Nutanix monitoring: VM information
We have been importing (through VMAN) Nutanix clusters, hosts and VM information for a while. We have noted that the import has some deficiencies compared to their counterpart VMware: (a) VMs imported from Nutanix via VMAN don't contain VM metadata like CPU, Operating system, DNS name or memory utilization whereas VMware…

Nutanix and Syslog NG
When Nutanix tools are installed on the server, and you run the install Kiwi Syslog Server NG UI, both appear to use port 5000 and syslog wont load its webui. I can uninstall the Nutanix tools and even tell the tools to reload without the SSR stuff on port 5000, but it still appears to take priority over loading the syslog…

Nutanix Monitoring - Allow Cluster Status to be more configurable.

I would like to be able to configure how status is being…

However, I look at a cluster and it shows it as "Yellow", when I click on that cluster, everything on the details screen is within bounds, nothing seems wrong. When looking at what Solarwinds is showing as warning,…

Is this the year of VDI?
Virtual desktops have long held something of a mystique for CIOs as they attempt to drive down the overall costs of acquiring and maintaining what has become commodity technology -- the desktop computing environment. However, CIOs quickly discovered that the costs to implement a VDI solution that was done right were much…

Make your Data Center sing with Converged Architectures
What does this CI concept mean? A converged architecture is, to put it simply, a purpose built system, with the inclusion of Server, Storage, and Network, designed to ease the build of a centralized environment for the data center. By this I mean, there’re servers and storage combined with networking, so that with very…

Monitoring Nutanix
I'm starting to try the Virtualisation manager (trial) for Orion with Nutanix, but don't seem to be able to get the basic's working. We've got 2 clusters, both in the polling stations with the CVM credentials added, which wasn't an issue, it accepted those fine. However when I go to the virtualisation dashboard i got a red…
