vStats

Acq Specs
get List Acq Specs
Returns information about all acquisition specifications. Warning: This operation 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.
post Create Acq Specs
Create a new acquisition specification record. Warning: This operation 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.
get Get Acq Specs
Returns information about a specific acquisition specification. Warning: This operation 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.
patch Update Acq Specs
Update an existing acquisition specification. Warning: This operation 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.
delete Delete Acq Specs
Delete an acquisition specification. Warning: This operation 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.
Counter Metadata
get List Counter Metadata
Returns information about all counter metadata records for a specific Counter. Warning: This operation 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.
get Get Default Counter Metadata
This operation returns the "default" CounterMetadata. A Counter has at least one related metadata object. Usually, stats providers (for example hosts) are in agreement about the default metadata. In this case the returned list has a single metadata object. Sometimes, when providers are in "disagreement" about the default, then the returned list would include all the possible "defaults". This potential ambiguity isn't a real issue because consumers of the vStats API rarely need to specify the "mid" of metadata. Therefore, this API is used primarily for informational purposes. .
