What method should an administrator use to determine current CPU usage across multiple clusters?

1. Prism Element

2. Prism Central Home

3. Command Line Interface

4. Performance Monitoring Tool

The correct answer is: Prism Central Home

Using Prism Central Home is the best method for determining current CPU usage across multiple clusters because it provides a centralized view of the performance metrics of all managed clusters within a Nutanix environment. Prism Central serves as a management layer above individual clusters, allowing administrators to monitor and analyze resource utilization comprehensively. In Prism Central Home, administrators can access dashboards that display real-time data on CPU usage, among other performance metrics. This visibility aids in identifying trends, bottlenecks, and resource allocation across all clusters simultaneously, making it easier to manage performance and plan for scaling or optimization. The other methods, while useful in different scenarios, do not offer the same level of aggregation and overview across multiple clusters. Prism Element is more focused on individual clusters, the command line interface is often used for specific tasks and troubleshooting at a more granular level, and performance monitoring tools may vary in their ability to provide a unified view across clusters.
