Administration Utilities 8
vCenter Chargeback Manager interacts with various servers and databases. It also stores information about
users and various components, such as hierarchies and entities. To ensure that the application and the
corresponding components are working properly, one must monitor the health of the entire system
periodically.
vCenter Chargeback Manager provides a few utilities and database management scripts that enable you to
manage the application efficiently.
