Any experience on using the latest release of vCloud Director 5.6 for Service Providers

[kclo]

Hi all,

Any experience on using vCloud Director 5.6 for Service Providers.  I just installed it but I found that the current vCloud Director license key can not use it.  Any people have tried the performance monitoring using Kairosdb.  I cannot find any documentation on using Kairosdb with vCloud Director and how to enable user to view VM performance from it.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Installing or upgrading to vCD 5.6.3 requires a new license key which is available only to vCloud Air Network (VSPP) partners from MyVMware @ http://my.vmware.com.

Refer to chapter 6 of http://pubs.vmware.com/vcd-56/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vcd_56_install.pdf "Install and Configure Optional Database Software to Store and Retrieve Historic Virtual Machine".  Other product documentation is available at https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vcd_sp_pubs.html.

Hi,

I have got the license and already installed it.

I have also gone through the mannual and got info on how to register the management cell to use the new DB.  However, how to view performance data from vCloud Portal?

Thanks!

the data is API only, the portal doesn't have it.
