The Microsoft System Center Collector queries managed data using Operations Manager class libraries. There are two separate collectors: one for the Service Manager components, and the other for the Operations Manager components. Both collectors are based on the System Center 2012 SP1 SDK.
Because these collectors use Windows libraries, they cannot run in a Cloud Cruiser instance installed on Linux. However, you can still run Cloud Cruiser on Linux and collect System Center data.
Copy the collector files to a Windows computer and run them there, writing CC Record files to a shared drive that is accessible to a Linux computer running Cloud Cruiser. Contact HPE for help implementing this deployment architecture.
The following diagram shows the high-level flow for the Service Manager and Operations Manager collectors:
Cloud Cruiser connects to a management group and queries for monitoring objects by management class. Each object instance is then translated into a data record and fed into a processing pipeline for transformation and loading into the cost accounting database. At this time, the data collection is a snapshot and represents a point in time. Multiple snapshots can be taken at regular intervals for a more accurate capture of short term resource allocations.
This section contains the following articles:
Your System Center environment must:
The Management Class Model is a hierarchical object model with a base type of System.Entity. Cloud Cruiser data collection targets one or more classes in the model with the option of including all derived classes in the collection scope. For example, a collection for type System.Database that includes derived types would also collect data for all instances of type Microsoft.SQLServer.Database .

</bean> The Service Manager collector includes objects of management class type System.WorkItem.ServiceRequest that have a CompletedDate matching the select date specified when running the job.
The list of identifiers included in the output record produced by the Operations Manager collector is a list of properties for the object in the record and are dependent on the management class type of the object.
