.. note::
1510+
The metrics or statistics for VMs and VM disks in CloudStack depend on the
1511+
hypervisor plugin used for each hypervisor. The behavior can vary across
1512+
different hypervisors. For instance, with KVM, metrics are real-time
1513+
statistics provided by libvirt. In contrast, with VMware, the metrics are
1514+
averaged data based on the global configuration parameter
1515+
`vmware.stats.time.window` and a lower value for the configuration may help
1516+
observe statistics closer to the real-time values.
