View labels of Array- Performance-counters

The recently introduced function --discover  of the NetApp perfdata getter has been updated with a new function: From now on, the labels of array counters will also be displayed. This enables a more focused search for values that are to be used for the monitoring process and trend analysis.

Example Consistency Points: This performance counter returns a whole range of numbers. The labels indicate the meaning of each number.

$ perl get\_netapp\_perfdata.pl -H sim812cm-n1 -o wafl --discover=counters
