vstats acq specs: create spec

The create_spec structure contains information for a new data acquisition specification. Warning: This structure is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Required
counters	counter_spec	Designates the counter(s) to be sampled. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments.
counters.cid_mid.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. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. 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`.
resources	rsrc_id[]	A set of resource identifiers representing a single resource to be monitored. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments.
Optional
counters.cid_mid	cid_mid	Counter and optional meatadata identifier. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. Optional. When unset the `set_id` field will be used.
counters.cid_mid.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. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. Optional. When this field is unset vStats will use default for the counter metadata as obtained from the provider.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.CounterMetadata`. 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.CounterMetadata`.
counters.set_id	string	Counter set identifier. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. Optional. When unset the `cid_mid` field will be used.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.CounterSet`. 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.CounterSet`.
endpoints	string[]	A set of endpoint identifiers, each representing an endpoint to which stats data is to be pushed. 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. Optional. If unset, there are no endpoints to configure.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must contain identifiers for the resource type: `com.vmware.vstats.model.Endpoint`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will contain identifiers for the resource type: `com.vmware.vstats.model.Endpoint`.
interval	long	Desired sampling rate in seconds. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. Optional. If unset default of 10s will be used.
expiration	long	Expiration time for this acquisition specification in Unix UTC number of seconds (since epoch). Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. Optional. When this field is unset or 0, default expiration duration is 100 minutes.
memo_	string	Consumer provided text about this acquisition specification. Warning: This attribute is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments. Optional. If unset default empty string will be used.
