# Class CIM_MetricDefForME
extends CIM_Dependency

This association ties a CIM_BaseMetricDefinition to a CIM_ManagedElement to define metrics for the latter. The metrics definition is given context by the ManagedElement, which is why the definition is dependent on the element.

Name | Data Type | Value
MetricCollectionEnabled | uint16 | 2
Description | string | MetricCollectionEnabled indicates whether the metric defined by the referenced CIM_BaseMetricDefinition is being collected for the referenced CIM_ManagedElement. A value of 2 "Enabled" shall indicate the metric is being collected. A value of 3 "Disabled" shall indicate the metric is not being collected. When collection of a metric is re-enabled, the metric is re-initialized such that any values for a current access metric reflect data collected after the time at which collection was re-enabled.
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, .., 32768..65535
Values | string | Enabled, Disabled, Reserved, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
RecordedSince | datetime |
Description | string | If a metric is being collected for an instance of CIM_ManagedElement, the RecordedSince indicates when the capturing of the metric began. If MetricCollectionEnabled is 3 "Disabled", the RecordedSince property shall have a value of 99990101000000.000000+000. A value of NULL shall indicate the beginning of the metric capture period is unknown.
