Installing and Upgrading Data

Collectors 6

vCenter Chargeback Manager interacts with the vCenter Server and vCenter Server database through a data

collector. The data collector synchronizes the information in the vCenter Chargeback Manager database

with that in the vCenter Server database.

Other than the data collector that interacts with the vCenter Server database, vCenter Chargeback Manager

provides two more data collectors. These are the vCloud Director data collector and the vShield Manager

data collector. These data collectors enable you to integrate vCloud Director with vCenter Chargeback

Manager.

vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.5.1 supports vCloud Director 1.5.x and vCloud Director 5.1. It also supports

the corresponding versions of vShield Manager.

When you integrate the vCenter Chargeback Manager with vCloud Director 5.1, during the first run of the

vCloud Director data collector jobs, the entire vCloud Director inventory is synchronized in vCenter

Chargeback Manager by call the vCloud Director APIs. After the vCloud Director inventory is

synchronized, the vCloud Director data collector polls the vCloud Director database for chargeback events.

These events details are used to call specific vCenter Chargeback Manager APIs. A chargeback hierarchy for

each org vDC in the vCloud Director setup is created in vCenter Chargeback Manager and also the

corresponding allocation details are set on the entities.

By integrating vCloud Director with vCenter Chargeback Manager, you can perform the following tasks:

Meter and charge for allocation and usage of vCloud Director resources, including virtual datacenters,

vApps, templates and media file storage.

Meter and charge for external network bandwidth, network count, and network services, such as

DHCP, NAT, and firewall.

Deliver multi-tenant chargeback reports.

However, this release does not include support for the following features:

Charging for storage utilized by partially created or imported virtual machines, vApps, and templates

and media files.

Charging for resources utilized by virtual machines that are created by vShield Edge.

NOTE Only the vCenter Chargeback Manager related events are processed by the vCloud Director data

collector. To update the vCloud Director Org hierarchies in vCenter Chargeback Manager, the

corresponding vCenter Server must be added to vCenter Chargeback Manager and the vCenter Chargeback

Manager data collector must be running to synchronize the vCenter Chargeback Manager database with the

vCenter Server database. If the vCenter Chargeback Manager data collector is not installed or is not running,

then the changes will not be processed and the changes in the vCenter Server and the vCloud Director Org

hierarchy is not accounted for in vCenter Chargeback Manager.
