Explanation

To collect detailed per-VM CPU metrics--especially CPU Ready (%RDY)--the correct command- line utility on an ESXi host is esxtop. This tool provides real-time, low-level performance data for CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, and is the authoritative method for diagnosing CPU contention issues in VMware environments. When troubleshooting high CPU Ready times, esxtop allows administrators to: View CPU contention at the VM level Inspect co-stop, wait, and scheduling delays Monitor NUMA distribution and pCPU saturation Capture historical performance snapshots using batch mode
