Esxtop is a command-line tool used to monitor and troubleshoot the performance of VMware vSphere hosts. It provides real-time information about resource utilization, processes, and network statistics.
Esxtop can be accessed through an SSH session to the vSphere host, and it requires root user privileges to run. The root user is the superuser in the Linux operating system, and it has full access to all files, directories, and system resources on the host.
vStatsUser and vStatsAdmin are privileges that grant access to vSphere statistics and performance data, but they do not provide sufficient privileges to run the esxtop utility.
Administrator is a role in vSphere that has many privileges, including the ability to manage users and permissions, but it does not have direct access to the host's operating system. Therefore, it cannot run the esxtop utility.
In summary, to run the esxtop utility, you need to log in to the vSphere host as the root user, or use a non-root account with sudo privileges to run the command.
