Hi,
I am working on the ESXi 5.5performance monitoring, I want to get cpu/memory usage, my system information is as below( this os do not have any popular tools as it in other linux, like free, iostat and so on. )
/tmp # vmware -v
VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820
/tmp # uname -a
VMkernel btodesx1.asiapacific.hpqcorp.net 5.5.0 #1 SMP Release build-1331820 Sep 18 2013 23:08:31 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I When I using "esxtop -b -d 2 -n 1" it returns hundreds of columns, and I have no idea which to pick up. Do anyone knows if there is any tricks to fetch cpu/memory usage?
Also I need to get the disk usags on this ESXi server but when ran "df -h" I got following information, this is not the same as usual as other system information.
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
VMFS-5 271.8G 257.6G 14.1G 95% /vmfs/volumes/datastore1
VMFS-5 279.2G 117.8G 161.4G 42% /vmfs/volumes/DS02
vfat 4.0G 26.6M 4.0G 1% /vmfs/volumes/52aeefef-6eb128f8-8307-d8d385d9c9e8
vfat 249.7M 157.0M 92.7M 63% /vmfs/volumes/c3486079-b25a8044-10c8-69cf4470eb62
vfat 249.7M 8.0K 249.7M 0% /vmfs/volumes/efad9e7e-b1eae333-9cc9-0e20b0990d20
vfat 285.8M 191.3M 94.6M 67% /vmfs/volumes/52aeefe3-8f940ab8-3729-d8d385d9c9e8
and "vdf -h" shows below information, so far from the output of these two commands I would like to know how to calculate the disk usage correctly.
Ramdisk 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
root 32768 512 32256 1% --
etc 28672 184 28488 0% --
tmp 196608 168572 28036 85% --
hostdstats 566272 5828 560444 1% --
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have a look at VMware vSphere 4 - ESX and vCenter Server and here ESXTOP - Yellow Bricks
"df -h"
Reports file system disk space usage
Whereas vdf is more particular about visorfs, so what you are seeing from vdf, is the usage statistics of ESXi's filesystem.
