Hi everyone!
Recently, a client challenged me to integrate their Nutanix clusters into their existing Prometheus and Grafana stack. While I’ve found solid integrations for Nutanix Objects and Kubernetes environments, the path to extracting granular metrics from Prism Element (PE) and Prism Central (PC) seems less straightforward for standard infrastructure.
I’ve been reviewing the classic community post “MONITORING Part 3/4 Metrics and Prometheus and Grafana”, but since it’s now 5 years old, I suspect APIs and available exporters have evolved significantly.
I’d love to hear from the community:
-
Is anyone currently running this setup in modern production environments?
-
Are you relying on third-party exporters (like Cloudflare’s) or leveraging API v3/v4 directly?
-
In your opinion, have the latest Prism Central native APIs made Prometheus redundant for infrastructure-level monitoring?
Any insights, updated documentation, or "lessons learned" you could share would be invaluable in helping me design the best solution for my client.
Best regards,
