# Class CIM_MetricInstance
extends CIM_Dependency

Weak association of metric value objects with their metric definition. This association ties an instance of CIM_BaseMetricValue to its CIM_BaseMetricDefinition; it is weak because the existence of a CIM_BaseMetricValue depends on the existence of its associated CIM_BaseMetricDefinition: An instance of CIM_BaseMetricValue must not exist without being associated to its corresponding CIM_BaseMetricDefinition.
