VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 53

Which privilege is required to run the esxtop utility?

Answer options

• A. Root user
• B. vStatsUser
• C. vStatsAdmin
• D. Administrator

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The esxtop utility requires root user privileges to run because it accesses low-level system metrics and performance data. The other options, while they may have some permissions, do not provide the full access necessary to utilize esxtop effectively.
