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 VMware Cloud Director Data Collector and the vShield

Manager Data Collector. These data collectors enable you to integrate VMware Cloud Director with vCenter

Chargeback Manager.

vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.0 supports VMware Cloud Director 1.5. It also supports the versions of vShield

Manager supported by VMware Cloud Director 1.5.

The VMware Cloud Director Data Collector polls the VMware Cloud Director database for chargeback events.

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

each organization in the VMware Cloud Director setup is created in vCenter Chargeback Manager and also

the corresponding allocation details are set on the entities.

By integrating VMware Cloud Director with vCenter Chargeback Manager, you can perform the following

tasks:

Meter and charge for allocation and usage of VMware Cloud 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 Cloud 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.

The vShield Manager Data Collector fetches the network statistics from the vShield Manager for the networks

included in the VMware Cloud Director setup.
