Exporting perf info on a single VM or multiple VM's using esxtop

[MrJohnson]

Hello All,

I've searched for a way to export performance info on a single VM and a select set of VM's and was unsuccessful. 

I know I can do "esxtop > /tmp/perf.csv" to get the info from the esxtop.  The problem is when having 40+ VM's running on a host makes it difficult to read afterwards.

My gaul is to get the perf info on VM-001, VM-002, VM-003 only.

Please help and thanks in advance.

Will

Why dont you use RVTools to get the report .? Its a nice tool to satisfy your needs.

[MrJohnson]

Thanks for the reply.  This is the first I've heard of the RVTools.  I will have to see what I can find on it.  Do you have any suggestions where to start?

I'm guessing here?  RVTools - Home

Will the RVTools show me info in real time as esxtop does?

[MrJohnson]

I do like the RVTools, but it doesn't seem to output the info from the VM's in real time.  Using "esxtop > /tmp/perf.csv" I can let it run for a time period and view that info.  Also, this tool is showing all the VM's and not just the ones I need info from.

But I do like the tool, thanks

Here is an example of what I'm looking for.  I just want to bring down the info to a select few of VM's and the info to get, like CPU, Mem, etc:
