2026 update. This page originally promised an ESXTOP analysis tool. What I published for vSphere is a PAL threshold file, vmwarevsphere3.xml, which is on GitHub alongside my View threshold files at github.com/joshuatownsend/VMwareViewPAL. PAL itself now lives at github.com/clinthuffman/PAL.
I’ve since built PAL-X, a modern successor to PAL: a .NET 8 command-line tool and REST API that reads PerfMon CSV and BLG captures, evaluates declarative YAML rule packs, and produces evidence-linked JSON, HTML and Markdown reports. It covers Windows, IIS, SQL Server, Hyper-V, Active Directory and more. It does not analyze ESXTOP data. Documentation is at joshuatownsend.github.io/PAL-X.
