Each of the metric groups gives insight from the vantage point of the object. For example, the ESXi adapter metric group provides the data from each adapter (vmhba).

The following two tables show the set of counters available for each ESXi adapter and its associated storage paths.

Note

As shared earlier, you normally set four paths between an ESXi host and its ...
