Workspace Weekly: Your Infrastructure Story Now in Power BI
April 15, 2026
The Login Enterprise Power BI template has a new Platform Metrics page, and it’s a good one. If your team already uses Power BI, your Login Enterprise infrastructure telemetry now lives in the same report as everything else.
Same timeline, same filters, no switching between tools to piece things together. Let’s take a deeper look:
What the Platform Metrics Page Shows
Pick an environment and a date range, and you’ll get a full picture of what your infrastructure was doing during that window.
- If you’re running the Nutanix Platform Metrics integration, your cluster, host, and VM stats will be in there.
- If you’re using the NVIDIA nVector integration, latency and image quality scores are in there too.
Whatever you’ve been collecting through Platform Metrics, it all shows up in the same report.

Three Ways EUC Engineers Use Platform Metrics
Sluggish Desktops
Imagine you’re the EUC engineer on call when someone from the help desk pings you that users are complaining about sluggish desktops. You pull up the report, find last night’s continuous test, and flip to Platform Metrics. Nutanix host CPU was sitting at 90% for a 40-minute window starting at 2 AM. Storage latency spiked at the same time. EUX scores dropped. Nobody filed a ticket because it cleared up before the morning shift. But now you have the data, and you know exactly what happened and when. That conversation with your manager or your customer just got a lot easier.
Preparing Reporting for Review
Imagine you’re preparing for a quarterly business review and need to show what infrastructure changes did to user experience over the past three months. You set a date range in the template, pull up Platform Metrics alongside the EUX and logon metrics pages, and you’ve got a complete picture across the same period. Storage improvements you made in February show up as a latency drop. The image update in March lines up with an EUX improvement. You’re not guessing, you’re showing.
Side-by-Side Comparisons
Imagine you’re doing a bake-off between two infrastructure configurations and want a clean side-by-side comparison. Open two Power BI windows, set each to a different test run, and compare Platform Metrics between them. CPU behavior, IOPS, bandwidth, all of it, across the same workload on different hardware. If you’re also running the NVIDIA nVector integration, image quality and latency scores are in the mix too, so you’re comparing the full stack, not just the infrastructure layer.
Big shoutout to Matt Schmitt, Senior Solutions Engineer at Login VSI, for building this out. Matt has been the primary engineer behind the Login Enterprise Power BI connector since its initial release, and continues to expand what it can do. Thank you Matt.
Setting Up the Login Enterprise Power BI Connector
The connector and template are at the LE-PBI-Connector repo. Already using the connector? Pull the latest template. New to it? The setup guide has everything you need to get going.
As always, we appreciate your feedback and use your insights to make Login Enterprise better for you.
