## Nutanix Monitoring: from single clusters, to your entire estate

OpManager monitors Nutanix performance at every level, from cluster and host health to individual VM statistics. Whether you manage a single cluster through Prism Element or a multi-site estate through Prism Central, you get complete visibility in one place. OpManager also supports VMware, Hyper-V, and other hypervisor environments.

### Track Critical Metrics

![Financial services](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/images/webp/nutanix-host-snapshot-page.webp)

All critical stats and details about your Nutanix cluster are available on the cluster snapshot page, so you never have to navigate between multiple windows to get a complete picture of your environment.

- All critical stats about your Nutanix cluster — health, hosts, and VMs — are available on the cluster snapshot page in easily accessible tab views.
- Nutanix-specific details such as AOS version, NCC version, and redundancy factor are visible on the snapshot page itself.
- Navigate directly to any host’s snapshot page from the Hosts tab of the cluster snapshot page for deeper host-level details.

## Prism Central

For teams managing multiple Nutanix clusters across sites, OpManager extends its monitoring capabilities to Prism Central — the multi-cluster management platform that provides a single control plane across your entire Nutanix environment.

### Centralized Discovery

Connect OpManager to one Prism Central instance to automatically discover and monitor all clusters, hosts, VMs, and storage containers beneath it — without adding each cluster individually.

- Select Prism Central as the discovery type, enter credentials, and OpManager presents the full Nutanix estate as a hierarchical tree before you confirm.
- Clusters and hosts are discovered by default; select which VMs to include.

### Unified Snapshot Page

Once discovered, a Prism Central snapshot page consolidates your entire Nutanix environment, including all clusters, hosts, VMs, and storage containers into a single screen.

- The Summary tab shows Prism Central availability, recent alarms from all child entities, VM power state distribution, and entity counts across all clusters.
- The interactive Cluster Performance Metrics widget lets you select any cluster and view CPU, Memory, IO, IOPS, or Latency trends directly on the page.

### Seamless Migration from Cluster-based Monitoring

Already monitoring individual Nutanix clusters in OpManager? Switching to Prism Central requires no manual cleanup and no data loss.

- OpManager automatically detects clusters already monitored via Prism Element connections when you discover their Prism Central.
- Those clusters, their hosts, and their VMs are moved under the Prism Central hierarchy without any manual intervention.

### Prism Central Reports

OpManager extends its Nutanix reporting to Prism Central environments with two additional reports covering your entire multi-cluster estate.

- VM Summary by Prism Central lists all VMs across all clusters, grouped by Prism Central and Cluster.
- Host Summary by Prism Central lists all hosts across all clusters, grouped by Prism Central and Cluster.
- Both reports can be scheduled and exported to PDF or Excel alongside the existing Nutanix report suite.

### What does OpManager monitor in a Nutanix environment?

OpManager monitors Nutanix clusters, hosts, and VMs, and fetches over 30 performance metrics by default through the Prism API. Snapshot pages show Nutanix-specific details such as AOS version, NCC version, and redundancy factor, and built-in alerts and reports cover the whole environment. With Prism Central, OpManager also covers storage containers and Volume Group details across all clusters.
