USM Metrics Support

The Sample connector provides an example of how to support USM metrics. It implements the following operations as defined in USM:

Note: CA SOI currently does not support viewing metric information (that connectors collect) in its user interface.

GetAvailableMetrics

Retrieves the metrics that can be queried as follows:

Identifies the CI for which metrics are requested by its MdrProduct, MdrProdInstance, and MdrElementID values
Returns all possible metrics (standard and domain-specific) for the CI and its domain-specific identifier for each metric

GetMetricsValues

Determines the metric values for the supplied metric names. Metric values can be either the historical values or the current live value.

The operations are implemented as custom operations using the execute() method of the EntityOperationRunner interface.

Note: For more information about the USM metric collection capabilities, see the USM schema documentation.
