esxtop is a great tool to monitor your host resource. What about if you want more information on the VM itself?
Connect to ESX server via ssh --> "esxtop" --> "c" (to switch to the CPU screen) Now you will see somthing like this:
Now what about if I want to see the VM named "bs-bcs-vc01"?
I can type "e" --> now it will ask me about the GID which is 20 in this case. so I type in "20" hit enter.
You now can see the CPU usage on all virtual CPU and the monitor processes (VMM), remote connections (MKS)
