  • device-id - used for identifying the device the metric belongs to.

  • im.name, im.dstype - all of these are used for naming the metric and providing additional detail for the type of metric it is.

    • im.dstype: Data Storage Type; Can be either "counter" or "gauge"

  • timestamp - the time the metric was collected.

  • value - the value of the metric

  • live-config - true/false whether live configuration is supported for this metric.

  • display-name, im.identity-tags, im.dstype.displayType - information pertaining to how to display this metric under live configuration.

    • im.dstype.displayType

      • bytes

      • kbytes - When displayed in the live config, will "force" the kb unit, as opposed to using the "kilobytes" displayType.

      • kilobytes - When displayed in the live config, this will use a "human readable" unit; e.g., 1000 will display as "1 MB".

      • percentage (0-100)

      • duration (converts milliseconds to a human readable format)

      • state (0=down, 1=up)

      • boolean

      • number

      • date (in seconds since epoch)

        (leaving the displayType empty will treat the data as a simple string)
