Prism Details Test

To ascertain the needs of the infrastructure and to determine whether/not additional resources need to be added to the prism to handle their current and anticipated load, Nutanix administrators should keep track on the available resources on the prism. This visibility is provided through the Prism Details test. This test reports the count of clusters, storage pools, VMs, containers, hosts and controller VMs available in the prism. In the process, this test also pinpoints those VMs that are currently powered on and powered off.

Target of the test : A Nutanix AHV Prism Element

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Nutanix AHV Prism Element being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens. By default, this is NULL
Nutanix Prism Element User, Nutanix Prism Element Password and Confirm Password	To connect to the Nutanix Prism Element and collect metrics from it, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a Prism Element user with the Viewer role. The steps for creating such a user are detailed in the Pre-requisites for Monitoring Nutanix Prism Element topic. Confirm the Nutanix Prism password by retyping itin Confirm Password textbox.
SSL	By default, the Nutanix Prism Element server is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the Prism Element server via HTTPS by default.
WebPort	By default, the Nutanix Prism Element server listens on port 9440. This implies that while monitoring a Nutanix AHV server via the Prism Element server, the eG agent connects to port 9440.
DD Frequency	Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Clusters	Indicates the total number of clusters in the prism.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the names of the clusters.
Storage pools	Indicates the total number of storage pools in the prism.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the names of the storage pools.
Containers	Indicates the total number of containers available in the prism.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the names of the containers.
Hosts	Indicates the total number of hosts on the prism.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the host name, IP address, and type of the host, and the cluster name.
Virtual machines	Indicates the total number of virtual machines in the prism.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names, IP address, and operating system of the VMs in the prism and which host each VM runs on.
Powered on VMs	Indicates the number of VMs in the prism that are currently powered on.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name, IP address, and operating system of the VMs that are currently powered on, and which host each VM runs on.
Powered off VMs	Indicates the number of VMs in the prism that are currently powered off.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name, IP address, and operating system of the VMs that are currently powered off, and which host each VM runs on.
Controller VMs	Indicates the number of controller VMs available in the prism.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name, IP address, and operating system of the CVMs, and which host each CVM runs on.
