This Werk fixes three issues in the NTNX Data Protection service for Nutanix Prism.
The first issue is that the metrics were incorrectly swapped.
The metric named pd_bandwidthtx actually reported received bandwidth and
the metric named pd_bandwidthrx actually reported transmitted bandwidth.
Additionally, the recorded metrics were previously not given a human-readable name, instead showing only the bare metric name.
The metrics now show up as "Received bandwidth" and "Transmitted bandwidth" respectively and a transformation has been put in place to preserve existing data.
Lastly, the metrics are now reported in bytes per second with proper auto-scaling. Previously, the values were shown as raw unitless numbers representing kilobytes per second. Historical data is rescaled so existing graphs remain meaningful.
No action is required to make use of this fix, but we mark it as incompatible in case any custom dashboards relied on the old metric names.
