The issue involves Nutanix Objects stopping the collection of analytics data for Nutanix Data Lens approximately nine months after being enabled. To resume Data Lens functionality, the administrator shoulddisable and re-enable analytics on the object store. Nutanix Data Lens is a cloud-based service that provides analytics and lifecycle management for Nutanix Objects, and issues with analytics data collection can often be resolved by resetting the analytics configuration.

TheNutanix Unified Storage Administration (NUSA)course states, “If Nutanix Data Lens stops gathering analytics data for an object store, a common troubleshooting step is to disable and re-enable analytics on the object store to reset the connection and resume data collection.” This process forces the object store to re-establish its integration with Data Lens, clearing any potential configuration or connectivity issues that may have caused the analytics to stop. The nine-month period suggests a possible timeout or licensing issue with Data Lens, which can be resolved by this action.

TheNutanix Certified Professional - Unified Storage (NCP-US)study guide further elaborates that “disabling and re-enabling analytics on a Nutanix Objects store is an effective way to troubleshoot Data Lens functionality issues, ensuring that the object store re-syncs with Data Lens for analytics data collection.” The administrator can perform this action through Prism Central by navigating to the Nutanix Objects configuration, disabling analytics for the affected object store, and then re-enabling it.

The other options are incorrect:

Rename the bucket within the object store: Renaming a bucket does not affect Data Lens integration or analytics data collection, as Data Lens operates at the object store level, not the bucket level.

Remove and re-add IAM user permissions on the object store: IAM user permissions control access to the object store but are not directly related to Data Lens analytics collection. Changing permissions is unlikely to resolve this issue.

Disable and re-enable versioning on the object store: Versioning allows multiple versions of objects to be stored but does not impact Data Lens analytics functionality.

The NUSA course documentation emphasizes that “resetting analytics by disabling and re-enabling the feature on the object store is a standard troubleshooting step to resume Data Lens functionality when analytics data collection stops unexpectedly.”
