When Using Vmware CPU usage stats are Zero

OS Name/Version: Debian GNU/Linux 12

Product Name/Version: 2.4.8 - 20240129.1

Problem Description:
CPU stats on all instances are stuck at 0. This server is running in VMware 7.3 with Vmwaretools installed.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create any instance. Manage that instance. Zero CPU results.

Actions taken to resolve so far:
I have reinstalled the OS and AMP.
I have adjusted the Multicore CPU usage Calculation and ignore SMT cores without success.
I have made sure the server knows’ what kind of CPU is installed.

below is the full specs of the system Controller setup. The target Is similar setup just with much more CPU cores and RAM allocated.

Is this on ESXi? What’s the output of lscpu in the VM?

That is correct, it’s on ESXI HPE-Custom-AddOn_703.0.0.11.5.0-6 (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and this is the LSCPU output. This is on the target machine,

Was that ‘lscpu’ from inside the VM or the bare metal host?

This was from the Debian VM.

NOTE: I also had a window VM that works properly under the same host.
