#
# This function will get handy in case we want to fetch Counters
# which have instances which might be helpful to group by their
# instances name. This will apply to Disk and Network Interface
# outputs for example, as it would be helpful to combine all
# counter results for a specific disk / interface in one
# result for easier working with these informations
