Workspace Weekly: Deeper Nutanix Visibility in Login Enterprise

April 22, 2026

In January, we shared an early preview of the Nutanix Platform Metrics integration for Login Enterprise. Cluster-level metrics from Nutanix Prism Element, showing directly in Login Enterprise alongside your test results. That was just the starting point.

If you caught the Login Enterprise Expands Nutanix Integration post from earlier this month, you know what it looks like in practice and what you can do with it today.

Since then, a lot has changed.

The integration now pulls host and VM-level metrics via Prism Central v4 APIs, on top of the original cluster stats. You can filter which VMs to collect, split metrics by unit type, view the results in the Login Enterprise web interface, and even see all the metrics in the Login Enterprise Power BI integration.

It handles Nutanix API version negotiation automatically, degrades gracefully when Prism Central is unreachable, and has been validated end-to-end against a real production Nutanix environment.

This is still a preview and not yet a built-in Login Enterprise feature. However, it is substantially more capable than what we shipped in January, and it is ready to use today.

What You Can Do With It

The metrics you get now cover three levels of the Nutanix stack:

Cluster: CPU usage, memory usage, storage IOPS, storage latency, and IO bandwidth via Prism Element v2.

Host: CPU usage, memory usage, storage IOPS, latency, and bandwidth per AHV host via Prism Central v4.

VM: CPU usage, CPU ready time, memory usage, disk latency, disk bandwidth, and network RX/TX per virtual machine via Prism Central v4.

All of it lands in Login Enterprise Platform Metrics on the same timeline as your EUX scores, logon times, and session data.

Imagine you are doing a load test on a Nutanix cluster and EUX scores start dropping around the 60-user mark. You flip to Platform Metrics and see host CPU was already 90% before sessions even started ramping.

Storage latency climbed at the same time. The VM running your target sessions shows disk bandwidth maxing out. You are not guessing at root cause anymore: the data is right there, correlated with the test.

Or imagine you are running Continuous Testing overnight to validate a new Nutanix node before a migration. At 2 AM, storage latency spikes and session slowdowns follow. You see it in Platform Metrics the next morning alongside the EUX dip, trace it to a background rebalance job, reschedule it, and retest with confidence.

Or imagine you are doing a bake-off between two Nutanix configurations for a hardware refresh decision. Run the same load test on both, compare Platform Metrics side by side. CPU behavior, IOPS, VM-level latency, all of it across the same workload. The data makes the decision easier to justify.

The scripts are available now on GitHub. The setup guide and documentation in the repo covers everything from prerequisites to running your first collection. You need a Windows machine with PowerShell 5.1 or higher, network access to both Nutanix and your Login Enterprise appliance, and a Login Enterprise API token.

For cluster-level metrics only, Prism Element is all you need. For host and VM metrics, you need Prism Central.

If you are running this in an enterprise environment with CrowdStrike or another EDR tool, check out the certificate handling section in the documentation before you start.
