Hy
I have executed the following command: “esxtop -b -d 2 -n 100 -c esxtopstoragecounters > /tmp/esxtopstoragecounters.csv”
How can I now get the .csv file from the Host to analyze with Permon?
We use ESXi 5.0.0 installed on an SD-Card.
Thanks for your help.

William – thanks for the link. The article you referenced on interpreting ESXTOP (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9279) is a great one. As you suggested, building out a counter list is a great way to automate reviewing ESXTOP stats in Perfmon. I’d also love to build out a PAL (http://www.codeplex.com/PAL) template to interpret and report on ESXTOP stats when I find some time….
