capture network traffic of vm

I have old cluster with venter 6.0 and ESXi 6.0 hosts, I need to capture network traffic of specific virtual machine "A" , which belongs to port group of vSwitch; this port group has 10 virtual machine which are in production.

I thought to create new vm and to install wire shark to capture all traffic and I want to make sure that the promiscuous mode cannot create issue to other virtual machines of the same port group.

I thought to enable port mirror for the only port where is linked virtual machine "A" to new vm, but perhaps It can be possibile only if you have virtual distributed switch but this one is not my case! 

What can you suggest me please?
