NSX provides different tools that can help you to monitor, and collect data to diagnose any problem with your system.

Flow Monitoring
Flow monitoring is a traffic analysis tool that provides a detailed view of the traffic to and from protected virtual machines.
Configure IPFIX
IPFIX (Internet Protocol Flow Information Export) is an IETF protocol that defines the standard of exporting flow information from an end device to a monitoring system. NSX supports IPFIX to export IP flow information to a collector.
Application Rule Manager
The Application Rule Manager (ARM) tool simplifies the process of microsegmenting an application by creating security groups and firewall rules for existing applications.
Host Health Status Monitoring
In NSX Data Center, you can diagnose the overall health status of the host. The overall host health status includes the host pNIC status, tunnel status, the connectivity status between the host and the control plane, and the connectivity status between the host and the management plane.
Network Latency Monitoring
Network administrators need the ability to monitor the latency of a virtualized network to diagnose and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks in the network.
Endpoint Monitoring Data Collection
Endpoint monitoring enables users to map specific processes inside the guest OS to the network connections the processes are using.
Traceflow
Traceflow is a troubleshooting tool that provides the ability to inject a packet and observe where that packet is seen as it passes through the physical and logical network. The observations allow you to determine information about the network, such as identifying a node that is down or a firewall rule that is preventing a packet from being received by its destination.
Packet Capture
You can create a packet capture session for required hosts on the NSX Manager using the Packet Capture tool. After the packets are captured, the file is available to download. If your dashboard is indicating that a host is not in a healthy state, you can capture packets for that particular host for further troubleshooting.
Support Bundle Collection Tool
You can collect the support bundle data for NSX components like NSX Manager, hosts, edges, and controllers. These support bundles are required to troubleshoot any problem related to NSX. You can either download this aggregate support bundle or can directly upload the bundle to a remote server. You can view the overall status of data collection and status for each component.
