# Management Agent Counters

Performance counters are modeled using the PerfCounterInfo data object type. Each instance of a PerfCounterInfo data object contains metadata about a specific metric available from the system. The managementAgent group of performance counters supports metrics that track consumption of resources by the various management agents (hostd, vpxd, and so on) running on the system.

Counter | StatsType | Unit | Levels | Per Device Level | RollupTypes | Labels | Entity | Instance/ Aggregate | ESX Versions
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
cpuUsage | rate | megaHertz | 3 | 3 | average | CPU usage |  |  |
Amount of Service Console CPU usage.
memUsed | absolute | kiloBytes | 3 | 3 | average | Memory used | HostSystem | instance | 5.0 5.1 5.5 6.0 6.5 6.7
Amount of total configured memory that is available for use
swapIn | rate | kiloBytesPerSecond | 3 | 3 | average | Memory swap in | HostSystem | instance | 5.0 5.1 5.5 6.0 6.5 6.7
Amount of memory that is swapped in for the Service Console
swapOut | rate | kiloBytesPerSecond | 3 | 3 | average | Memory swap out | HostSystem | instance | 5.0 5.1 5.5 6.0 6.5 6.7
Amount of memory that is swapped out for the Service Console
swapUsed | absolute | kiloBytes | 3 | 3 | average | Memory swap used | HostSystem | instance | 5.0 5.1 5.5 6.0 6.5 6.7
Sum of the memory swapped by all powered-on virtual machines on the host
