value check_info[] list of vcenter.hlm.community.check_info objects. Contains results aggregated per pair of nodes.
value[].status_from_destination status The status of the connection from the destination to the source. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.

value[].status_from_destination.source string The hostname of the node issuing network calls. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.

value[].status_from_destination.destination string The hostname of the destination node. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.

value[].status_from_destination.latency long The latency in milliseconds from source to destination. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.

value[].status_from_destination.failed boolean This is set to true if there are any error messages in the per path network checks. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.

value[].status_from_destination.errors localizable_message[] The list of any error messages. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.

value[].status_from_destination.errors[].id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.

value[].status_from_destination.errors[].default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale.
