Hi, everyone

I have configured **vSphere module in Metricbeat 7.15.2** in order to get metrics from my **VMware hosts and VMs**.

**Metricbeat** send **all VM memory metrics** , here you are:

```auto
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.free.guest.bytes: 7.9GB
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.total.guest.bytes: 8GB
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.used.guest.bytes: 81MB
vsphere.virtualmachine.memory.used.host.bytes: 1.6GB

```

However, regarding **VM cpu metrics** , **Metricbeat**  **not send all** , here you are:

```auto
vsphere.virtualmachine.cpu.used.mhz: 540

```

Is it possible to **get more cpu VM metrics with vSphere Module**?

Thanks in advance 😃 ,

Regards

It all depends on what the VSphere GoLang sdk can pull.

Here is the list of stats that can be exposed via the SDK, some of which are already captured.

```auto
	OverallCpuUsage int32 `xml:"overallCpuUsage,omitempty"`
	OverallCpuDemand int32 `xml:"overallCpuDemand,omitempty"`
	GuestMemoryUsage int32 `xml:"guestMemoryUsage,omitempty"`
	HostMemoryUsage int32 `xml:"hostMemoryUsage,omitempty"`
	GuestHeartbeatStatus ManagedEntityStatus `xml:"guestHeartbeatStatus"`
	DistributedCpuEntitlement int32 `xml:"distributedCpuEntitlement,omitempty"`
	DistributedMemoryEntitlement int32 `xml:"distributedMemoryEntitlement,omitempty"`
	StaticCpuEntitlement int32 `xml:"staticCpuEntitlement,omitempty"`
	StaticMemoryEntitlement int32 `xml:"staticMemoryEntitlement,omitempty"`
	PrivateMemory int32 `xml:"privateMemory,omitempty"`
	SharedMemory int32 `xml:"sharedMemory,omitempty"`
	SwappedMemory int32 `xml:"swappedMemory,omitempty"`
	BalloonedMemory int32 `xml:"balloonedMemory,omitempty"`
	ConsumedOverheadMemory int32 `xml:"consumedOverheadMemory,omitempty"`
	FtLogBandwidth int32 `xml:"ftLogBandwidth,omitempty"`

Hi,

I have found out that **vsphere.virtualmachine.cpu.total.mhz** and **vsphere.virtualmachine.cpu.free.mhz** appears when it is set [cpuReservation](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/77346beb8a3e683d1874ef43d5259492167a75d2/metricbeat/module/vsphere/virtualmachine/virtualmachine.go#L148) in the virtual machine.
