CPU Panel
| Key | Metric | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | ID | ID | The ID of a running world. The world ID is typically cloaked and the group ID is displayed, unless the group is expanded with the "e" command. This also applies to groups with a single world. The ID is never identical to the GID. |
| B | GID | Group ID | The Group ID of a running world. A group is sometimes also referred as Resource Pool which has nothing in common with the Resource Pools you can configure in a DRS Cluster. Press 'N' to sort by GID column. |
| C | LWID | Leader World ID | The Leader World ID, also known as VMX Cartel ID for Virtual Machines. The LWID typcally the first world that has been started in a group. |
| D | NAME | Name | The name of a World's group. The number appended to the name is the LWID. When the group is expanded with the "e" command the name of the World is displayed. |
| E | NWLD | Number of Worlds | The number of worlds running in a Group. NWLD is 1 when either the Group as a single process, or when the group has been expanded with the "e" command. |
| F | %USED | Used | Percentage of physical CPU core cycles used by the world or group. %USED depends on the frequency the CPU core is running with and can be higher or lower compared to %RUN when the nominal (rated) frequency differs. Groups can also be higher than 100% when more vCPUs are configured or there is a high %SYS usage. %USED = %RUN + %SYS - %OVRLP Press 'U' to sort by %USED column. |
| F | %RUN | Run | Percentage of total scheduled time for the world to run. %RUN does not account hyperthreading and system time. On a hyperthreading enabled server, %RUN can be twice as large as %USED. The main difference between %RUN and %USED is that %RUN does not account system time. |
| F | %SYS | System | Percentage of time spent by the ESXi VMkernel on behalf of the world to process interrupts and to perform other system activities. A high %SYS usually means high IO. |
| F | %WAIT | Wait | Percentage of time a world spent in the blocked or busy wait state. This percentage also includes %IDLE. The theoretical maximum of %WAIT is (NWLD*100). It's nothing wrong when there is a high value because the idle time is included in %WAIT. 100%= %WAIT + %RDY + %CSTP + %RUN |
| F | %VMWAIT | Virtual Machine Wait | The total percentage of time a world spent in a blocked state waiting for events. The %VMWAIT metric is only available for vCPUS or combined in a VM group. For vCPUS when a Virtual Machine is expandede with the "e" command, %WAIT = %VMWAIT + %IDLE + %SWPWT |
| F | %RDY | Ready | The percentage of time the world was ready to run but waiting in a queue to be scheduled. This may happen even when there is plenty of free CPU cycles when a VM CPU is administratively limited which is shown by %MLMTD. To determine CPU contention from %RDY you have to take into account %RDY, %MLMTD and the number of vCPUS. If %RDY - %MLMTD is higher than 10% per vCPU you are very likely experiencing CPU contention. Typically you want to see %RDY close to 0. 100% = %RUN + %RDY + %CSTP + %WAIT Press 'R' to sort by %RDY column. |
| F | %IDLE | Idle | The percentage of time the vCPU world is in an idle loop. %IDLE is only available for vCPU worlds. Other worlds do not have idle loops, so %IDLE is 0. |
| F | %OVRLP | Overlap | The percentage of time spent by system services on behalf of other worlds. For example, if VM A is currently being scheduled and a network packet for VM B is processed by the ESXi VMkernel, the time spent appears as %OVRLP for virtual machine A and %SYS for virtual machine B. |
| F | %CSTP | CoStop | The percentage of time that the VM is ready to run but is waiting for the availability of other vCPUs. The co-deschedule state applies only for SMP VMs. The CPU scheduler might put a vCPU in this state, when the VM workload does not use vCPUs in a balanced fashion. For example, if you have a VM with 2 vCPUs running a non SMP aware application, utilizing 1 vCPU at 100% and 1 vCPU at 0%. In that case, the CPU scheduler penalties the VM to reduce resource shortage for other VMs. This is is represented as %CSTP. |
| F | %MLMTD | Max Limited | The percentage of time a world was ready to run but deliberately wasn't scheduled because doing so would violate the resource pool or virtual machine CPU limit. The %MLMTD time is included in %RDY time. If the value is not 0, the VM has been administratively limited. |
| F | %SWPWT | Swap Wait | The percentage of time a world spends waiting for the VMkernel to swap memory. The %SWPWT time is included in the %WAIT time. If %SWPWT is greater than 0, VMkernel is swapping the VMs memory to the disk. This will have a large negative impact in overall performance. Swapping can be caused by high memory oversubscription or memory limits configured on a resource pool or VM. |
| G | SWTCH/s | Switches/sec | Number of world switches per second. A context switch occurs when a CPU switches the execution from one world to another. |
| G | MIG/s | Migrates/sec | Number of migrations per second. A world can be migrated from a busy pCPU to a less loaded pCPU for load balancing. |
| G | QEXP/s | Quantum Expires/sec | Number of quantum expirations per second. This happens when a time quantum given to a currently running world expires. It is common that a world changes its state to WAIT before the current time quantum expires (50ms). |
| G | WAKE/s | Wakeups/sec | Number of world wakeups per second. A world wakes up when its state is changes from WAIT to READY |
| H | AMIN | Alloc Min | Resource pool, virtual machine, or world attribute reservation. A value of 0 means no reservation. |
| H | AMAX | Alloc Max | Resource pool, virtual machine, or world attribute limit. A value of -1 means unlimited. |
| H | ASHRS | Alloc Shares | Resource pool, virtual machine, or world attribute Shares. Default shares are -4 (High), -3 (Normal) and -2 (Low). When a custom share is configured, the value is displayed. |
| H | AMLMT | Alloc Min Limited | Undocumented parameter. |
| H | AUNITS | Allocated unit | Allocation unit (MHz for virtual machines) |
| I | %LAT_C | Latency CPU | The percentage of time the Resource Pool/World was ready to run but was not scheduled to run because of cpu resource contention. |
| I | %LAT_M | Latency Memory | The percentage of time the Resource Pool/World was ready to run but was not scheduled to run because of memory resource contention. |
| I | %DMD | Demand | The CPU demand in percentage. It represents the average active CPU load in the past 1 minute. |
| I | EMIN | Effective Min | Effective minimum cpu allocation in case of resource contention. This is the amount of MHz the world will receieve when virtual machines are competing for resources. |
| I | TIMER/s | Timer/sec | Timer rate for this world. |
| I | AFFINITY_BIT_MASK | Affinity Bit Mask | Bit mask showing the current scheduling affinity for the world. |
| I | CPU | CPU | The physical or logical processor on which the world was running when resxtop (or esxtop) obtained this information. |

| I | HTQ | HT Quarantine | Indicates whether the world is currently quarantined or not. N means no and Y means yes. |
| J | POWER | Power Usage Watts | Current CPU power consumption for a virtual machine (in Watts). Usage calculation is based on the value provided by the power supply. |
Memory Panel
| Key | Metric | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | ID | ID | The actual world ID is cloaked and the group ID is displayed. As you can't expand the group in the memory screen you can't see the real world ID. |
| B | GID | Group ID | The Group ID of a running world. A group is sometimes also referred as Resource Pool which has nothing in common with the Resource Pools you can configure in a DRS Cluster. Press 'N' to sort by GID column. |
| C | LWID | Leader World ID | The Leader World ID, also known as VMX Cartel ID for Virtual Machines. The LWID typcally the first world that has been started in a group. |
| D | NAME | Name | The name of a World's group. The number appended to the name is the LWID. Virtual Machines do not have a number appended. |
| E | NWLD | Number of Worlds | The number of worlds running in the Group. NWLD is 1 when the Group as a single process. |
| F | AMIN | Alloc Min | Resource pool, virtual machine, or world attribute reservation. A value of 0 means no reservation. |
| F | AMAX | Alloc Max | Resource pool, virtual machine, or world attribute limit. A value of -1 means unlimited. |
| F | ASHRS | Alloc Shares | Resource pool, virtual machine, or world attribute Shares. Default shares are -4 (High), -3 (Normal) and -2 (Low). When a custom share is configured, the value is displayed. |
| F | AMLMT | Alloc Min Limited | Undocumented parameter. |
| F | AUNITS | Allocated unit | Allocation unit (kilobytes for virtual machines) |
| G | NHN | Numa Home Nodes | Current home node for the resource pool or virtual machine. This statistic is applicable only on NUMA systems. If the virtual machine has no home node, a dash (-) appears. A virtual machine runs only on processors within its home node, and its newly allocated memory comes from the home node as well. A virtual machine can have multiple home nodes when the number of virtual CPUs exceeds the number of cores per physical socket. |
| G | NMIG | Numa Rebalance Count Delta | |
| G | NRMEM | Numa Remote Memory MBytes | Amount of remote memory allocated to the virtual machine. |
| G | NLMEM | Numa Local Memory MBytes | Amount of local memory allocated to the virtual machine. |
| G | N%L | Numa % Local | Percentage of local memory allocated to the virtual machine. This value should be close to 100%. A reason for poor NUMA locality can be that a virtual machine has more memory configured than it is available for each processor. Accessing remote memory causes increased latency. |
| H | MEMSZ | Memory Size MBytes | Amount of physical memory allocated to a virtual machine. This is the configured virtual machine memory. MEMSZ = GRANT + MCTLSZ + SWCUR + untouched Press 'M' to sort by MEMSZ column. |
| H | GRANT | Memory Granted Size MBytes | Amount of physical memory mapped to the virtual machine. If GRANT is lower than MEMSZ, either the guest has never used all of its configured memory or if it has been reclaimed by the balloon driver. |
| H | CNSM | Memory Consumed Size MBytes | Amount of the memory consumed by the virtual machine. The memory currently consumed by the virtual machine is equal to the amount of memory that the VM guest operating system currently uses, excluding the amount of memory saved by transparent page sharing and memory compression. |
| H | SZTGT | Target Size MBytes | Targeted amount of physical memory to be allocated. It is possible that SZTGT is higher than MEMSZ because it includes the virtual machine overhead memory. |
| H | TCHD | Touched MBytes | The amount of physical memory recently used (read or write) by the virtual machine. Touched memory is a working set estimate, which indicates how actively the VM is using its memory. This value is similar to the active memory reported by the guest OS. |
| H | TCHD_W | Touched Write MBytes | The amount of physical memory recently written by the virtual machine. |
| I | %ACTV | Active Estimate | Percentage of active guest physical memory, current value. |
| I | %ACTVS | Active Slow Estimate | Percentage of active guest physical memory, slow moving average. |
| I | %ACTVF | Active Fast Estimate | Percentage of active guest physical memory, fast moving average. |
| I | %ACTVN | Active Next Estimate | Percentage of active guest physical memory, predict of what %ACTVF will be at next sample. |
| J | MCTL? | Memctl? | Memory balloon driver is installed or not. N means no, Y means yes. The ballooning driver is part of VMware Tools. |
| J | MCTLSZ | Memctl MBytes | Amount of physical memory reclaimed from the virtual machine by ballooning. To decrease host memory pressure, the ballon driver inflates inside the virtual machine and makes the physical memory available for other virtual machines. The performance impact caused by ballooning is small and therefore preferred over swapping. Another reason for ballooning can be a configured memory limit (AMAX). Press 'B' to sort by MCTLSZ column. |
| J | MCTLTGT | Memctl Target MBytes | Amount of physical memory the ESXi system attempts to reclaim from the virtual machine by way of ballooning. |
| J | MCTLMAX | Memctl Max MBytes | The maximum amount of guest physical memory reclaimable by the balloon driver. |
| K | SWCUR | Swapped MBytes | Current swap usage by this virtual machine. |
| K | SWTGT | Swap Target MBytes | Target where the ESXi host expects the swap usage by the virtual machine to be. |
| K | SWR/s | Swap Read MBytes/sec | Rate at which the ESXi host swaps in memory from disk for the virtual machine. |
| K | SWW/s | Swap Written MBytes/sec | Rate at which the ESXi host swaps virtual machine memory to disk. |
| L | LLSWR/s | Llswap Read MBytes/sec | The rate at which memory is read from the host cache. When host caching is enabled, the ESXi host is able to swap to a local SSD, instead of the virtual machines datastore, which significantly reduces the impact caused by swapping. |
| L | LLSWW/s | Llswap Written MBytes/sec | Rate at which memory is written to the host cache. When host caching is enabled, the ESXi host is able to swap to a local SSD, instead of the virtual machines datastore, which significantly reduces the impact caused by swapping. |
| M | CPTRD | Checkpoint Read MBytes | The amount of data read from the checkpoint file. Data from a checkpoint file is read when a virtual machine is resumed from a suspended state. |
| M | CPTTGT | Checkpoint Target MBytes | The size of checkpoint file. The checkpoint file is used when a virtual machine is suspended. |
| N | ZERO | Zero MBytes | The size of virtual machine physical pages that are zeroed. A zero page is simply a memory page that is all zeros which can be easily used for page sharing. |
