Nutanix ClustersNutanix Clusters
Monitor Nutanix clusters' performance, usage and availability, with Nutanix API.
Extension- Product information
- Release notes
Overview
Simplify monitoring of your Nutanix infrastructure. Focus on essential insights into your Nutanix clusters while retaining the context of the workloads and apps that the clusters enable. Leverage topological model that reflects the Nutanix platform composition to understand dependencies between Nutanix component operations and the performance of workloads that run on Nutanix. Automatically monitor dozens of Nutanix performance metrics, from hosts, through virtual machines and storage containers, down to disks and the network.
This extension is intended for users, who:
- Run their workloads on Nutanix
- Use Dynatrace to monitor workloads with Dynatrace OneAgent deployed on a virtual machine’s OS
- Want to extend Dynatrace insights into the infrastructure on which VMs run and pinpoint the root causes of issues in their virtualization and application layers
This extension enables you to:
- Monitor your Nutanix clusters using a Nutanix-specific entity model and comprehensive unified analysis views
- Receive alerts on performance and availability issues detected in your Nutanix infrastructure
- Take proactive actions based on anomalies detected in Nutanix infrastructure before they affect your applications
Note a breaking change with release 3.0 of this extension. Release 3.0 of this extension standardizes on Nutanix v4 API; Nutanix monitoring is now entirely based on Prism Central API. Previous releases used APIs v1 and v2, but these have been deprecated by Nutanix and soon won't be supported anymore (which means that monitoring via Prism Element API is not going to be available anymore). V4 API simplifies monitoring configuration and runtime, but also removes several metrics. Therefore, please revisit any metric alerts and dashboards you've created using metrics provided by the previously used extensions. You may need to replace previously used metrics with the new ones, or remove some visuals, as some metrics might have their IDs changed or they may have been removed entirely.
Use cases
- Operational monitoring of your Nutanix clusters using Prism API in Dynatrace, integrated with related insights into the infrastructure and apps that your Nutanix clusters host.
- Monitor resource utilization, latency, and bandwidth of clusters, hosts, virtual machines, and storage containers and receive alerts for detected anomalies.
- Root cause analysis of Nutanix cluster performance bottlenecks, leveraging a dependency model that connects all the entities that comprise Nutanix clusters, all the way down to the OS instances that run the workflows monitored with Dynatrace OneAgent.
Compatibility information
- A Nutanix cluster offering v4 API, reachable from an ActiveGate set up in your Dynatrace environment.
- Nutanix v4 API connection details: Prism URL, user name, and password for authentication with the Prism v4 API.
- A user account is required with granted the following roles (or equivalent), to view all resources:
Cluster ViewerStorage ViewerVirtual Machine ViewerNetwork Infra AdminMonitoring Viewer(required only if Alerts and Events need to be imported)
Supported Nutanix Versions:
The following Nutanix versions have been tested to work with the extension. Other versions of Nutanix not listed may be compatible with the extension.
- AOS Versions: 7.x
- Prism version: 2023.4 and newer

3.0.1
Published Tue May 27 2025
New features
- Release 3 of this extension standardizes on Nutanix v4 API.
- For the record: monitoring is now entirely based on Prism Central API. Monitoring via Prism Element API (i.e API v1) is not available in this release, as it is being deprecated by Nutanix.
Note a breaking change:
- Monitoring configurations need to be recreated after activating this new extension release.
- Please revisit any metric alerts and dashboards you've created using metrics provided by the previously used extensions, as v4 API simplifies monitoring configuration and runtime, but also removes several metrics.
- You may need to replace previously used metrics with the new ones, or remove some visuals, as some metrics might have their IDs changed or they may have been removed entirely.
2.1.25

1.2.40
New features
- Additional properties added to events and alerts derived from logs
- Credentials vault support
Patch level changes
- Support both LQL and DQL in log-based metrics extraction
1.2.32
Published Fri Apr 05 2024
New features
- Changed the way how extension ingests Alerts and Events import from Nutanix. Now Alerts and Events are ingested as log lines and not as metric points. This change enables high scalability and resiliency in case of increased alert/event volume from Nutanix, and it lets you analyze and react on alerts/events, including their text, using powerful log query language. Alert/event counters are still available as metrics.
- Analysis screens have been updated to follow this change how alerts/events are handled.
- Added SAME_AS relationship between discovered VMs and OneAgent-monitored instances of the guest OS, using IP address as the join property (in addition to already existing relationship for Nutanix hosts). This relationship enables:
- Davis AI analytics to look together at metrics obtained by this extension and from OneAgent, to completely characterize monitored guest OS instances performance
- Discovery and Coverage app to suggest which discovered VMs should be instrumented with OneAgent for full visibility into performance
Note: Breaking change. We had to force re-creation of the topology entities maintained by this extension, in order to efficiently enable OneAgent-discovered entity integration. If you created dashboards or alerts with entity selectors referencing Nutanix entities, these may need to be refreshed.
Note: Prism Central API is not yet supported by this extension. Point it to Prism Element API for successful activation. We work on Prism Central support and will update the extension at a later date.
