  • Gauges for Node Health and VM Health, and a bar representing Disk Health
  • Total storage capacity usage over a period of time
  • A list of events associated with the cluster
  • Hypervisor CPU and memory used over a period of time
  • Average I/O latency over a period of time
  • I/O per second over a period of time
  • I/O bandwidth over a period of time

Nutanix: Container Performance

The "Nutanix: Container Performance" dashboard displays the following information:

  • A widget that displays the available storage pool capacity. You must select one of the pools (bars) in this widget to display information about that pool in the remaining widgets.

  • A list of events associated with the storage pool
  • A bar graph depicting storage pool capacity used
  • Total storage capacity usage over a period of time
  • DAS disk capacity usage over a period of time
  • SSD disk capacity usage over a period of time
