"We are currently collecting usage data. Cluster usage data will be displayed here in 24 hours"" this message is showing more than two week in a Capacity section (cpu runway and storage runway) of all Esxi cluster in Prism Central.

1) is there any way to verify the data collection progress in command line ?
2) is there any way to stop and start this data collection ? if yes, does it affect the VMs and clusters ?

PC version : 2022.4.0.1
Esxi version : 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
vcenter version : 7.0.3
no of esxi cluster in PC : 23 clusters
PC and VC are registered

Hello @pkkishorenkl 

Capacity run away needs prism pro or NCM license.

Hello @pkkishorenkl 

Capacity planning requires a minimum of 21 days of data from a cluster to calculate the baseline runway estimates. No estimates appear when insufficient data is available. In addition, it takes a day after registering a cluster for the data to appear in Prism Central.

Capacity planning checks the past 90 days of data for monthly seasonality, it also uses up to 365 days of past data (when available) for calculating and adjusting the baseline accordingly if it finds a seasonality pattern.

For a Non-Nutanix cluster, the vCenter datastores dashboard appears only when at least one vCenter instance has been registered

Hi @Moustafa Hindawi 

Thanks for your reply. vCenters are registered with Prism central and All Prism Elements are registered with Prism Central too. Also, this data collecting message is showing more than 60 days.

Now some graphs are displaying in capacity runway, After reset license of prism central and re-licensed all clusters in prism central. Do not forget to log out and log in the prism central.

Note : Also data are partially displaying and still, I can see N/A in runway section. So, Nutanix engineer made some configuration change in the insight file as neuron service is crashing frequently.

Thanks for the update, I’ll raise a ticket myself next week
