Quite a bit of CPU performance information is available. In the section “Monitoring CPU
Usage,” we'll discuss how to use these CPU performance objects and counters to monitor CPU
usage.
Viewing Memory Performance Information
If you select the Memory resource type in the Chart Options section of the Chart Options dialog
box, you can display different objects and counters. The Memory resource type is not available
when viewing the Performance tab of a datacenter object. It is available for clusters, ESXi hosts,
resource pools, and individual VMs.
Table 13.3 lists the most important objects and counters available for memory performance
information. A complete list of all memory performance counters can be found at
