Re: Historical data from esxtop?
-d is the delay in seconds and -n is the number of interations. So -d 20 -n 4320 will give you 24 hours of data with a 20 second sample interval.

Are all of your VM's running on the same physical disks on which the ESXi system is installed? How many VMs? I wonder if you have a VM with some runaway I/O processing causing the host system to...

It'll be sampling for the next 24 hours. Do you have a stand alone host or are you using vCenter?
View ArticleRe: Historical data from esxtop?
Ahh... I was hoping to go BACK 24 hrs... not start now for 24hrs. Im running the command connected to the esxi host... I think you can only run esxtop against a host, and not a vcenter server.
View ArticleRe: Historical data from esxtop?
vCenter stores historical data / ESXi is realtime (up to 36 hours with a hack). If you don't have vCenter then you're not going to get data from the last 24 hours.
View ArticleRe: Historical data from esxtop?
vCenter wasnt giving me the info I needed so I was hoping esxtop would/could.. no worries though. I know how to do this for the future though, thanks!
