Nutanix

Visualize your Nutanix infrastructure in JupiterOne — Prism Central accounts, clusters, hosts, and virtual machines — map hosts to the workloads they run, and monitor changes through queries and alerts.

Installation​

This integration connects to a Nutanix Prism Central instance using the Nutanix v4.2 REST APIs and ingests clusters, hosts (physical nodes), and virtual machines. It is a collector-based integration and communicates with Prism Central over HTTPS on port 9440.

Configuration in Nutanix​

Before configuring the integration in JupiterOne, prepare the following in Nutanix Prism Central:

  • The hostname or IP address of your Prism Central instance, reachable from the JupiterOne collector on port 9440.
  • A local or authentication-domain user for the integration to authenticate as. Assign it a role with at least read (Viewer) access to clusters, hosts, and virtual machines.
  • The username and password for that user.
  • If Prism Central presents a self-signed or internal-CA TLS certificate, obtain the CA certificate (in PEM format) so the collector can verify the connection.

Once you have obtained the information above, proceed to JupiterOne to finalize the integration.

Configuration in JupiterOne​

To install the Nutanix integration in JupiterOne, navigate to the Integrations tab in JupiterOne and select Nutanix. Click New Instance to begin configuring your integration.

Creating an instance requires the following:

  • The Account Name used to identify the Nutanix account in JupiterOne. Ingested entities will have this value stored in tag.AccountName when the AccountName toggle is enabled.

  • Description to assist in identifying the integration instance, if desired.

  • Polling Interval that you feel is sufficient for your monitoring needs. You may leave this as DISABLED and manually execute the integration.

  • Your Prism Central Host, Username, and Password.

  • Optionally, a CA Certificate to trust a self-signed or internal-CA certificate, or enable Disable TLS Verification to skip certificate validation (not recommended).

  • Optionally, enable Include Powered-Off VMs to also ingest virtual machines that are powered off.

Click Create once all values are provided to finalize the integration.

Next steps​

Now that your integration instance has been configured, it will begin running on the polling interval you provided, populating data within JupiterOne. Continue on to our Instance management guide to learn more about working with and editing integration instances.
