Description
Utilizing vCloud Usage Meter's on-premises agent alongside vCloud Usage Insight's SaaS offerings allows for effective licensing usage metering and automated reporting. Begin by familiarizing yourself with both Usage Meter and Usage Insight, and then proceed to download the latest version to initiate the process. Engage with the Automatic Reporting Service, which is central to the Cloud Provider Metering Architecture, and acquire the most recent On-Premises agent for efficient license usage collection and reporting. This setup enables you to generate monthly reports effortlessly, streamlining the entire process from data collection to aggregation and reporting via the Commerce Portal. With the release of Usage Meter 4.3, there's enhanced capability to manage larger environments within a single deployment. Additionally, the introduction of in-place upgrades means that replacing the on-premises agent with each new version is no longer necessary. Usage Insight serves as a centralized hub for accessing and downloading Usage reports, while VMware takes responsibility for storing historical records, alleviating partners from needing to maintain older appliances. Overall, this comprehensive system significantly simplifies the metering and reporting tasks for users.
