Modify Job Interval
You can control the time interval between two consecutive job runs for jobs that do not run eternally.
Ensure that the job interval time specified is sufficient enough to run the job completely. The data collector
starts a job run only after the earlier job run is completed. If the specified interval is too small, then the job
might not start exactly after the specified minutes post the last synchronization time. The job will start only
after the earlier job run is completed.
Procedure
1 Click Edit in the Job Interval column.
The Change Job Interval screen is displayed.
2 Enter the new job interval.
The specified job interval must be in minutes.
3 Click Save.
The new job interval is displayed in the table.
Enable Data Collector
If a data collector registered with the application is disabled, you can enable it from the application.
Procedure
1 In the Settings tab, clickData Collectors.
A table listing all the data collectors registered with the application is displayed.
2 Select the data collector that you want to enable.
3 Click Enable.
Disable Data Collector
When a data collector is installed, it is registered with the application and is enabled by default. If you do not
want to use a data collector, you can disable it from the application.
IMPORTANT If only a single data collector is running, do not disable it. If disabled, the synchronization jobs
will not run and the data in the vCenter Chargeback Manager database will not be in sync with the data in the
vCenter Server databases.
Procedure
1 In the Settings tab, clickData Collectors.
A table listing all the data collectors registered with the application is displayed.
2 Select the data collector that you want to disable.
3 Click Disable.
The jobs assigned to the selected data collector are unassigned from it and the data collector is disabled.
