I have been recently going over the VMware Infrastructure ESX Server Zenpack at:

docs/DOC-9384

I have had it up and running now for a little bit though ive been looking at ways to add more data to it if I need to. The question I have is when you run those esx top commands you get a bunch of data back how are the datapoints getting the correct data out of it.

One thing I noticed that was wrong with it is the Free Mbytes when you run esx top against the memory it returns two values with the name Free Mbytes and the zenpack is grabing the wrong one for the ESX host free memory.

My goal was to figure out and understand how it was grabing the wrong one and what could be done to fix that.

Thanks,

Ryan
