 - VMs

+Additionally, the v1 VM API is supported for gathering additional stats not available in the v2 API. The config file for this endpoint is `vm_v1.yaml`.
+
 The response from the API contains a list of entities, each with a set of key-value pairs. The exporter will flatten these key-value pairs and expose them as Prometheus metrics.
 
 `/config` contains a YAML configuration file for each exporter. This is where the metrics to be collected are defined. Any value in the API response can be collected; however, the exporter will only collect metrics that are defined in the configuration file. It is important to note that nested fields in the API response are flattened and exposed like "parent_child", e.g. "stats_num_iops".
