This feature seems broken under vboxmanage -v
VirtualBox 5.1.8r111374
atleast it does not display anything in my installation… (even with VM having Guest-Additions installed)
get a list of all resource usage
under Linux: Open Up a Terminal, you could hit Alt+F2 and type in “Terminal” and if you are under Gnome2 it should bring up a terminal. (“ux” -> “uxterminal”)
under Windows: Start -> run -> cmd
type/copy paste in:
[cc lang=”bash” escaped=”true” width=”600″]
VBoxManage metrics collect -period 3 -samples 5 “VMName” CPU/Load/User,RAM/Usage/Used
VBoxManage metrics collect -period 3 -samples 5 “WIN7” CPU/Load/User

Yes it would be great to have the resources a VM is consuming right on in the Manager-Application. (which atleast HyperV does)
