NSX-T

Overview

The NSX-T integration with Motadata AIOps provides visibility into key network, compute, firewall, and system-level KPIs. These include resource utilization (CPU, memory, filesystem), tunnel and transport node status, firewall rule performance, and logical networking components such as switches and routers.

This section outlines all supported KPIs grouped by category, along with descriptions and data types.
