When running
/usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/ZenPacks/ZenPacks.zenoss.EsxTop-1.0.3-py2.6.egg/ZenPacks/zenoss/EsxTop/libexec/check_esxtop, there is a column "%VMWAIT". It appears that the VMs actually list a percentage value with other processes list a hypen "-". If filtering is done by "%VMWAIT", then the notVms and notVmsRegexes arrays would not be needed.

It also seems that it does not list powered-off VMs, but I suppose check_esxtop is for "running" processes anways.

Added the following for ESXi 5.0.0 build 469512:

Downloaded check_exetop from Keith Howlette (Awesome work!)
http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-12909 http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-12909

Some of the processes were still showing up in our ESX/ESXi 5.0 environment. Made a simple tweak that will hopefully eliminate the need for notVms and notVmsRegexes.

Tested with ESX 4.0, ESX 5.0, and ESXi 5.0. We are using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS 64-bit.

Search for: matchRegex = ".*Group Cpu\([0-9]+:([^)]*)\)"
Replace with: matchRegex = ".*\\Vcpu\([0-9]+:([^)].*):[0-9]+:(vmx|vmware-vmx)\)"

Commented the following:
        #elif name in self.notVms:
        #    return False

        #for regex in self.notVmsRegexes:
        #    if regex.match(name):
        #        return False
