VMWare Fling of the Day - VirtualESXTop

NetworkNerd

If you have done much with VMWare troubleshooting using esxtop, this is a handy addition to your toolkit - VisualESXTop.

Here's a blog post that gives some background on how to use it: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/esxtop/. What I like most about it is the ability to make charts so you can see the performance data in real time. It works on ESXi 5.5u1a at least, but I have not tested it on higher versions.

If you have not used it, check it out!

VeeamOne Free is also a really nice utility to look at what's going on in your VMWare environment. Plus, it's pretty friendly.

Are you running it on the same server as your Veeam B & R install or on a different server?

Same server. It's on a VM that also runs Spiceworks, WSUS, and PDQDeploy. Lot's of good graphs. I'm using the "paid" version, but the free looks like it has many of the same features.
