Connecting Cloud Innovators: Building Community at .NEXT 2024
The Reporting feature of Nutanix Cloud Manager Intelligent Operations enables you to create reports and schedule them to be e-mailed on a regular basis. But did you know you can also send these reports to Slack? While the reporting framework currently only allows you to specify e-mail, you can set up a time-based playbook using Nutanix’s low-code/no-code automation tool (also known as X-Play), along with the Generate Report and Slack actions.Note: Be sure to set up your Slack app as per the documentation. You’ll also need to ensure that the file:write permission scope is granted to the app.Once you have a report configured, set up your playbook. From the main Prism Central 2023.3 dashboard, select Intelligent Operations from the drop down menu, then navigate to the hamburger menu > Playbooks. Alternatively, just search for Playbooks in the search bar. Click on Create Playbook, then select the Time trigger.Specify the schedule you want the playbook to run on (i.e. how often you want
Elevate Your Reports With GroupingWith Nutanix Cloud Manager you can create your own custom reports with either custom or pre-defined views. (To learn more about reporting basics, check out this video)In the video below, I show how you can use the grouping functionality to group all your views by a specific entity using the custom group view.

For example, if you wanted to create a line chart to display VM memory usage, you can group by cluster within this view under Advanced Settings.So what’s the difference?When grouping data within a view, you will see a sepa
The Nutanix X-Play™ tool is a simple low-code/no-code automation feature built into the Nutanix Prism® management controller that helps you automate routine operations and tasks, and provides the ability to auto-remediate issues that may occur.Using the X-Play tool, you can define a set of actions or a series of actions (called a “playbook”) based on a trigger, such as an event, alert, or an incoming webhook. For example, you can set up a playbook so when an alert about a VM’s memory being constrained is detected, the playbook can automatically add a specified amount of memory to the VM.But what if you didn’t want this to automatically happen, but rather you wanted to route through an approval workflow so that an admin would have to approve the change before the memory was added? In this video, we give you a walkthrough how to set up an integrated automation process with ServiceNow describing exactly this.With the latest Test Drive update, you can set up a similar flow using our demo t
