Collect a vCloud Availability Replication Usage Report

Extract the incoming replication usage data from vCloud Availability. The reports contain the total number of incoming replications or the number of incoming replications aggregated by organizations and by virtual data centers.

Procedure

1. Connect to the vCloud Availability vApp Replication Manager appliance by using a Secure Shell (SSH) client.
   1. Open an SSH connection to Appliance-IP-Address.
   2. Log in as the root user.
2. Obtain a vCloud Availability vApp Replication Manager token.

   $ c4 loginroot 'vApp-Replication-Manager-Password'

   [
   "token-id",
   {
   "user": "root",
   "roles": [
   "EVERYONE",
   "ADMINISTRATORS",
   "VRADMINISTRATORS"
   ],
   "authenticatedSites": [
   
   { "site": "site1", "org": "System" }
   ]
   }
   ]

3. (Optional) Retrieve the usage information about the usage-report script.

   $ usage-report --help

4. Generate the vCloud Availability usage report.

   $ usage-report --output /tmp/report_summary.tsv --details /tmp/report_details.tsv

   By not using the --dry-run argument, the usage report overwrites the reporting data in the two .tsv files. The /tmp/report_summary.tsv file contains an aggregated information about the total incoming replications and information about incoming replications grouped by organizations and by virtual data centers.
