Hi,

How to get the below metrics from vcenter server, I’m using inputs.vsphere plugin, but unable to get these values. If we need use any other steps or any different code, please share it. Thanks in advance.

(VSM_DVS) Displays the overall status of the distributed virtual switch
(VSM_CLUSTER)-Displays the status of a cluster.
(VSM_VNET_PERF) Displays the status of the Network Interface Card(NIC)
(VSM_MEMORY_V2)-Displays the percentage amount of memory that is over committed on a host.
(VSM_HOST)-Displays the current connection status for a host (ESX server).
(VSM_HBA)-Displays the operational status of a storage adapter.
(VSM_HOST) Displays the total time elapsed since the last system startup
(VSM_Datastore)-Displays the connectivity status of the current datastore.

# Common vSphere Performance Metrics

The set of performance metrics in vSphere is open ended. Metrics may be added or removed in new releases
and the set of available metrics may vary depending hardware, as well as what plugins and add-on products
are installed. Therefore, providing a definitive list of available metrics is difficult. The metrics listed
below are the most commonly available as of vSphere 6.5.

For a complete list of metrics available from vSphere and the units they measure in, please reference the [VMWare Product Documentation](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.monitoring.doc/GUID-FF7F87C7-91E7-4A2D-88B5-E3E04A76F51B.html) or the [VMWare Performance Manager Documentation](https://vdc-repo.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/eda658cb-b729-480e-99bc-d3c961055a38/dc769ba5-3cfa-44b1-a5f9-ad807521af19/doc/vim.PerformanceManager.html)

To list the exact set in your environment, please use the govc tool available [here](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/tree/master/govc)

To obtain the set of metrics for e.g. a VM, you may use the following command:

```shell
govc metric.ls vm/*
```
