Analyzing performance data

[marius1]

VMware Infrastructure client provides several pages of performance counters for the ESXi server I need to tune.

Where can I find documentation to understand the meaning of counters?

I need to understand, for example, what is the meaning of "Memory Baloon" or "Host/wim/hostd/nursery"...
