Modify the Metadata to Omit Resource Names

The following table provides an overview of elements to define in your class metadata. Some optional elements, such as events, are not shown. This table is focused on resources. In the "No Resources" column, all statistics are class statistics.

Table 4-1 Class Metadata Elements

No Resources	Statically Defined Resources	Dynamically Defined Resources
schema description id stability stat-names	schema description id instance-metadata namespaces stability stat-names static-instances	schema description id namespaces stability stat-names

In the /usr/lib/sstore/metadata/json/site/ directory, create the file class.app.util3.json with the following content. If you copy the file class.app.util2.json, the primary changes you need to make are:

• Delete the instance-metadata element.

• Delete the static-instances element.

The instance-metadata and static-instances elements are not used for dynamically allocated resources.

The stat-names element is the same as in the previous two examples. The namespaces element is still needed to define the type of the resources.

You might also want to update the description of the application and the name of the application in the id.

{
    "$schema": "//:class",
    "description": "Example util1 plus dynamically-allocated resources",
    "id": "app/util3",
    "namespaces": [
        {
            "name-type": "string",
            "resource-name": "inst"
        }
    ],
    "stability": "stable",
    "stat-names": [
        "//:stat.reads",
        "//:stat.writes",
        "//:stat.errors"
    ]
}

Create the file stat.util3.json, which is the same as the stat.util2.json file except that util2 is changed to util3 in each id value.

[
    {
        "$schema": "//:stat",
        "description": "reads",
        "id": "//:class.app/util3//:stat.reads",
        "stability": "stable",
        "type": "counter",
        "units": "operations"
    },
    {
        "$schema": "//:stat",
        "description": "writes",
        "id": "//:class.app/util3//:stat.writes",
        "stability": "stable",
        "type": "counter",
        "units": "operations"
    },
    {
        "$schema": "//:stat",
        "description": "errors",
        "id": "//:class.app/util3//:stat.errors",
        "stability": "stable",
        "type": "counter",
        "units": "errors"
    }
]

Restart the sstore:default service to add the new metadata to the statistics repository.

$ svcadm restart sstore:default

View the util3 statistic metadata.
