VM CPU Metrics Unavailable in vROPs 6.X

[praveen2sas]

Hi , 

I am not able to find the following metric names Wait (%)and Wait (ms) under virtual machine CPU metrics in the console while creating a new symptom, however, Vmware documentation says the metric name is available. 

have attached the screenshots from my vROPs console and VMware documentation.

I agree that Wait (%) is both in the documentation and missing.  But your screenshot does show Wait (ms) is present.  It has a Wait (ms) per CPU on the machine as well as a summation of all CPUs (Total Wait (ms))

Here is a shot from 6.6.1, Wait (%) is still missing.  I checked an API call to resources/{resourceId}/stats/latest and verified the key cpu|waitPct is not there.  I'm not sure why this is documented but non-existent.
