Oracle: V$METRICNAME

v$metricname contains a list of metric-names, their units and ids, and an id that specifies to which metric group a metric belongs.
Some of these metrics (but apparently not all of them) can be queried from v$metric_history and v$metric. «Missing» metrics are:
select metric_name from v$metricname minus
select metric_name from v$metric;

Grouping metrics on their group

break on group_name

select 
  group_name,
  metric_name,
  metric_unit
from
  v$metricname
order by
  lower(group_name),
  lower(metric_name);
