Data Collection
vRealize Automation collects data from both infrastructure source endpoints and their compute resources.
Data collection occurs at regular intervals. Each type of data collection has a default interval that you can
override or modify. IaaS administrators can manually initiate data collection for infrastructure source
endpoints and fabric administrators can manually initiate data collection for compute resources.
Table 1‑11. Data Collection Types
Data Collection Type Description
Infrastructure Source Endpoint Data Collection Updates information about virtualization hosts, templates, and
ISO images for virtualization environments. Updates virtual
datacenters and templates for vCloud Director. Updates regions
and machines provisioned on them for Amazon.
Inventory Data Collection Updates the record of the virtual machines whose resource use
is tied to a specific compute resource, including detailed
information about the networks, storage, and virtual machines.
This record also includes information about unmanaged virtual
machines, which are machines provisioned outside of
vRealize Automation.
State Data Collection Updates the record of the power state of each machine
discovered through inventory data collection. State data
collection also records missing machines that
vRealize Automation manages but cannot be detected on the
virtualization compute resource or cloud endpoint.
Performance Data Collection (vSphere compute resources only) Updates the record of the average CPU, storage, memory, and
network usage for each virtual machine discovered through
inventory data collection.
vCNS inventory data collection (vSphere compute resources
only)
Updates the record of network and security data related to
vCloud Networking and Security and NSX, particularly
information about security groups and load balancing, for each
machine following inventory data collection.
WMI data collection (Windows compute resources only) Updates the record of the management data for each Windows
machine. A WMI agent must be installed, typically on the
Manager Service host, and enabled to collect data from
Windows machines.
Start Endpoint Data Collection Manually
Endpoint data collection runs automatically every 4 hours, but IaaS administrators can manually start
endpoint data collection at any time for endpoints that do not require proxy agents.
