New ESXTOP PDF ressource diagram called “vSphere 5 ESXTOP quick Overview for Troubleshooting”. Troubleshooting ESX/ESXi ressources, performances, resources contention, all this might be difficult at first. There is a new Free PDF resource document available from German speaking blogger Andi Lesslhumer which might help to understand and learn some ESXTOP tricks. The document is in English.
The first version of the document version is 0.6 as Andy might be adding more features in the future to improve it even further. In case you have a suggestion or change request feel free to contact him through his blog – https://www.running-system.com/vsphere-5-esxtop-quick-overview-for-troubleshooting/ (German)
