Data Collection
vRealize Automation collects data from 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. Each type of data collection also has a default timeout 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 2‑22. 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
Amazon regions and machines provisioned on Amazon regions.
Endpoint data collection runs every 4 hours.
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.
Inventory data collection runs every 24 hours.
The default timeout interval for inventory data collection is 2
hours.
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.
State data collection runs every 15 minutes.
The default timeout interval for state data collection is 1 hour.
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.
Performance data collection runs every 24 hours.
The default timeout interval for performance data collection is 2
hours.
