Adding Nutanix AHV to the Profiler
At the first login following installation of the HX Workload Profiler, you are redirected to the landing page where you can find the + Add Workload option on the top right corner of the page. You can select Nutanix, then you can add multiple Nutanix clusters.
To calculate the metrics for a host, the Profiler captures the metrics for all the VMs on the Host.
The workflow includes:
-
Node Details tab: Records your Nutanix AHV prism details and then connects to the Nutanix REST API. If the connection succeeds, the Next button displays enabling you to select the hosts for profiling.
-
Select Hosts tab: Provides hierarchy of Hosts, with the option to select hosts to Profile.
-
Profiling Setting tab, which provides:
-
Profile Name: The name of the profile. Profile names must be unique.
-
Profile period: User defined number of polling days. The default is 7 days, and the minimum is 1 day.
-
Polling Interval: Frequency for which polling should occur.
