Latency and drop information help determine if there is a loss in a particular flow and where the loss occurred. A Service Node action configured as a DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) managed service has multiple separate taps or spans in the production network and can measure the latency of a flow traversing through any pair of these points. It can also detect packet drops between any two points in the network if the packet only appears on one point within a specified time frame, currently set to 200ms.

The Nutanix Prism Central vendor integration enables the DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) to fetch the inventory of the infrastructure and resources managed through Prism Central. This inventory includes information on entities such as virtual machines, virtual NICs, and hosts. The integration also helps to monitor virtual machines by creating network monitoring policies based on virtual machine names.

The DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) Application Identification feature allows monitoring of applications identified from packets taken from filter interfaces and sent through the fabric by sending IPFIX reports to a collector. The feature provides a filtering function by forwarding or dropping packets from specific applications before sending the packet to the analysis tools.
