• Foglight - utility Agent AppMonitor

  All,

  Thus on the horizon is a MASSIF of Foglight deployment. I need to get 100 + environments and utilities networks monitored.

  I just re - start the launch phase of the project.

  One thing that we look at a number of demons and process in all of our dev evionments. I would normally have this with the App_monitor agent. But I would prefer NOT to deploy legacy agents. Is there an ETA on migration to the EGG?

  Hello

  We plan to have the Appmonitor cartridge replaced by a new version which uses data from process cartridge agent Infrastructure in our major release of end of 2013. As Mike Reys, already mentioned, we do not currently collect all necessary data in the process, but we do not have a user interface to configure settings of style Apmmonitor (choose the process and display specific data for them), and we do not yet have alarms either.

  In the next 5.6.7 version of the cartridge of the Infrastructure, we however add an extra dashboard, allowing you to investigate the process information. The dashboards of the process that provides a summary of the CPU and the memory usage by process, as well as a picture of the details of the process will be available as an exploration of the dashboard Infrastructure environment. When a specific host is selected, the dashboard is available if a CPU usage by process or memory usage by process link under graphics of the use of the corresponding resources.

  Maybe this new dashboard will be of value in what you're trying to accomplish, or at least partially help you for now. It is also relatively simple to add a rule that checks the CPU usage or the process memory and alarm on it. The data is stored in the HostProcess object.

  5.6.7 IC should be available in the coming weeks.

• Question/AppMonitor performance impact

  Hello

  I installed the AppMonitor for a list of the 20 process. Is a comercial product and process control the State of the recovery and begin the process.

  I know he uses between 5 and 10 seconds to start again.

  My question is:

  I could put the quick check at 2 seconds with minimal use of resources or of this change will have an impact in the monitored host or in the FMS?

  Best regards

  David Fernandez

  The best practice is to configure the Foglight agents to collect less frequently than the maximum expected collection time.

  If the agent takes 5-10 seconds to collect the parameters, the frequency of collection must be set no more frequently than every 15 seconds. In general, I wouldn't recommend the AppMonitor agent configuration to collect more frequently than every 30 seconds.

  More frequent collections impact use of resources on the monitored host and, to a lesser extent, the FMS.

  As the agent of AppMonitor will be off sustained next year, it would be a good idea to validate the Infrastructure Officer for process data collection. If ICR agent doesn't have all the features you need, the earlier, these requirements are reported, the better.

• Monitoring by AppMonitor agents

  Hello

  I have tried for hours to make a fundamental Foglight task and may not have to work.  As usual, thank you in advance for your help.

  I have two simple tasks to do.  First of all, I simply monitor a 3 on a client process called "replicat.exe" and e-mail alert when the any of the 3 process goes.  I did the following so far:

  Created an appmonitor agent

  Editing the properties of the Agent and defined process in the tab list of process in the Application/process list.  I have used 3 in the field number of Instances.

  Newspapers began and verified on the agent and everything is ok

  To get an alert when the process dies, I copied the Process_Availability rule in my own custom rule and simply set the variable where to send the alert.

  We stopped in the process, but nothing is happening: I do not receive an alert.  I read through some of the posts on the community and tried to edit and create custom rules, but I still can't get an alert to come out.  Is it more complicated than I think?  I used to use all the time in V4 and it was very simple.  I can't believe that it's changed.  Need me one more time!

  The second thing, that I am responsible monitors a file for changes in growth.  I need to create a rule that alerts when there is a change in the size of the files, upwards or downwards.  I think I can use the AppMonitor once again, but I was not sure where to find the settings or framing to put in place only.  Any suggestions on how to implement that?  Are there examples anywhere on how to do?

  Thanks again guys,

  I always enjoy your posts!

  Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  It seems that you did things right. Your description, I would expect that you get an alert when you have stopped the process monitored. Please, do the same thing again and go to the dashboard AppMonitor analysis group of operating systems to inspect the measures collected by the agent. If the problem persists, please post a screenshot of this dashboard captured five minutes after the stop of the monitoring process.

  Kind regards

• AppMonitor on VM

  Hello

  I was given a task to monitor the availability of specific processes on different virtual machines, in our environment we have Foglight installed 5.6.4.2 using vmware cartridge, data collection of the vc for all of 200vm.

  SE for focus on a virtual machine and a single process to watch, I need to do without the 200 fglam agents on every virtual machine deployment.

  Example:

  Host of OS = Windows

  Process = myprocess.exe

  I hope this helps

  Thank you

  Gert...

  Use an external FGLAM, deploy the agent Windows on the FGLAM package, and then you configure each destination VM to monitor by the FGLAM.  You don't need to install a FGLAM on each virtual machine.   Depending on the size of the FGLAM server, you can monitor a certain virtual machines to a FGLAM.

• Monitoring of processes in foglight 5.6.7

  Hello

  We have an obligation of monitoring of a set of processes that we need of alerts. We have a custom dashboard that displays all the processes running on the monitored hosts but when we tried to create alerts for "alert for process if he stopped", we do not get an alert.

  We tried "HostProcess' topology and selected"localState"for the business process. But this force give no warning.

  Please could someone suggest me how can I trigger an alert for this "State of process."

  Kind regards

  Shiva G

  Shiva,

  What is meant by cartridge are you using toe monitor all processes running on a host?

  To monitor the availability of specific process, we generally use the appmonitor agent

• Process of monitoring in Unix machine foglight 5.6.10

  Hi, I want to know how to monitor the process on the unix machine, we have foglight 5.6.10

  as a legacy, we weight to appmonitor but now I think that the inheritance is no longer in use in this version

  Please notify

  Shipi,

  I have this conversation with Golen a couple of weeks.

• New on Foglight 5.6.10 - process

  With this release of Foglight is still an Agent application process, I would continue to monitor the application process, we followed the version 5.5.8 we monitor our servers remotely with this new version and have no problem tracking of BONE with the Infrustructure cartridge, I can't find any documentation on the process of the Application.

  Hello

  A bone point settlement stull you have X (default = 5 but configurable) control TOP consumer for memory/cpu appear in the dashboard host and if your app is a high consumer see in host dashboards.

  Utlilty agents are in transition, we already have the new webmonitor and apache, agents monitoring and others are in preparation. In the meantime you can still continue specific process with appmonitor monitoring agent, simply install the OS (legacy) cartridge on your FMS of surveillance, put a fglam on the target computer and deploy the agent appmonitor, just as you did with 5.5.8

  Hope this helps,

• The utility cartridge replacement

  Hey guys,.

  The utility cartridge inherited agent were replaced again? Can someone provide a link?

  WebMonitor specifically and AppMonitor.

  Thank you!

  -Daniel

  The new WebMonitor 5.6.10 came out with the Foglight 5.6.10 battery. Two notes of interest: (1), we accidentally used the same name as the legacy OS (WebMonitor, reasonably enough) basket. This upsets the FMS, if both are installed together. So, do not try it. :) We'll be fixing that by changing the new his name in the next Rev (2) the new agent currently cannot monitor resources https through a proxy, that will be fixed in a future release.

  An AppMonitor as feature is in the plans for the next major release of Infrastructure, alongside new NetMonitor and LogMonitor (replaces LogFilter). At the moment I think that all we need to add to the HostAgents for a characteristic AppMonitor is the ability to specify the process interesting in a secondary list of ASP and a rule as the rule of the availability of the process of the BONE wagon inherited, by http://edocs.quest.com/foglight/5610/doc/Cartridge/OSCartridge-ref/Rules.04.php#430311. If you would wait or need something else an AppMonitor replacement, it would be a great time to let me know. :)

• Foglight 5.6.5 | Backup management

  Hello

  We use foglight 5.6.5 we want to monitor backup devices. like availability, error, jobs, etc...

  Please tell me, what is the name of cartridge that is supported for foglight 5.6.5?

  Thank you

  Christopher F

  There is no cartridge 'out of the box' for this.

  You can add in fact default monitoring features of Foglight with utility officials, one of them (logfilter) monitors especially newspapers and another (appmonitor) monitors the process http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/w/admins-wiki/5646.monitoring-application-availability-using-foglight-utility-agents.

  Everything that has an existing script or a command line interface (shell, perl script, java script, etc.) can be monitored using a script agent (enough of wrapping this script and send the output to the Foglight Server).

• Foglight monitoring process

  Hi all

  I got a new requirement, in which there are two servers in which we monitor the process as a whole. Is it possible using foglight to monitor any kind of process?

  Need your help in this regard.

  -Shiva

  We can do so with an agent named "appmonitor", it is a part of the supervision of legacy OS.

  You can see and example and information about it here

  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/performance-monitoring/Foglight-administrators/w/Admins-wiki/5646.monitoring-application-availability-using-Foglight-utility-agents

• Properties of the Agent Foglight FMS 5.6.7

  Morning,

  As you can gather, I'm new to this software. I have another question related to installation. I am currently at the stage of the development of events and monitoring service in the Agent Properties screen

  How to set up IIS monitoring? I read that this is carried out using the cartridge of the Infrastructure, is this the case? I ask the same question about windows processes.

  If you are simply interested in monitoring the process and availability you can do with an agent of the utility called appmonitor which is part of the supervision of legacy OS (works on windows and unix)

  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/performance-monitoring/Foglight-administrators/w/Admins-wiki/5646.monitoring-application-availability-using-Foglight-utility-agents

  If you do not look for surveillance that include things like the IIS Web sites, etc. application pools the right agent is the agent of .NET.

• Comments the process survey alert

  Is there a way for vFoglight to alert when a service is started using the commenting process engine? Looking through the rules, it seems that it would be possible using the physical OS cartridge, but I think that the use of the physical cartridge would result in a lot of redundant data for my virtual machines...

  The options are:
  Install the fglam on the virtual machine
  Deploy the cartridge of the BONE
  NOT to create agents of Windows system (to avoid redundant data), but rather
  Create an AppMonitor agent to monitor the process that starts a particular service
  OR
  Create Windows system agents, but the collections of the CPU and memory set to 0.
  Concerning
