There are two types of email notifications for vCloud Usage Meter instances - local email notifications and VMware Cloud Services Console notifications.

The email notifications from VMware Cloud Services Console might include information about the reporting status of a registered vCloud Usage Meter instance, an issue with a certificate or with the collection of product consumption data, or information about issues with the vCloud Usage Meter appliance. The local email notifications might include information about product collection issues, resource issues, or connectivity issues with the vCloud Usage Meter appliance. For more information about configuring the local email notifications, see Configure the Local Email Notifications for vCloud Usage Meter.

Important:

VMware Cloud Services Console sends email notifications for vCloud Usage Meter instances that are actively reporting the product consumption data to the cloud. You can receive local email notifications for VMware Cloud Services Console appliances in online mode.
