+# 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.
+
+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:
+```
+govc metric.ls vm/*
+```
