vSphere 6 ESXTOP quick overview for Troubleshooting

Working with ESXTOP can be very tricky. The tool provides a large number of values but the names are partially shorten not very meaningful. Another challenge is to know the thresholds indicating a problem.

To make life easier, I’ve created the “vSphere ESXTOP quick overview for troubleshooting” poster 2013 for vSphere 5 and updated it for vSphere 5.5.

With vSphere 6 some new metrics were introduced, respectively there were some changes (eg. ESXi host memory states) – you can find them all in the latest version:

The poster is provided as an A3 download, if you have eagle-eyes you can fit it to A4 when you print it. If you think that there is something missing or wrong, do not hesitate and let me know.
