Its a built-in feature in VMware calledVirtual Performance Monitoring Counters(vPMCs).
Despite having a lengthy & complicated name, enabling this feature is quite simple.
Lets dive into this write-up as I have discussed the most effortless way to turn on this feature.
Too brief for you?
Dont worry, below I have discussed the concise steps to enable performance monitoring counters in great detail.
But before we do, lets see the requirements to enable this feature.
Such as virtual machine compatibility, system configuration, privileges in the vCenter server system, etc.
For AMD users, theyll need to enable SMV from the BIOS as well.
Now check whether the Virtualization is enabled.

Enabling Hyper-V for Intel and SMV for AMD is required to run virtualization via VMware Workstation.
Ending Remark
Tools such as processor performance counters are very useful for software profiling.
It helps the developers to further optimize and debug programs running on the virtual machine.
Have a nice day!
