• Abbr: string
  Type Abbreviation

  Example: Conn
• Direction: integer
  Direction Allowed Values: - 0 => Descending (Normal) - 1 => Ascending

  Example: 0
• FormatID: integer
  Format ID Allowed Values: - 0 => Integer - 1 => Float

  Example: 0
• MetricGroupID: integer
  Metric Group ID

  Example: 141
• MetricTypeName: string
  The metric type name.
  To avoid confusion with numeric IDs, the name value cannot be integers only or integers prefixed with the + or - symbols only. It must contain letters or other characters. For example, 1234, +1234, and -1234 are not valid, but US1234, US+1234 and US_1234 are.

  Example: Apache Accesses
• TopNScopeID: integer
  TopNScope Allowed Values: - 0 => Disabled - 1 => Utilization - 2 => Value - 3 => Both

  Example: 0
• TopNTypeID: integer
  TopNType Allowed Values: - 0 => Both - 1 => Average - 2 => Peak

  Example: 0
• Unit: string
  Type Unit

  Example: Connections

  UnitDivisionID Allowed Values: - 0 => None - 60 => Time - 1000 => SI (1000) - 1023 => Deprecated Binary (1000) - 1024 => Binary/IEC (1024)

  Example: 0
• ValueType: integer
  Value Type Allowed Values: - 0 => Raw - 100 => Utilization
