performance query methods.
Method
| Notes
|
---|---|
QueryPerf
|
You can use this method to retrieve
historical statistics; you can also use it as a raw data feed. For information
about retrieving the raw data collected on ESXi servers, see
Using the QueryPerf Method as a Raw Data Feed.
|
QueryPerfComposite
|
This method is designed for efficient
client-server communications.
QueryPerfComposite
usually generates less network traffic than
QueryPerf because it
returns a large-grained object, a
PerfCompositeMetric
data object, that contains all the data.
