Nutanix Virtual Machine Detail dashboard


The Nutanix Virtual Machine Detail dashboard provides a detailed look into one of the selected Nutanix Acropolis Virtual Machines within the client's BMC Helix Continuous Optimization (HCO) environment. Within the dashboard the following capacity insights will be presented:

  • Snapshot of the Current Capacity
  • Configuration Metrics collected for the virtual machine
  • Tags applied to the virtual machine
  • Timeseries for metrics being collected for the virtual machine
  • Future Saturation or resources
  • Timeseries which visualizes the future saturation


Important

Do not make the dashboard editable by using the Make editable option in the dashboard settings. If you want to customize the dashboard, we recommend that you create a copy of the dashboard and customize it.

Filters

Filters can be found in the upper left portion of the dashboard. The following filters are:

  • VM → Filters all panels to only focus on the specified virtual machine selected
  • Data Resolution → Contains three values: Detail, Hourly, and Daily. This filter changes the data resolution to be used in the timeseries charts.
  • Resource Statistic → Contains three values: Average, Max, and 95th Percentile. This filter changes the statistic to be used in the timeseries charts.
