Interpreting performance metrics

Hi everyone,I’m using the API to pull VM performance stats, however I’m having trouble interpreting what I’m seeing.For instance, I’m pulling “hypervisor.cpu_ready_time_ppm” for one of my VMs and getting the following output:{ "statsSpecificResponses": [ { "successful": true, "message": null, "startTimeInUsecs": 1576458000000000, "intervalInSecs": 30, "metric": "hypervisor.cpu_ready_time_ppm", "values": [ 108, 97, 144, 107, 89, 92, 78, 74, 47, 49, 90,.... Output truncated for brevityI get that the metric is a percentage but obviously you can’t have 144% of time, so how should I interpret these values?What I really need is a guide and/or reference that explains all of these metrics and how to interpret them.I found the following link but it doesn’t really tell me what I want to know:https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-Prism-v51:mul-alerts-user-created-metrics-r.html
