Hello, i have host with ESXi 5.5 with CPU with TurboBoost technology.

how can i monitor actual frequency of cores in physical processor(s)?

Dear MAA

This can be done with Performance Counters using the PerfCount Custom sensor.

This channel definition provides you the clock rate of the first CPU and its first core:

\Processor Information(0,0)\Processor Frequency::MHz

This PerfCounter Custom sensor show error:

"Unable to connect to the specified computer, or the computer is offline. (Performance Counter error 0x800007D0)"

I am sorry, I overlooked the "ESXi" part. Only Windows computers can be monitored this way, (as long as the Remote Registry Windows service is running on the target device.)

ok, how to monitor the physical core frequency on ESXi?

Dear MAA

PRTG has no out-of-the-box sensors for this. If you somehow can get the frequency (with a script via SOAP for example) you could create a custom script to import that data to PRTG.
