Usage reports provide historical data about using the backup service in your organization. You may need these reports to calculate how much your organization will be charged for the service.
Reporting parameters
The values of all parameters are checked every day at 23:55 according to the time settings of vCloud Director. The report uses the values as they were at that time.
The report includes the following parameters for the organization:
Number of protected VMs: The total number of protected machines (that is, the machines to which backup plans are applied), no matter whether backups of those machines exist
Storage usage: The total size of all backups in the backup storage (in gigabytes). This parameter may be excluded from the report, depending on the backup service settings.
Backed-up data: The total amount of data that was backed up. This amount includes the initial content of the virtual machine disks and the subsequent incremental changes to that content.
Over quota: The amount of data that exceeds the quota set for the organization (in gigabytes)
Disk size of protected VMs: The total size of hard disks of the protected machines (in gigabytes), regardless of the occupied space on those disks
RAM size of protected VMs: The total amount of memory of the protected machines (in gigabytes)
CPU number of protected VMs: The total number of CPUs of the protected machines
To generate a usage report
Open the Backup storage tab.
Expand the Storage usage area on the bottom, and then click Generate usage report.
In Period, select the reporting period:
Current calendar month: The report will include data from the first day of the current month up to the current day (when generating the report after 23:55) or up to the previous day (when generating the report before 23:55).
Previous calendar month: The report will include data from all days of the previous month. For example, in April you will get a report for the time interval from March 1 through March 31.
Custom period: The report will include data from the interval that you specify.
In Type, select the report type:
Daily statistics: The report will include the values of the reporting parameters for each day of the reporting period. The report also includes the summary: the minimum, maximum, and average values of each of the reporting parameters throughout the period.
Summary report: The report will include only the summary (see the previous option).
Click OK. The report appears in a separate browser window or tab.
