Monitor Nutanix clusters for performance, usage and availability, with Prism 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
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.
Get started
The Nutanix Clusters extension runs on a Dynatrace ActiveGate and connects to the Nutanix Prism APIs. This extension can connect straight to the Prism Element API of each monitored cluster or to the Prism Central API, where it obtains whereabouts of each cluster's Prism Element APIs.
Activate the extension in your environment via the in-product Hub, then provide the Prism API URLs and a user account to connect to Prism APIs.
Using the Prism Element API
Provide Prism Element API URL of each Nutanix cluster to monitor (like e.g. https://prism-element-ip:9440) and a user account to connect to the Prism Element.
Prism Element monitoring configuration recommendations:
- You can add many Prism Elements to a single monitoring configuration
- Make sure to not add Prism Element addresses of those clusters which are managed by the Prism Central that you've also added to a monitoring configuration of the extension.
- For performance reasons, it is not recommended to add Prism Central to the same monitoring configuration where you have Prism Elements defined, or vice versa.
Using the Prism Central API
The Nutanix Clusters extension supports monitoring Nutanix clusters managed by the Prism Central. Prism Central connection is used to obtain addresses of Prism Element-managed clusters, then extension connects to those Prism Elements.
Prism Central monitoring configuration recommendations:
- Only one Prism Central connection is supported per monitoring configuration. Separate monitoring configurations shall be defined for each Prism Central.
- For performance reasons, it is not recommended to add Prism Central to the same monitoring configuration where you have Prism Elements defined, or vice versa. This hygiene routine is necessary to avoid performance issues when monitoring multiple clusters from a single ActiveGate.
Prism Central connectivity requirements:
To monitor Nutanix clusters managed by Prism Central, a user account with the same username and password should be created in Prism Central and all managed Prism Element clusters. This account requires the Cluster Admin role, or an equivalent role with API access to view all resources.
The ActiveGate used to run the extension must be able to reach all monitored resources, which includes the Prism Central instance and all managed Prism Element clusters.
Leverage OneAgent to get insights into all Nutanix virtual machines
Install OneAgent on all your Nutanix virtual machines. OneAgent is aware of the Nutanix AHV virtualization technology and uses this information to characterize your workflows. The Nutanix Clusters extension topologically connects Nutanix Hosts and Virtual Machines to OneAgent-monitored hosts.

Details
The extension package contains:
- Python scripts that implement the metric ingestion from the Prism Element API, using a pull model
- Topology and relationship definitions for physical and logical entities that comprise the Nutanix platform
- A sample dashboard offering the Nutanix monitoring overview and status
- Sample alert definitions that track CPU and memory utilization on the cluster, host, and VM level
- Unified analysis views for each entity, leveraging the topology model for interactive analysis
Summary of the Nutanix entities monitored:
The Nutanix Clusters extension collects metrics for Nutanix entities and builds topological relationships between them so that Dynatrace performance analytics can leverage causal dependencies and surface the root causes of issues. The following entities are monitored:
- Host
- Virtual machine
- Storage container
- Disk
- Virtual disk
- Network
- GPU
- Alerts
- Event metrics

Q&A
Q: I see data gaps when running the extension. what to do about it?
A: Likely, extension configurations defined have too many metrics to collect from too many endpoints (i.e Prism Elements). The workaround is to define multiple monitoring configurations, with limited number of endpoints (Prism Element whereabouts) in each config.
Practice shows that when a single configuration monitors more than 5 Prism Element endpoints, data gaps are more likely to show up. Note that this is not a hard number, as each endpoint may return different number of metrics that heavily depends on the Nutanix cluster size and number of workloads/VMs running on the cluster.
Q: What is the DDU Consumption of this extension?
A: The formula for DDU consumption of the extension is:
( ( 24 * number of Clusters)
+ ( ( 68 * number of Hosts)
+ ( ( 43 * number of VMs)
+ ( ( 22 * number of Storage Containers)
+ ( ( 20 * number of Disks)
+ ( ( 4 * number of Virtual Disks)
+ ( ( 3 * number of Networks) ) * 525.6 DDUs/year
DDU cost above does not include any possible Log events or Custom events triggered by the extension. For more information on this, please visit the DDU log event cost and DDU custom event cost pages.

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.
