HyAlto tracks resources (CPU, RAM, storage) for a given service (virtual machines, virtual data centres, edge gateways, etc…etc.). These services are populated in ConnectWise Manage as bundled agreements under a master agreement. The resources being consumed are populated as additions to these bundled agreementagreements. |
When configuring HyAlto’s integration with ConnectWise Manage, a master agreement must be specified under which each service will reside as a bundled agreement. Depending on your billing and invoicing needs, a new “Private Private Cloud Services” Services agreement can be created in ConnectWise Manage and used as the master agreement shell for these services. Alternatively, an existing agreement can be selected under which these services will live as a bundled agreement and the bundled agreements will contain the additions for the individual resource properties being consumed.
