Thanks for the response, Jon. I would like to see allocation data for all the entities in the vCenter. We have found the billing capabilities of vChargeback to be less than satisfactory, so it is essentially funstioning in a metrics collection role. We are setting up an automated system to poll chargeback for allocation/usage data and we will then apply our customized pricing/billing.
I would be satisfied to see any allocation information for any entities; currently all data returned is 0. I run a cost report for a two month interval, and every VM reports 0 VCPU, 0 Memory and 0 Storage usage regardless of my billing policy (generally allocation based) or cost model.
I'll look into the storage sync issue, but as I indicated previously, I see this same error on other chargeback systems that successfully provide metrics.
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but this chargeback system is set up without any vCloud Director linkage (no VCD in this vBlock). could that be impacting data collection?
