Overwatch is a local appliance that unifies monitoring of Nutanix hyper‑converged infrastructure with related hardware, backup, and network data. It collects over 818 metrics from Prism, Redfish/IPMI, SNMP, HYCU and NetFlow, enriches them with contextual information, and uses machine‑learning to detect anomalies, delivering built‑in dashboards, reports, and optional forwarding to Datadog or Grafana for IT operations teams.

Problem
Managing Nutanix environments often requires juggling multiple tools for infrastructure, hardware, backup, and network monitoring, leading to fragmented visibility and delayed incident response.
Solution
Overwatch consolidates monitoring of Nutanix clusters, hosts, VMs, hardware, backups, and network flow into a single local appliance. It continuously collects over 818 metrics via Prism, Redfish/IPMI, SNMP, HYCU, and NetFlow collectors, then enriches and correlates the data across the stack. A machine‑learning engine establishes seasonal baselines and detects anomalies, reducing reliance on static thresholds and minimizing alert noise. Operators can view built‑in dashboards, generate reports, and explore WAN traffic, while optionally forwarding data to Datadog or Grafana for extended analytics.
Target Audience
Primary customers are IT operations teams and system administrators responsible for Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure, including those managing associated hardware, backup solutions, and network performance.
Features
- Unified console aggregating 818+ Nutanix and infrastructure metrics from Prism Central, Prism Element, hardware (Redfish/IPMI), backup (HYCU), and network flow sources
- Purpose-built collection engines for Prism, Redfish, SNMP, HYCU, and IPFIX/NetFlow within a single appliance
- Correlation engine that enriches signals with cluster, host, VM, hardware, backup, and network context to surface related incidents
- ML-driven seasonal baselines and anomaly detection that replace static threshold sprawl and reduce alert fatigue
- Over 50 prebuilt dashboards and multiple report types for operational insight and compliance tracking
- NetFlow WAN Explorer providing topology, top talkers, and interface details alongside cluster health
- Optional forwarding of normalized metrics to external platforms such as Datadog or Grafana
