Hi Alberto,

For ObjectTables (Using “table”:”ObjectAlberto” for queries) , the list
and map should work fine.

But for StatsTables, the answer is more complicated.

Upto R2.1, we only record StatsTable samples for strings, ints and doubles.

Starting in R2.2, we do support structs and lists-of-structs in StatTables.
You would need to use the “tags” annotation against the structs and list
of struct you want recorded in this way.
Otherwise, the struct or list-of-structs will be ignored.

Maps are not supported.

For your example, it would work like this:

struct ServiceInfo2 {
1: string sometag
2: u64 someval
}
 
struct VMInfoObject {
   1: string                      cache_id
   2: string                      vm_id
   3: double                      cpu_used
   4: u64                         mem_used
6: list<ServiceInfo2> services2 (tags=“.someval”)
}

struct AlbertoAgent {

1: string name (key="ObjectAlberto")
   2: optional bool deleted

   3: optional list<VMInfoObject> VMInfo (tags=".cache_id,.vm_id")
}



You can query it in this way:

"table": “StatTable.AlbertoAgent.VMInfo.services2",

"where": [[
             {
                 "name": "name",
                 "op": 1,
                 "suffix": null,
                 "value": "lvelascoTurbo",
                 "value2": null
             },
{
"name": “VMInfo.cache_id",
"op": 1,
"suffix": null,
"value": “mycache",
"value2": null
},

{
"name": “VMInfo.services2.sometag",
"op": 1,
"suffix": null,
"value": “mytag",
"value2": null
}

         ]],
"select_fields": [
         “T=60", "COUNT(VMInfo.services2)",
"SUM(VMInfo.services2.someval)",
“VMInfo.vm_id”
     ],
