other registered data collectors, if any.
Configure VMware Cloud Director Data Collector
If you have installed the Cloud Director Data Collector, you must configure its properties from the Data
Collectors page of the Settings tab.
Only users with the Super User role assigned to them can perform this task.
Configuring the Cloud Director Data Collector ensures that vCenter Chargeback Manager related events in
the vCloud Director are processed.
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.
