Since vSphere API 6.5

unitModifier

xsd:int

The unit multiplier for the values returned by the sensor. All values returned by the sensor are current reading * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier. If no unitModifier applies the value returned is 0.
