title: Identifying Elastic Runtime Jobs Using vCenter
owner: RelEng

<strong><%= modified_date %></strong>

To effectively monitor, control, and manage the virtual machines making up your
Elastic Runtime deployment, you may need to identify which VM corresponds to a
particular job in Elastic Runtime.
You can find the CID of a particular VM from [Pivotal Cloud Foundry](https://network.pivotal.io/products/pivotal-cf) (PCF) Operations Manager by navigating to **Elastic Runtime > Status**.

If you have deployed Elastic Runtime to VMware vSphere, you can also identify
which Elastic Runtime job corresponds to which VM using the vCenter vSphere
client.

<p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: The CID shown in Ops Manager is the name of the machine in vCenter.</p>
