What is vCloud Usage Meter?

Leveraging the on-premises agent of vCloud Usage Meter in conjunction with the SaaS capabilities of vCloud Usage Insight facilitates efficient metering of licensing usage and automated report generation. Start by getting acquainted with both Usage Meter and Usage Insight, then download the latest version to kick off the setup process. Interact with the Automatic Reporting Service, which is crucial to the Cloud Provider Metering Architecture, and obtain the latest On-Premises agent to ensure effective collection and reporting of license usage. This configuration allows for hassle-free monthly report generation, optimizing the workflow from data collection to aggregation and reporting through the Commerce Portal. With the advent of Usage Meter 4.3, users can now manage larger environments within a unified deployment. Moreover, the new in-place upgrade feature eliminates the need to replace the on-premises agent with each update, providing greater convenience. Usage Insight acts as a central repository where users can access and download Usage reports, while VMware handles the storage of historical data, freeing partners from the responsibility of maintaining outdated appliances. This integrated approach not only simplifies the metering and reporting processes for users but also enhances overall operational efficiency, making it easier for organizations to manage their licensing needs effectively.
