host cpu usage versus physical cpu or vm cpu usage

[perf_guy]

We experienced some issues on Monday and are working on driving into forensic evidence on what may have happened.   We have a Windows host where we see differences in the cpu usage %, peaking about 80% or so on average, but the metrics of both physical cpu (on the host page) or the vm cpu usage % on data explorer are showing the average pegged at 100%.   The reason for the latter two metrics is "physical cpu" is not in data explorer and vm cpu usage % is not a metric on the host page, but I think there are the same.   But my question, was is the difference between these two sets of metrics, the host "cpu usage %" and the, in my case, higher consumption of "physical cpu" or "vm cpu usage %"?

Thanks.

@perf_guy,

Just to clarify, I believe you are referring to a Windows host A, that has a VM running inside it, that I would call VM B. You have OneAgents installed on host A and VM B. Is this the scenario, Or are we talking about the VMware integration?
In any case, you can post graphs here; if you could show us an image of what you are referring to, it would help.

I'm dealing with a Windows VM running as a guest on a VMWare ESXi host.
