# Nutanix

### What is Nutanix Integration in ZigiOps?

Nutanix is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform used for cloud computing, virtualization, and enterprise storage management across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments.

ZigiOps enables secure, API-based integration between Nutanix and ITSM, ITOM, and monitoring platforms. Using ZigiOps, alerts, metrics, and topology data from Nutanix can be synchronized with external systems to support automated incident management and infrastructure visibility workflows.

With ZigiOps, Nutanix can:

* Forward infrastructure alerts to operations management platforms such as OBM
* Synchronize cluster and node topology data with infrastructure monitoring tools
* Feed performance metrics into centralized monitoring and capacity planning platforms
* Participate in automated incident creation workflows triggered by infrastructure events

The integration is fully customizable and does not require custom scripts or plugins.

### Which Nutanix Versions Are Supported?

Please note that using a supported version is mandatory.

| Product | Supported Deployment Types | Supported Versions |
| ------- | -------------------------- | ------------------ |
| Nutanix | All                        | 5.x (or newer)     |

### What Are the Most Common Nutanix Integration Use Cases?

#### Use Case 1: Nutanix Alert Forwarding to OBM

Infrastructure alerts generated by Nutanix, including cluster failures, storage warnings, and performance threshold breaches, can be forwarded to OBM as structured events. Operations teams can correlate and act on Nutanix alerts alongside data from other infrastructure platforms.

#### Use Case 2: Topology Data Synchronization with OBM

Nutanix cluster and node topology data can be synchronized with OBM, keeping the operations platform's configuration model up to date with the actual state of the Nutanix HCI environment.

#### Use Case 3: Metrics Ingestion into Monitoring Platforms

Nutanix performance metrics can be forwarded to centralized monitoring platforms, enabling infrastructure teams to track capacity utilization and performance trends across their hyperconverged environment.

### What Integration Templates Are Available for Nutanix?

ZigiOps provides the following integration templates for Nutanix:

* Nutanix alerts to OBM events
* Nutanix metrics to OBM metrics
* Nutanix topology to OBM topology

*See the Integration Catalog for all Nutanix templates.*

Templates are documented individually in the Integration Catalog.

### Summary

The Nutanix integration in ZigiOps enables:

* Secure, username/password-based API connectivity
* Support for Nutanix 5.x and newer
* Integration with OBM and other monitoring platforms
* Alerts, metrics, and topology synchronization
* Optional proxy configuration
* Fully customizable synchronization workflows

ZigiOps allows Nutanix to participate in enterprise-grade ITOM and infrastructure monitoring ecosystems without requiring custom development.
