How to ensure that ResourcePool.Summary.QuickStats is populated?

[atc0005]

I have a mo.ResourcePool value that I've named rp.

I'm attempting to retrieve the QuickStats.HostMemoryUsage struct field value like so:

fmt.Println(rp.Summary.GetResourcePoolSummary().QuickStats.HostMemoryUsage)

The GetResourcePoolSummary() method returns a pointer to types.ResourcePoolSummary. In our clusters I've found that the pointer is always non-nil. Others have tested and in their environment have found that the pointer to types.ResourcePoolSummary is nil.

What can be done to ensure that the quickStats property for the ResourcePoolSummary data object is populated?

The documentation indicates that the field need not be set. I take this to mean that one or more settings need to be adjusted in vSphere to collect those stats and expose them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT:

Others have tested and in their environment have found that the pointer to types.ResourcePoolSummary is nil.

Turns out that they tested directly against an ESXi host instead of a vCenter instance. Is the quickStats property not populated for resource pools on a standalone ESXi host?
