The vmware.xml has a bug on VM Processor

[jeffstokes72]

Something seems to have changed in VMWare's perfmon counters. The template was made to collect individually named VM Processor counter objects. I think the name changed at some point on these.

The easy button is to have the data collector change from the individual call-outs to just

	<Counter>\VM Processor(*)\*</Counter>

as opposed to

<Counter>\VM Processor\% Processor Time</Counter>
<Counter>\VM Processor\CPU stolen time</Counter>
<Counter>\VM Processor\Effective VM Speed in MHz</Counter>
<Counter>\VM Processor\Host processor speed in MHz</Counter>
<Counter>\VM Processor\Limit in MHz</Counter>
<Counter>\VM Processor\Reservation in MHz</Counter>
<Counter>\VM Processor\Shares</Counter>

It's a lame fix but it's all I have (I don't run vmware here).

Each analysis in PAL must focus on a counter name, therefore \VM Processor(*)* will not work. I good update to the PAL Threshold File Editor would be to add a new analysis for each counter name. But at this point, I would rather completely rewrite PAL than fix this.

The thing is @clinthuffman , its the collection that's bugged, not the analysis.
Can you just change the output of the template to include the *, but still do the individual counter analysis by exact name?

For some reason, analysis by exact name is not working in PAL. I’m not sure why I didn’t allow for it. Sounds like I’m overdue to rewrite it again.
