What free tools can I use to monitor CPU and real Memory usage for a Windows 2012 virtual machine in about a week?
I know pool can also be used to measure real ram usage of vm if pool contains only this vm.
If you have vCenter you can use it to monitor CPU and memory stats of the VM.
I know but I can see in real time while if I wish to monitor it in a week some data are not available but only minimal information.
you have to increase the vcenter stats level..
Configure Statistics Collection Intervals in the vSphere Web Client
Hi ,
If you want to monitor the CPU and Memory usage for last one week on the windows machine. You can use perfmon to set counters on Windows machine.
Please find below link for more information. Create a Data Collector Set to Monitor Performance Counters
You can also use ESXTOP command to get the detail information about CPU and Memory usage. Please find below URL for more information into it.
