Table 6‑3. Data Collection Types (Continued)
Data Collection Type Description
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.
Cost data collection (compute resources managed by
vRealize Business Standard Edition only)
Updates the CPU, memory, and storage costs for each compute
resource managed by vRealize Business Standard Edition. The
costs of catalog items that can be provisioned by using the
compute resources are updated.
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.
The Data Collection page provides information on the status and age of data collections and allows you
to manually start a new endpoint data collection.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Point to the endpoint for which you want to run data collection and click Data Collection.
3 Click Start.
4 (Optional) Click Refresh to receive an updated message about the status of the data collection you
initiated.
5 Click Cancel to return to the Endpoints page.
Configure Compute Resource Data Collection
Fabric administrators can enable or disable data collections, configure the frequency of data collections,
or manually request new data collections.
The Data Collection page provides information on the status and age of data collections and allows you
to configure the data collections for your compute resources.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
