I haven't been following this thread in detail, so this comment may not 
be relevant, but ...
If the PMDA is using dynamic metric names (not dynamic instances) for 
this data, then pmlogger will only log the metric _names_ that exist at 
the time pmlogger starts ... instances can come and go, but the PMNS 
will not be re-explored by pmlogger once it has parsed the configuration 
file.
