Nutanix Storage Pool dashboard
The Nutanix Storage Pool dashboard provides an overview of all the Nutanix Acropolis Storage Pools within the client's BMC Helix Continuous Optimization (HCO) environment. Nutanix Acropolis Storage Pool are identified by the HCO entity type "Storage Pool - 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.

Panels
The Nutanix Storage Pool Dashboard consists of multiple panels that give insight into the capacity and health of Nutanix Acropolis Storage Pools.
Total Pool Count
Displays the total Acropolis Storage Pool 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 Storage Pools that are predicted to not have future saturation for the Storage Space Utilization metric. The count is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
Future Saturated
Displays the count for all Acropolis Storage Pools that will have a future saturation for the Storage Space Utilization metric. The count is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
Future Saturated
Displays the count for all Acropolis Storage Pools that are currently saturated for the Storage Space Utilization metric. The count is affected by the "Cluster" filter.
All Storage Pools
A storage pool overview table with the following details:
Column | Description | Metrics |
Storage Pool | Name of the Acropolis Storage Pool. Click on the name to open a new tab to the Storage Pool Detail dashboard for the respective storage pool. | 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 |
Disk Count | Number of Disks associated with the respective storage pool. | DISK_NUM |
Total Storage Size | Total Storage Size value. | TOTAL_DSTORE_SIZE |
Days to Saturation | Shows whether the respective storage pool has Saturation, Future Saturation, or no Saturation for one or more of the following metrics: Storage Space Utilization. Only storage pools 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. | TOTAL_DSTORE_UTIL |
Storage Utilization | Aggregated Storage Space Utilization value. This value is affected by the "Cluster" and "Time Period" filters. | TOTAL_DSTORE_UTIL |
Disk Latency | Disk Latency value. | DISK_TOTAL_LATENCY |
Disk IO Rate | Disk I/O Rate value. | DISK_IO_RATE |
Disk Transfer Rate | Number of bytes per second at which data was transferred. | DISK_TRANSFER_RATE |
