Hi,

Can you guys tell me the command from VI SDK to get the CPU and Memory utilization of an ESX server.

The HostListSummaryQuickStats object will probably provide what you are looking for. This is available from HostSystem.

Are you looking for a code sample?

Please find a perl script, fetching the cpu usage and memory usage.

Here's an answer in PowerShell:

Process {
	$HostView = Get-View $_.Id
	$Process = "" | Select-Object VMHostName, OverallStatus, OverallCpuUsage, OverallMemoryUsage
	$Process.VMHostName = $_.Name
	$Process.OverallStatus = $HostView.Summary.OverallStatus
	$Process.OverallCpuUsage = $HostView.Summary.Quickstats.OverallCpuUsage
	$Process.OverallMemoryUsage = $HostView.Summary.Quickstats.OverallMemoryUsage
	Write-Output $Process
}

For more details and output examples, see my blog post about it here: http://halr9000.com/article/492
