Do you not even have non-privileged access to the host? If you can't access the host _at all_, and you can't petition the host owner to give guest systems access to files like /proc/stat, there isn't really any method of monitoring it. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Do you mean that you want to monitor the host system from the guest? Can you not just SSH into the host from the guest? You can also infer CPU usage from the /proc/stat file on the host system, if you can share files over NFS or some other file-sharing means. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] OT: Can a linux vmware guest tell if its host is CPU constrained?
Having performance issues on a linux vmware guest that doesnt run vmtools because its an 'appliance', but it does allow shell access. I assume CPU utilisation shown by top etc is the utilisation of the vCPUs. Is there any way to discover or infer host CPU issues?

If not, do they get a DHCP IP address? Do they have a default route?
