using ESXTOP and swap
I have been instructed by a work colleague to create plugins Nagios that monitor the CPU, memory and swap usage of our ESX machines. Have almost completed the task, I will have questions my head around how an ESX Server uses Swap package. I understand it is swap dedicated to the console that can be listened to via the utility native linux 'free. ' My understanding is that this isn't the Exchange against what my colleague wants to monitor. In my view, that I would like to control the use of the Exchange reported by esxtop.
My question is how does a server ESX manage swap space and what is actually reported to me by the "SWAP/Mo' aka 'Swap used Mo' statistics given by esxtop?
An ESX server create/manage space separate global exchange on his SAN attached readers for all the VMS to use or does each VM create/manage their own space to swap out under construction?
It is more a global exchange space. It is now by vm, which is represented by the .vswp file located in each virtual machine itself. The virtual machine will create a swap file that is the difference between the memory allocated for them and the amount of memory reserved for him. Where a host is out of memory, and share page and balloon does not provide sufficient space, the virtual machine will swap the memory of their vswp file.

Just got an iMac nine to use domestic and it is incredibly slow
Hello
I just got an iMac 2015 submitted for use in the home, and it is very slow. I just implemented this evening, and I found that even before you install anything but immediately after you set up the computer, it could slip. So I decided to continue to get the parameters of my set and when he continued to be very slow (beach balls, long for applications) to open, impossible to install Office, etc., I decided to run Etrecheck. Here are the results of my race:

It seems I have a problem with the RAM not enough, but I find it a bit ridiculous as 8 GB in a device from end of 2015 (for an expensive computer no less) isn't enough to run at least * somewhat * smoothly. Nevertheless, I decided to quit Dropbox (it is synchronized and which could have been some of the question, and I ran Etrecheck again.)

This seems to have solved some problems, but as you can see, I run not really much at the moment other than Safari, which makes me fear. Has anyone else had problems of this kind? Is there a way to reduce the amount of memory used by El Capitan, or could I possibly downgrade to something like Yosemite? Or do I just have a defective machine?
Thank you!
Memory is not the problem, OS X is not the problem, nor the computer the problem; It's the shit you have loaded on the computer. Here's a suggestion.
Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch
Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:
- Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.
- When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) in the list to one side.
- Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
- Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
- Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.
- Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
- Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.
[Exclusive to use the foregoing authorization to theratter by khati.]
This should install a new copy of Mac OS X on the computer. Now, install any third-party software and give the computer a few hours to complete Spotlight indexing during which the computer will run slowly. Then it check to see if it works OK. Do not install any third-party anti-malware or software equipment cleaning as you had installed before. You have not need software Path Finder, CleanMyMac or other MacPaw, Spotify, or stream. Part of the problem is the installation of the software that is not completely compatible that looks like DropBox. You may need an updated version.

ESXTOP and Resxtop commands (need help for - n)
Hi all
I'm studying for my VCAP-DCA and I still can't understand what means the - n command and the way of working out the value. I know that it stands for "number of iterations. resxtop (or esxtop) collects and records statistics that many times and then exits. "according to the documentation, but I can't work, how to calculate the number. Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm really lost.
Example : I want to use esxtop to collect data for 2 minutes at intervals of 3 seconds and the output file
I ran esxtop b d 3 n? > > test.csv
-b is the batch mode
d - sets the time in seconds
but I do not know what to put in a - n
Another example: I want to use esxtop to collect data to the output file at 5-minute intervals for 12 hours
I ran esxtop b d 300 n? > > test1.csv
is there a formula for n (time x 60) or something like
Thanks in advance for your comments
-n is just the number of iterations. That's all. If you want 1 million iterations and a delay of 5 then there will be 5 million capture of the values of the r/esxtop but - n is literally just the number of iterations

How to get the full name (device disk) using esxtop?
Hello
I am looking for storage settings using esxtop - pressing 'u' for drive.
As I use the iSCSI (open file server) device, I couldn't see the identifier of the full device. Can someone help me to get this.
I have attached the screenshot of esxtop for this...
Any idea? Thanks in advance.
In ESXTOP enter a capital 'L' and type a number to make the larger DEVICE field. Depending on the length of the name of the device - you might need to up to 40 characters to present the full name.
Entering the '?' in ESXTOP will give you the options you can set (this information is also there as well).

only root can use esxtop :/
Hello
I created an esxi host vsphere client user n added to the root group.
Let's say UserA.
If I connect to esxi PuTTY using wear so I'm not able to use ESXTOP
It displays - sh: esxtop: not found
How to activate esxtop for different user?
Yes, but it would not help since esxtop must be run as root. Only way to run it without beeing root is the approach of vMA and resxtop that I mentioned above.

Another step forward and two steps back...
I have a rollover in a table cell image. It works very well: white, reversal of deployment yellow to white.
I then added a behavior Swap Image to the same rollover image. The swap image works fine, but the rollover image returns to its original state (white) to decelerate. She remains in his State (yellow) overview.
No idea why this is happening?

Apply the image TWICE switching behavior. For the first application, do the

That means "use work and movement? ''
When you open the window of information on an album, there is a checkbox for "use work and movement". What does that mean? Feel if you tick the box?
Thank you!
'Work' and 'movement' are designed for orchestral works - so does that music as Beethoven symphonies can be arranged.

I do my job to the computer on a MAC book PRO. I want to create a document using Pages and then convert the document to PDF and send a group email.

I spoke with 2 Apple. 'Experts' care and can help me. Can someone tell me what to do?
It's a question of how the recipients e-mail programs deal with attachments. Many e-mail programs will open all the files they can handle, including files jpg and PDF, by default, and if the recipient has not changed that there is nothing you can do about it. The only solution is to the compress first, then it will be delivered as an attachment, allowing the recipient to decompress and open it.

I have been using Thunderbird and Firefox for more than 12 months and at that moment there registered for Mozilla Support. Several times during this period, I tried to connect to the Support without success due to 'details' unrecognized and as advised, my email address has been sent, so that a new password can be generated. Each time, Mozilla responded by saying that a link of e-mail had been sent to me to generate a new password. I have never received such an email from Mozilla, so I've never been able to access the media.
I guess that the apparent success today is maybe because of me go a different route to get a valuable source of information. I hope that is correct and have no role in «good luck»Well, you're here now. I have never had such problems myself so it is difficult to know what to say about the difficulties that you had.

I do not use sync and am not connected? Why my favorites are synchronization?
My desktop computer has a series of bookmarks that I use at work. My home PC has another, different set of bookmarks that I use at home. I do not use sync and am not connected to sync on each PC. Why my favorites are the synchronization between two PCs? For example, I noticed several bookmarks near the top of my bookmark menu over a line of separation that I do not have to work. I deleted them. I come home and find those missing same bookmarks from my PC at home. I do not want to synchronize anything between the two computers, why what is happening?
Maybe an add-on is the sync these for you.

IMO, request master password dialog box is not well labeled, and its identity (and authentic) seem a little in doubt whenever it appears. It is possible that someone could be spoof using JS and I could unwittingly put my "skeleton key" to a thief? Please tell me I'll be paranoid!
I don't think a script in an ordinary web page has the permission to read your passwords for other Web sites, even if you are not using a master password. It should be limited to see what password manager fills in the page.
For this reason, even if a page has captured your master password, I don't think that he could use it in a harmful way. But I'm maybe not quite devious.
