CA SystemEDGE Enhancement Metrics

Enhance SystemEDGE with the following metrics to enable migration of NSM system and Performance agents. SystemEDGE agent reads the required variables from OS every 30 seconds and stores them to the internal cache the same way other statistics are retrieved.

New variables are visible under the same name as in CA Systems Performance LiteAgent but on a different OID. The following tables map the required CA Systems Performance LiteAgent variables to SystemEDGE variables:
