Hi,
I have esxi server with 32 processor (logical, HT enabled) and how do I get per processor usage average using powercli (same as displayed in vcenter CPU realtime usage stats)
Try like this
Get-VMHost |
Get-Stat -Realtime -Stat 'cpu.usage.average' -MaxSamples 1 -Instance '' |
Select @{N='ESXi';E={$_.Entity.Name}},Value
Thanks for replying Luc.
This script gives only one value per ESXi, I believe its average of all processor usage.
But my requirement was CPU usage "per processor" in my ESXi at the time I run the script. Basically i'm trying to get something like PCPU USED% in ESXTOP where it shows up all 32 processor usage individually in a line and a average atlast. This can also been seen in vcenter when we select a ESXi host and then performance CPU in realtime. We can see all the processor named as 0,1,2.... and we can see the average for every processor.
Yes, that is correct, the above lines give the average per ESXi.
If you want to see values for all cores, you could do
Get-Stat -Realtime -Stat 'cpu.usage.average' -MaxSamples 1 |
where{$_.Instance -ne ''} |
Select @{N='ESXi';E={$_.Entity.Name}},Timestamp,Instance,Value
Since you mentioned esxtop and PCPU, you might also want to have a look at Get-EsxTop – Another Look
Thanks Luc, its this one I was looking for.
Just one question how to "numeric" sort the field Instance? When I use sort-object on instance it sorts like 0,1,11,12... Instead I need 0,1,2,3,4....
Should we declare "instance" as [int] ?
Yes, something like this for example
Select @{N='ESXi';E={$_.Entity.Name}},Timestamp,@{N='Instance';E={[int]$_.Instance}},Value |
Sort-Object -Property ESXi,Instance
Thanks Luc, works good.
