Hello, 

First thank you for sharing this API. I made a small tool to load Processed Metrics PCM data in InfluxDB and Grafana and it's working really well :)

It's available here: http://nmon2influxdb.org and http://demo.nmon2influxdb.org 

For now, I am fetching all Processed Metrics samples available, it's the last two hours. I would like to fetch less data so NoOfSamples parameters seems good. 

I would like to confirm it will give me the X latest samples if I don't specify StartTS or EndTS. It's to avoid playing with dates if possible. :)

Thanks again for your work :)

Alain

Alain, glad to see those cool visualizations you have been able to create. Its great that you are already using the new attributes transmittedBytes and transferredBytes introduced in 8.5.0.

The following API for fetching processed metrics would work fine without the StartTS and EndTS fetching you the latest 10 samples.

https://<hmc-ip>:12443/rest/api/pcm/ManagedSystem/<uuid>/ProcessedMetrics?NoOfSamples=10

Considering the current time on the HMC is:

Fri Nov 25 11:27:18 UTC 2016

The StartTS and EndTS would automatically take the below values:

      "startTimeStamp": "2016-11-25T11:21:46+0000",
      "endTimeStamp": "2016-11-25T11:26:16+0000",

Hope that clarifies. Thanks.

Thanks. It seemed to behave like that but I wanted a confirmation :)

For transmittedBytes and TransferredBytes it's mostly because my test system was in 8.5.0. I didn't know when it was introduced :)

I need to check hmc 8.6.0 to see if new metrics are available :)

Regards,

Alain
