An administrator tries to run esxtop to troubleshoot CPU performance issues, but no output is displayed. How can the issue be resolved?

The correct answer is B. In esxtop, press f and place an asterisk next to each field that should be displayed.. When esxtop shows no output, the field display configuration must be activated by pressing 'f' to select which columns appear.

Options

  • Aesxtop is deprecated in vSphere 6.x, resxtop must be used to produce the desired output.
  • BIn esxtop, press f and place an asterisk next to each field that should be displayed.
  • Csudo should be run in front of esxtop to give the administrator the proper permissions.
  • DThe esxtop command must be run from the /proc directory to produce output.

Why each option

When esxtop shows no output, the field display configuration must be activated by pressing 'f' to select which columns appear.

Aesxtop is deprecated in vSphere 6.x, resxtop must be used to produce the desired output.

esxtop is not deprecated in vSphere 6.x and remains the primary real-time performance monitoring tool available directly on the ESXi host.

BIn esxtop, press f and place an asterisk next to each field that should be displayed.Correct

The esxtop interactive interface requires the user to press 'f' to enter the field-selection screen, where an asterisk must be placed next to each desired metric column before any data is rendered. Without at least one field enabled, esxtop has no columns to display and produces a blank screen.

Csudo should be run in front of esxtop to give the administrator the proper permissions.

ESXi does not use sudo for privilege escalation; the root account is used directly, so prefixing esxtop with sudo is not a valid or recognized operation on the platform.

DThe esxtop command must be run from the /proc directory to produce output.

The esxtop command does not require execution from a specific directory such as /proc and will function from any shell path when invoked.
