@pete-s Yeah I saw that, but this won't output just the specific detail I'm looking for. It will output everything (and essentially bloat the logs).
I saw the same thing.
Thanks though
Make the script a two step process until you can figure it out.
- Dump it all to CSV.
- Then have the script remove unneeded data from CSV.

Or just pipe the output to grep, awk or whatever before writing it to file.
The batch mode of esxtop at least will let give you the information without having to do it interactively. -

@obsolesce awk is surprisingly simple to use. Easiest text processor that I know.

Why not just use PowerShell?
-
Does the esxi shell have awk?
-
@stacksofplates it might, I'll have to double-check next week

How would I use powershell when I'm ssh'd into the host?
I get that I can use powershell to pull details from the host, but that's a different approach than what I'm doing
