-[].counters[].cid string Counter Id. CID is a string with rather strong semantic consistency across deployments and versions. If two CIDs are identical it implies the corresponding counters are the same. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview.

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vstats.model.Counter. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vstats.model.Counter.

-[].counters[].mid string MID is a 64-bit integer with strong consistency. Given a particular CID=cid, if two MIDs are the same, then the corresponding counter-metadata objects are same.
