nsxt_exporter

README

Introduction

This project implements an prometheus exporter for vmware NSX-T. It provides metrics for Cluster, LBService, LBPool, LBVirtualServer, Tier0 and Tier1 objects.

This exporter is not suitable for NSX-T admins that want to achieve a full monitoring their infrastructure but can be handy for NSX-T users that need to implement a lightweight monitoring of their hosting environment.

NSX Version

This current implementation has been designed and tested for NSX-T API 3.2.1.

Metrics

The document METRICS.md describe all generated metrics.
