vmstat is a bit special on the client side, because the client only
starts the vmstat data collection as a background process (using the
'nohup' utility), and then picks up the output on the next run.

This is because vmstat must be running for 5 minutes to pick up
the average values over a 5 minute period.

But if the client has been running for more than 5 minutes, then
you should see a [vmstat] section in the client message data.
If not, the first place to look would be the hobbitclient.log file
in the clients' logs/ directory.
