Monitor and export organization traffic usage as a provider

As a provider, you can see the volume of transferred data for each organization. You can also export data samples for a given period to a file that contains daily usage or traffic data.

Prerequisites

• Verify that VMware Cloud Director Availability is successfully deployed in the cloud site.
• Verify that you can access VMware Cloud Director Availability as a provider. For more information, see Accessing the VMware Cloud Director Availability Provider Portal.

Procedure

1. In the left pane, click Reports.
2. On the Reports page, click the Traffic and Storage tab.
3. From the Organization drop-down menu select an organization for which you want to filter the displayed traffic information.
4. In the top, enter the beginning and the end of the traffic reporting period, then in the organization traffic chart select the interval of reporting.
   • To see the last five hours of traffic, select the 5 minutes interval.
   • To see the last two weeks of traffic, select the 1 hour interval.
   • To see the last two months of traffic, select the 1 day interval.
   In the bottom of the traffic chart, you can see the amount of traffic transferred for the selected interval.
5. To export daily usage and traffic data for all organizations in a .tsv file in your browser, enter the beginning and the end of the reporting period and click Export daily usage or Export daily traffic.

   The timestamps in the report are in UTC. The exported data includes records for the time the replications did not exists. The values shown for that time are NaN, which evaluates to 0.
