additional vsphere metric in metricbeat - feature request

[drav3nmc]

Is it possible for the vsphere module in metricbeats to get the following additional metric

virtualmachine cpu.usage.average

[amandahla]

I'm not sure if vSphere API provides this information. Do you know that?

This module gets the information documented here and related to CPU the following properties are available:

• overallCpuDemand: Basic CPU performance statistics, in MHz. Valid while the virtual machine is running.
• overallCpuUsage (we use this): Basic CPU performance statistics, in MHz. Valid while the virtual machine is running.
• staticCpuEntitlement: The static CPU resource entitlement for a virtual machine.

It seems that this and many other metrics can be collected using performance metrics. There is an example about this here: https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/performance/example_test.go

Metricbeat 7.14 will include metrics for total and free CPU per virtualmachine, based on the configured CPU reservation (#26167).

Closing this by now, other metrics would be covered by #20313.
