Alternative Way: Start GO Binary to see all options and parse the output for each cluster on another port. ./nutanix-exporter_linux_amd64 --help Usage of ./nutanix-exporter_linux_amd64: -listen-address string The address to lisiten on for HTTP requests. (default ":9405") -log.level value Only log messages with the given severity or above. Valid levels: [debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic]. -nutanix.conf string Which Nutanixconf.yml file should be used -nutanix.password string Nutanix API User Password -nutanix.url string Nutanix URL to connect to API https://nutanix.local.host:9440 -nutanix.username string Nutanix API User

Example: ./nutanix-exporter_linux_amd64 -list-address ":9406" -nutanix.url https://your-cluster-ip:9440 -nutanix.username your-nutanix-viewer-user -nutanix.password password

Check the runtime Result on the given Port 9406/metric on your prometheus server.
