Introduction

The Nutanix solution is a converged storag'e and compute solution which leverages local components and creates a distributed platform for virtualization. The solution is a bundled hardware and software appliance which houses 2 or 4 nodes. Each node runs an industry-standard hypervisor - namely, VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Nutanix AHV. To provide total performance visibility into a Nutanix powered data center, monitoring of the AHV is necessary.

eG Enterprise provides comprehensive 'In-N-Out' monitoring, diagnosis and reporting for Nutanix AHV. All of the capabilities supported for other hypervisors such as VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V are now supported for Nutanix AHV.

Both the server virtualization and desktop virtualization models of AHV can be monitored using eG.

This document discusses both these models and how eG Enterprise monitors them.
