In certain implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a computing device, registration information from a plurality of
virtualization data collectors that are configured to collect first data from a first
virtualization manager of a managed network for transmission to a data
consumer service located in a cloud network. The
virtualization data collectors are located in the managed network. The method further includes determining, by the computing device from among the plurality of virtualization data collectors, a particular virtualization
data collector to transmit the first data to the data
consumer service. The method further includes configuring, by the computing device, the particular virtualization
data collector to transmit the first data to the data
consumer service, and configuring, by the computing device, other virtualization data collectors in the plurality of virtualization data collectors to refrain from transmitting the first data to the data consumer service.
