Metric represents a measurement or reported value that characterizes the operation of a CI, such as a counter of incoming messages or a gauge reporting CPU utilization. The abilities to report the metrics available for an entity and to obtain the metric values are accomplished through a custom WSDL. A metric changes in response to external stimuli, as opposed to being configured.
Metrics data is gathered using the two USM custom operations, GetAvailableMetrics and GetMetricsValues. Connectors derive metrics from imported domain manager data and forward the same metrics information to the consuming product for viewing and analysis.
Important! CA Catalyst consumers directly support metrics. While developing custom connectors, you can build metrics information into those connectors, and consuming products that support metrics can then use them. However, CA SOI currently does not support viewing of collected metrics in its user interface.
Note: For more information about supported metrics, see the "USM Specifics" appendix.
