PRTG Manual: SNMP Nutanix Hypervisor Sensor

SNMP v3

Nutanix devices only support SNMP v3. Make sure that you select SNMP v3 in the credentials for SNMP devices settings of the parent device.

IPv6

This sensor supports IPv6.

Performance impact

This sensor has a low performance impact.

Lookups

This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels.

Measurement

The type of measurement that this sensor monitors.

Sensor Version

The version of the sensor definition that was used to create this sensor.

Identifier

The value that the sensor uses to find the component in the OID table.

OID Index

The OID table index that this sensor uses.

Result Handling

Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:

• Discard result (default): Do not store the sensor result.
• Store result: Store the last sensor result in the \Logs\sensors subfolder of the PRTG data directory on the probe system. The file names are Result of Sensor [ID].Data.txt and Result of Sensor [ID].log. This setting is for debugging purposes. PRTG overwrites these files with each scanning interval.

This option is not available when the sensor runs on the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance.

In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node.

Primary Channel

Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.

You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.

Graph Type

Define how this sensor shows different channels:

• Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
• Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
  You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).

Stack Unit

This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above.

Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.

Bytes Received

The number of bytes received

Bytes Sent

The number of bytes sent

CPU Usage

The CPU usage

This channel is the primary channel by default.

Downtime

In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status

I/O Bandwidth

The bandwidth of I/O operations

I/O Latency

The latency of I/O operations

I/O Read

The read speed of I/O operations

I/O Write

The write speed of I/O operations

Package Drop In

The number of dropped incoming packages

Package Drop Out

The number of dropped outgoing packages

VM Count

The number of VMs
