Scenario 11

Scenario:

On a specific ESXi host, a set of VMs is not performing well. You intend to determine the root cause. To do so, you want to collect resource usage data at a level that is more granular than the vSphere Client performance graphs can provide.

Requirements:

Use resxtop to collect all statistical data for 2 minutes at 3-second intervals.
Export the data to a CSV file named results.csv.
Import the results.csv file into Windows Performance Monitor.
Use Windows Performance monitor to show the CPU ready time for all VMs over the 2-minute period.

Environment Information:

ESXi host: host-01.lab.local

VDCA510 Objective: 3.4 Utilize Advanced vSphere Performance Monitoring Tools
VDCA550 Objective: 4.1 Utilize Advanced vSphere Performance Monitoring Tools

Solution

Use this command from the vMA to collect data at 3-second intervals for 40 samples:

resxtop--server host-01.lab.lcoa-b –d 3 –n 40 >> results.csv

Use a tool such as WinSCP to copy the results.csv file from the vMA to the Windows desktop.
On the Windows desktop, launch Perfmon. Use the Source tab of its Properties page to change the source to the results.csv file.
Use the Data tab to change the counters to include just the CPU Ready Time.
