Why Nutanix monitoring with PRTG is important
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is extremely complex. If just one of its components malfunctions, the entire system can become paralyzed and the hyperconverged environment can go offline.
But how do you keep an eye on such versatile virtual infrastructure?
Paessler PRTG can monitor your entire Nutanix HCI, including virtual storage, computer, and network units. Use our all-in-one network monitoring software to also ensure the optimal performance of your Nutanix environment.
Start monitoring Nutanix virtualization with PRTG and see how it can make your network more reliable and your job easier.
3 benefits of PRTG Nutanix performance monitoring
Check I/O operations of clusters
In HCI environments, storage components are usually responsible for the biggest drops in performance. That’s why PRTG also constantly checks the IOPs performance data of your Nutanix clusters, including bandwidth and latency, as well as the number of I/O commands per second.
Keep a constant eye on hypervisors
Of course, your Nutanix hypervisors also play an important role when analyzing HCI performance data. With PRTG, you can constantly track parameters such as the processor load, individual I/O performance data, packet loss, and the number of active virtual machines (VMs).
What Nutanix monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the status and performance of your Nutanix HCI. Show response time, bandwidth usage, latency, packet loss, CPU usage, virtual machine count, and other key performance metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot issues with your Nutanix clusters and hypervisors.

Monitor Nutanix infrastructure: FAQ
What is Nutanix?
Nutanix is an enterprise cloud computing company that provides a software-defined platform designed to modernize data centers and simplify IT infrastructure management. Nutanix pioneered the concept of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). Nutanix’s HCI platform integrates compute (CPU and memory), storage, and virtualization into a single appliance or software layer, making it easier for businesses to manage and scale. Nutanix runs on its proprietary Acropolis Operating System (AOS) and developed its own native hypervisor, called AHV. Nutanix-native tools for monitoring and management include Nutanix Prism Element and Prism Central.
What is hyperconverged infrastructure?
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is mainly used in large data centers and multi/hybrid cloud environments. It allows for existing hardware and software to be converged into a single system that can be managed with appropriate tools. New digital workplaces can therefore be set up more quickly and existing resources used more efficiently.
What are the benefits of monitoring Nutanix?
Monitoring Nutanix infrastructure provides numerous benefits that enhance the performance, efficiency, and overall management of the IT environment. Here are the key benefits of monitoring Nutanix:
- Early detection of problems: Monitoring allows IT teams to detect issues such as hardware failures, network bottlenecks, or performance degradation before they impact users.
- Proactive troubleshooting: Automated alerts provide real-time notifications when problems arise, allowing administrators to take immediate corrective action.
- Reduced downtime: Proactively addressing issues through monitoring minimizes the risk of downtime, ensuring higher availability of critical applications and services.
- Improved resource utilization: Monitoring helps track the usage of compute, storage, and network resources. IT teams can identify underutilized resources and reallocate them to optimize performance.
- Application performance: Nutanix monitoring provides insights into virtual machine (VM) performance, ensuring that applications running on the platform have sufficient resources to meet demand.
- Data-driven decision-making: Monitoring data supports informed decisions about hardware upgrades, resource allocation, and scaling strategies based on actual usage patterns.
How does PRTG monitor Nutanix components?
PRTG comes with preconfigured Nutanix sensors for monitoring Nutanix clusters and hypervisors. These sensors pull data via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which must be properly configured in the Nutanix environment. Nutanix only supports SNMP v3.
What is a sensor in PRTG?
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.
On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
PRTG: The multi-tool for sysadmins
Adapt PRTG individually and dynamically to your needs and rely on a strong API:- HTTP API: Access monitoring data and manipulate monitoring objects via HTTP requests
- Custom sensors: Create your own PRTG sensors for customized monitoring
