Splunk Workload Ingest per Indexer

I am curious why when sizing a Splunk workload and increasing the performance profile for the indexers it doesn’t increase the ingest rate per indexer rather than keeping it at 100GB.  By not doing this it keeps the same amount of indexers Nutanix thinks it needs even though each indexer has more CPU/RAM.  I could be missing something simple here but I would like to here others thoughts. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.3/Capacity/Summaryofperformancerecommendations#:~:text=An%20indexer%20that%20meets%20the,while%20supporting%20a%20search%20load.

Nutanix Collector 4 Error with Hyper-V

Hi. I’m trying to use Nutanix collector 4.0 to collect Hyper-V sizing information, however the following error message is displayed during the scanning phase:“Bad http response returned from the server. Code: 500. Content”I tried to use it with Remote option and locally on a cluster member and the same happens.Running the precheck script it shows these failures on the picture: The user logged in is a Domain Admin and local admin, however the script returns a failure about the user rights. Does anyone know how can I enable the “Basic auth” stated on the script output?I also tried Collector version 3.5.1 with no success.Any tips?

Sizer: "Powered On" & "Performance" Options Combined Does not Work

I am trying to import Nutanix Collector (latest available version) excel to sizer. The excel contains a large number of “PoweredOff” virtual machines. I want to make the sizing based on performance figures only for “PoweredOn” virtual machines. If I choose “CPU: performance” I get a warning message:“Data being imported contains one or more VMs that were powered ON during the collection period and reported CPU utilization. We recommend you to size both Powered ON & Powered OFF VMs.” The warning it self doesn’t make much sense. Maybe it should read“Data being imported contains one or more VMs that were powered OFF during the collection period and did not report CPU utilization. We recommend you to size both Powered ON & Powered OFF VMs.” Additionally “Upload” button is grayed out and I cannot proceed with the sizing. IMHO the “Upload” button should not be disabled.

Hello Team,Hope your are all doing well  We need to size a New Nutanix Cluster for Disaster Recovery purposes of an existing cluster (04 x NX-8155-G7 with AHV).Before that, we need to scale the Existing platform by adding more compute ressources to support additionnal workloads.

Hyper-V Collector output causing error on import

Collector 3.5.1, Windows version. The customer has collected the data from a 2-node Hyper-V cluster and I can open the excel and browse through it - it looks right to me, I see all the VMs etc. When I try and import into sizer, I get “Some unknown error occurred”.  Any ideas?  There’s nothing particularly strange or unusual in the data that I can think of.  In the meantime I will probably try and manually add the equivalent workload. Thanks, Allan.

How to Edit RVTools before import to Sizer

I’m attempting to import an RVTools into the Sizer tool. I want to exclude some of the VMs before import by editing the RVTools file.  When I edit the file and try to import, I get an error “Host cluster cell not found”There are more than 300 VMs, so I can’t import on the VM level and just disable the individual workloads there.Any ideas or methods anyone would suggest to editing the RVTools beforehand? Thanks in advance!

ntnxcollector_precheck.ps1 is not working with german active directory

I tried to use the precheck script on one of our Hyper-V servers.Everything works fine, but I get the error message ".... not a Domain Admin." even though my user is a domain admin. I think this might be related to the fact that the Domain Admins group is called "Domänen-Admins".Has anyone seen something like this before?

Sizer 5.0 is out

Great pleasure to say Sizer 5.0 is now liveTwo very big thingsCluster settings/cluster policy.  We always allowed you to edit the model list and set thresholds for cpu/ram etc that the cluster must meet.  Lot more now.  Mihn cpu speed.  Required networking.  Also added policy.  So you can state I want production, test/dev, or mission critical policy.  This gives you more rigor in the sizing as enforces best practicesMultiple recommendations  Sizer by default gives you the lowest cost solution.  That is there but now core optimized and storage optimized too.  So solution with more cores or more storage that fits in cost range you state.  Good to have multiple options
