I didn't touch the machine ID naming (that is the name of a resource configuration property and remains as is).

The *name* of the resource types did not change. Only the *ID* of the types changed. So you will still see the name of the resource type "Operating System".

Also, the resource *IDs* did not change. Only the resource *type* ID changed, as well as the metric type ID and metric instance ID changed.

The changes to the IDs are something like this:

Resource Type: From "Operating System" to "Platform_Operating System"
Metric type ID: From "Total Memory" to "Platform_Memory_Total Memory"
Metric ID: From "MI~R~[the-resource-id]~MT~Total Memory" to "MI~R~[the-resource-id]~MT~Platform_Memory_Total Memory"
