Performance Metrics of a Nutanix Host monitor
Stay on top of your Nutanix host's health and performance by monitoring key performance metrics of its hypervisor, CPU, memory, disk, and content cache—all from a single console. Monitor your Nutanix host environment using Site24x7 On-Premise Poller. Add a host to get started with monitoring.
By monitoring a Nutanix host, you can:
Different tabs display different metrics, grouped by category.
