Managing a Nutanix Prism Element

eG Enterprise cannot automatically discover a Nutanix Prism Element. This means that you have to manually add a Prism Element using the eG admin interface. The steps to achieve this are as follows:

1. Login to the eG admin interface.

2. From the Infrastructure tile of the Admin tile menu, select the Components -> Add/Modify option.

3. If the Prism Element that you want to monitor is a Prism Central, then, against Host IP/Name, specify the IP address using which the Prism Element was installed and configured.

   On the other hand, if the Prism Element that you want to monitor is a Prism Element, then, against Host IP/Name, specify the cluster IP address that is configured for communicating with the cluster that is managed by that Prism Element.

4. Provide a Nick name for the Prism Element and enter the Port number at which the Prism Element listens. By default, the port will be 9440.

5. By default, eG Enterprise monitors the Prism Element in an Agentless manner only.

6. Set the OS as Nutanix and the Mode as Other.

7. Pick a Remote Agent and an External Agent for the Nutanix Prism Element, and click on Add button to add the Prism Element for monitoring.
