Can I view NFS ops requested PER VM and sort from highest to lowest?

I'm trying to find out which VM's are the most demanding on our NFS storage.  Is there a way in vROPS to generate a report in this way?

Sure all our NFS traffic is out a 10gig nic designated for it, and our cacti bandwidth graphing tool and VNX5200 diagnostics tools can see the aggregate traffic coming out of a port, but how can I break this down?  I can see if a host is using 2gb of network traffic on the storage nic but I'd like to know WHAT VM's on that host are contributing to that overall picture.

As far as i know you wont be able to see what VM is generating the most network traffic on the NIC as the VM writes to a datastore and it is the host that sends the data through the NIC and the host would only tell you what datastore is generating the IO. That said you could create a view that shows you the amount of IO each VM is generating on the datastore If you wanted a dashboard you could use a top n widget
