Event processor job interval (in
seconds)
vCloud Director data collector runs a job that reads and processes the
chargeback events in vCloud Director. This property defines the time in
seconds between two such job runs. If the time between two job runs is too
large, then virtual machines that are created and removed within this time
frame might not be accounted for by vCenter Chargeback Manager during
cost calculation.
Failed events processor job interval
(in seconds)
vCloud Director data collector runs a job to clear failed chargeback events in
vCloud Director. This property defines the time in seconds between two such
job runs.
Unprocessed VMware vCloud
Director chargeback non VM and non
Disk event lifetime (in seconds)
This property defines the time for which an unprocessed chargeback event,
which is neither a virtual machine-related event nor a disk-related event, is
retained in the database. Virtual machine-related events are the events such
as virtual machine creation and deletion. Disk-related events are events such
as creation of an independent disk and associating a disk with a virtual
machine.
The default value is 100 days. After this lifetime period, events are removed
from the database because they are in an inconsistent state and cannot be
processed. Inconsistency can occur due to the following reasons:
n
Event was generated when it was not necessary.
n
Event fails to get persisted in the vCloud Director database.

as creation of an independent disk and associating a disk with a virtual
machine.
The default value is 100 days. After this lifetime period, events are removed
from the database because they are in an inconsistent state and cannot be
processed. Inconsistency can occur due to the following reasons:
n
Event was generated when it was not necessary.
n
Event fails to get persisted in the vCloud Director database.
