A small word here. I am a fairly new administrator to VmWare and ESXi so I don't know all the ins and outs of the construct but I am facing the following challenge:
In the workplace I am in, the only Royal TS instance used is my personal one. I have configured my RoyalTS in a way that suits my needs with all my administrators and connections. Now I have the challenge, that our ESXi environment faces performance peaks. It is very random and not fully traceable, to which VM is causing those jumps. To remedy that, I want to implement a performance monitor on my Royal instance. But doing so results in an error that there are not enough rights to do so. Now the question:
Do I need to prepare an account on the ESXi instance that has the specific rights and credentials and save it in Royal TS as the preferred Logon credentials or am I mistaking something here?
Many thanks for any help/Links/Articles I can dig through to understand it better.
Greetings
Vlad

I'm afraid you can't use the performance view for the ESXi host directly. To be honest, I'm not sure if VMware has even an API to get performance data at that level. The performance view only works with Windows performance counter. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
can you tell me exactly what you did and what error you see? Maybe some screenshots? I suspect you are using the Performance View but this will only work with Windows Performance Counters of ESXi instances running Windows. Do you want to see perf data from ESXi itself?
If you are not comfortable sharing screenshots here in the public, feel free to open a support ticket.

Sure. I configured the basic performancemetrics in the settingspage, that I wanted to see and hit connect. for reference, these are the metrics, and a screenshot of the error:

Ohhhh... Well, it was the idea to use it on ESXi itself, and yes I am using the performance view. But if this only works on Windows machines, I suspect I would only be able to use it on something like Hyper-V... Would there be an alternative or is this not a feature at all in Royal TS?
Many thanks for the support!
