"""
The HMC supports the retrieval of metrics values for resources of a IBM Z
or LinuxONE computer. This section describes the zhmcclient API for retrieving
such metrics from the HMC.

A resource termed :term:`Metrics Context` is associated with any metrics
retrieval. These resources are user-created definitions of the kinds of metrics
that are intended to be retrieved. A metrics context mostly defines the names
of the metric groups to be retrieved. The available metric groups are described
in section 'Metric Groups' in the :term:`HMC API` book.

The zhmcclient API for metrics provides access to the metric values and to
their definitions, so that clients using the metric values do not need to have
intimate knowledge about the specific metric values when just displaying them.

The basic usage of the metrics API is shown in this example:

.. code-block:: python

    # Create a Metrics Context for the desired metric groups:
    metric_groups = ['dpm-system-usage-overview', 'partition-usage']
    mc = client.metrics_contexts.create(
        {'anticipated-frequency-seconds': 15,
         'metric-groups': metric_groups})

    # Retrieve the current metric values:
    mr_str = mc.get_metrics()

    # Display the metric values:
    print("Current metric values:")
    mr = zhmcclient.MetricsResponse(mc, mr_str)
    for mg in mr.metric_group_values:
        mg_name = mg.name
        mg_def = mc.metric_group_definitions[mg_name]
        print("  Metric group: {}".format(mg_name))
        for ov in mg.object_values:
            print("    Resource: {}".format(ov.resource_uri))
            print("    Timestamp: {}".format(ov.timestamp))
            print("    Metric values:")
            for m_name in ov.metrics:
                m_value = ov.metrics[m_name]
                m_def = mg_def.metric_definitions[m_name]
                m_unit = m_def.unit or ''
                print("      {:30}  {} {}".format(m_name, m_value, m_unit))
        if not mg.object_values:
            print("    No resources")

    # Delete the Metrics Context:
    mc.delete()
