You can download the Quick Profile (30-days) ESX Host Summary statistics/data report from the Profiler Home page > Download Results option. To use this monitoring option, see Downloading Nutanix AHV Profiling Results for ESXi.

Report characteristics:

• Includes VM/host level compute and storage capacity metrics

• Does not include deep storage or compute metrics or metrics for individual VMs

• Data downloads in CSV format and can be uploaded to the Compute and Capacity workload in the Hx Sizer tool

The Profiler connects to vCenter using the root admin credentials.

Architecture characteristics:

• The Profiler directly collects the vCenter Inventory information (Data Centers, Datastores, Clusters, Hosts, VMs, and basic metrics) and the compute metrics from vCenter itself.

• The Profiler also collects deep storage metrics for each VM and aggregates these metrics at a host-level.

• The vCenter does not directly maintain deep storage metrics. The Profiler software invokes vCenter to fetch this data from each individual host (using vSCSI) to obtain detailed data for each VM. The Profiler then summarizes the data from all VMs to build a host-level summary. For example, the software obtains maximum, minimum, and average values for metrics, such as latency, where as IOPS (Total Blocks/Interval) and throughput (Total Bytes/Interval) are average values only.
