Some customers want performance overview scheduled and mailed so i have to struggle deeper in perfManager.
A reduced and simple example how to get performance data from a VM with vCO you can find here:

Additional the code generate a graph based on the retrieved metrics for mailing purpose or what ever you want.
Special thanks to for pointing me the right way
