You can monitor the health and performance of the NSX environment. What to read next Monitor NSX Edge Nodes and GatewaysNSX application supports collection and storage of data up to one year. With this feature, along with the point-in-time data, you can also view time series metrics, such as CPU usage memory, disk usage, packets per second, bytes per second, and packet drop rate, for edge nodes and gateways. You can view the metrics by invoking time series metrics APIs. A few of these metrics are also available on NSX Manager interface along with the point-in-time data. APIs to Fetch Time-Series MetricsYou can use the metrics APIs to fetch the time series metrics. Starting with NSX 4.1.1, you can also use the metrics API to fetch status of different entities, such as edge and transport nodes. Dynamic PluginsA dynamic plugin is a customized plugin that you can create for any supported transport node, such as ESXi host, to check the node’s health.

Alarms provide detailed event information such as which component is affected, the type of event, and then recommends a corrective action. Registering Notification WatchersYou can register a watcher that will receive notifications based on specific criteria. Using Aria Operations for Logs or Splunk for System MonitoringYou can monitor your NSX environment using Aria Operations for Logs or Splunk.
