Easy test to distinguish host metrics from container metrics?

[Richard Wong <richard.wong.com@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am currently experimenting with the use of the "container" parameter of the host specification to request a context from pmwebapi which I can use to fetch container metrics.

Are there any simple or straightforward tests I could try to verify that the metrics I get from subsequent fetches are indeed container metrics and not host metrics? So far using pmchart, I notice that the values of some metrics will be the same given a plain hostspec, a hostspec with a valid container, and a hostspec with a container which does not exist.

Cheers,

Richard
