Nutanix Host dashboard
The Nutanix Host dashboard provides an overview of all the Nutanix Acropolis Hosts within the client's BMC Helix Continuous Optimization (HCO) environment. Nutanix Acropolis Hosts are identified by the HCO entity type "Virtual Host - Acropolis". Within the dashboard the following capacity insights will be presented:
- Snapshot of the Current Capacity
- Future Saturation
Filters
Filters can be found in the upper left portion of the dashboard. The following filters are:
- Cluster → Filters all panels to only focus on the specified cluster(s) selected
- Time Period → Contains three values: Last 30 Days, Last 7 Days, and Yesterday. This filter changes the aggregation period for the metrics CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, and Storage Utilization. Ergo, only tables that that have the column CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, and Storage Space Utilization are affected by this filter.
- Resource Statistic → Contains three values: Average, Max, and 95th Percentile. This Filter changes the aggregation statistic for the metrics CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, and Storage Utilization. Ergo, only tables that that have the column CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, and Storage Space Utilization are affected by this filter.
Links
Links can be found in the upper right portion of the dashboard. The following links are:
- Nutanix Clusters
- Nutanix Storage Pools
- Nutanix Virtual Machines
- Nutanix Host Detail
Panels
The Nutanix Host Dashboard consists of multiple panels that give insight into the capacity and health of Nutanix Acropolis Hosts.
Total Host Count
Displays the total Acropolis Host count found within the client's HCO environment. The total count is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
Not Saturated
Displays the count for all Acropolis Hosts that are predicted to not have future saturation in one or more of the following metrics: CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, or Storage Space Utilization. The count is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
Future Saturated
Displays the count for all Acropolis Hosts that will have a future saturation in one or more of the following metrics: CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, or Storage Space Utilization. The count is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
Future Saturated
Displays the count for all Acropolis Hosts that are currently saturated in one or more of the following metrics: CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, or Storage Space Utilization. The total is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
All Hosts
A host overview table with the following details:
Column | Description | Metrics |
Host | Name of the Acropolis Host. Click on the name to open a new tab to the Host Detail dashboard for the respective host. | N/A |
Cluster | The name of the parent cluster. Click on the name to open a new tab to the Cluster Detail Dashboard for the respective cluster. | N/A |
IP Address | IP Address of the respective host. | NET_IP_ADDRESS |
VM Count | Number of Virtual Machines associated with the respective host. | GM_NUM |
Disk Count | Number of Disks associated with the respective host. | DISK_NUM |
Days to Saturation | Shows whether the respective host has Saturation, Future Saturation, or no Saturation for one or more of the following metrics: CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, or Storage Space Utilization. Only hosts that are expected to saturate within the next 100 days are considered to have future saturation. Days to Saturation is computed by calculating the slope using the last 30 days of hourly data. | CPU_UTIL, MEM_UTIL, TOTAL_DSTORE_UTIL |
Bottleneck | The metric that is contributing to the current saturation or future saturation shown in the Days to Saturation column. | N/A |
CPU Count | Total Number of CPUs. | CPU_TOTAL_MHZ/CPU_MHZ |
CPU Utilization | Aggregated CPU Utilization value. This value is affected by the "Cluster" and "Time Period" filters. | CPU_UTIL |
Total Memory | Total Memory value. | TOTAL_REAL_MEM |
Memory Utilization | Aggregated Memory Utilization value. This value is affected by the "Cluster" and "Time Period" filters. | MEM_UTIL |
Storage Size | Total Storage Size value. | TOTAL_DSTORE_SIZE |
Storage Utilization | Aggregated Storage Space Utilization value. This value is affected by the "Cluster" and "Time Period" filters. | TOTAL_DSTORE_UTIL |
