vCenter VM CPU usage metrics vs VM Linux OS CPU usage metrics

Hi,

 

I notice that sometimes, there's a difference between the metrics given by the vCenter and those from the OS inside a VM.

For instance, at the moment, we have a SLES 12 VM for which the vCenter shows a real-time cpu usage between 73 and 97% although a vmstat indicates a max of 61%

Any idea what could explain the difference ? Should we trust the vCenter when it comes to monitor VM CPU usage ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Eric
