Finding a "chatty" VM in a datastore using vROPS

I'm trying to find a VM within a datastore that's not expanding but creating a high rate of change so causing large storage snapshots to occur. Using vROPS I don't seem to be able to have a top ten so to speak list of VMs by disk usage / IOPS. From the datastore view in vROPs I also try running reports such as VMs IOPs Distribution report but it comes back blank.

Any idea how I can quickly identify this VM other than check the performance of each VM individually in vCenter?

Thx

Try the Heavy Hitter VMs dashboard, select the correct cluster, and then look at "Which VMs Generated the Highest IOPS in the Last Week

Instead of selecting host cluster, can we get heavy hitter VMs list by selecting datastore or datastore cluster?
