Download the Metric Family Schema and Example Files

Before you create a custom metric family XML file, download and review the metric family schema and example metric family XML files. You need the schema to create your own XML file. The example demonstrates how to code a successful metric family. Reviewing these files before creating your own helps ensure the accuracy of your XML content.

Locate and download the following files into the same folder:

• http://hostname:port/resource/xsd/MetricFamily.xsd
• http://hostname:port/resource/xsd/Component.xsd
• http://hostname:port/resource/examples/metricFamily/ProcessInfoMFWithComponent.xml

Note: For more information about each XML tag, see the inline documentation provided in the MetricFamily.xsd and Component.xsd files. For code examples, see the ProcessInfoMFWithComponent.xml file. This example file defines a metric family for gathering process metrics.
