Virtualization > vSphere Top Utilization

This report displays the ESXi Hosts with the highest utilization. This report can be generated as:

  • A "Top N" report, where you select a utilization statistic (CPU, Memory, or Availability) and the number of guest ESXi Hosts to include on the report. The Hosts that will be included in the report are those with the highest values for the specified utilization statistic. For each ESXi Host included in the report, the report displays default columns of Rank, ESXi Host, Guest VM, Device Group, Device Organization, VM Guest OS, CPU % Peak, CPU % Average, Memory % Peak, Memory % Average, Availability % Peak, and Availability % Average.
