Explanation

Nutanix Pulse is a telemetry and proactive support feature that phones home diagnostic data to Nutanix's cloud portal (insights.nutanix.com) over HTTPS on port 443. When Pulse is enabled but shows a connectivity or upload error, the most common root cause is a firewall or proxy blocking outbound traffic from the Nutanix cluster to Nutanix's external endpoints. A subscription issue would show a licensing error, not a connectivity error. SSL certificate issues would produce certificate validation errors. Incorrect licensing would be a separate type of alert. Firewall misconfiguration is the standard cause of Pulse communication failures.
