Help me please..
Hi,
real-time stats are actually provided by the ESXi hosts, not vCenter. That's why you cannot find them in the database.
If you need to obtain real-time stats, you can use PowerShell or Perl SDK to query them. In my experience, using Perl is noticeably faster and eventually I re-wrote my old PS script to Perl.
Funnily enough, I just wrote a simple tutorial for this
All you need to do is to install vSphere Perl SDK on a linux machine and then create a script using this guide:
