Thanks for the help but I still have a couple questions.
I'm already able to pull performance information from vmMOR objects but I thought you could only pull information from counters which are returned from the QueryAvailablePerfMetric method. When you query using this method referencing a vmMOR you do not recieve the cpu.ready.summation counter. Can you pass this counter into the queryspec regardless and recieve the stat? From the performance counter documentation it looks like I need to pass the specific CPU Instance Entity for that vmMOR....does this make sense? Where do you pull that Instance infromation?
Here is the code I'm running currently.
public void findPerformanceDetails( ManagedObjectReference targetMOR )
{
Console.WriteLine("Findind Performance Information on Entity " + targetMOR.Value + " Entity Type = " + targetMOR.type);
Console.WriteLine("");
int intervalID = 300;
int counterID;
int key;
String group;
String name;
String rollup;
DateTime curTime = _vimServiceSession.CurrentTime(serviceInstObjRef);
DateTime beginTime = curTime.Subtract(new TimeSpan(1,0,0,0));
DateTime endTime = curTime;
string[] arrProps = new string[] { "perfCounter" };
Object[] obInfo = getObjectProperties(_perforManager, arrProps);
PerfCounterInfo[] cInfo = (PerfCounterInfo[])obInfo[0];
Hashtable PerfByID = new Hashtable();
for (int i = 0; i < cInfo.Length; i++)
{
key = cInfo[i].key;
group = cInfo[i].groupInfo.key;
name = cInfo[i].nameInfo.key;
rollup = cInfo[i].rollupType.ToString();
if (group == "cpu")
Console.WriteLine("ID: " + key + " group: " + group + "." + name + "." + rollup);
PerfByID.Add(key, group + "." + name + "." + rollup);
}
Console.WriteLine("");
