• Foglight alarms automatically erase themselves?

  Hello

  I'm new to Foglight and I have a general question.

  Foglight alarms disappear automatically themselves once a problem is solved?

  For example, if I get an alarm saying that the memory usage is high on a server and I'm going in and kill a process on this server to lower it, will get deleted automatically alarm or do I still go and delete it?

  Please let me know.

  Thank you

  Multi-gravite rules generate alerts that will be automatically clear if the State goes away and the State of gravity goes back to normal. Also, the severities change automatically if an alarm has reached another gravity as an alarm becoming a fatal alarm.

  Simple rules such as the rules for the LogFilter agent will not automatically clear.

• Foglight for SQL server back alarm

  How foglight knows if a backup succeeded or failed wicker basket SQL server? Best I can tell backups are good, but all the sudden foglight is alarming every day on this.

  There is a metric/property for days since the last backup.  It is a component of SQL Server that we look at and then alarm based on what SQL Server is the last backup date/number of days.

• Foglight - alarms have http instead of https

  All,

  Alarms have a hyper link in the body which is http. Our FMS works well on https. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

  Thank you

  Locate the CATALYST_URL registry variable and change it to be the correct link for example a https port number

• Foglight alarm

  Hello

  Please advice on these alarms that we receive "service is unavailable" agent netmonitor

  that more often than not is not true. When you browse our alarms, that's what we find

  

  These screenshots show the alarms generated by the agent of LogFilter, which monitors the server.log to find errors.

  This is different from a message like "service is unavailable" to an alarm of agent NetMonitor, that ping one set of devices and you alerts if a target device is not available, or if there is packet loss on the network.

• In a tool such as Foglight events about APM-driven alerts

  Hi all

  Our company is currently having an internal debate whether Foglight can replace IBM Netcool Omnibus.  I had a conference call with Gartner last week to discuss the surveillance as a whole and one gentlemen on the phone said that "Foglight can replace Omnibus' which has left me a bit confused because I know that we have had these discussions with Dell, who said that they are not a replacement for Netcool Omnibus. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and I couldn't get their probe on this statement.

  We currently use the functionality of Netcool Omnibus in 5 ways that are:

  Event command line injection

  There is a binary called postzmsg which is drawn from the command line with parameters that contain the severity, summary, on call group and so on.

  Syslog monitoring
  Omnibus has a probe called syslog that we use for monitoring Oracle database log files and trigger events in Omnibus if specific events are found in the newspaper.  This is done in real time.

  SNMP traps
  Omnibus currently listening to breaks SNMP of some of our products like CA Autosys and cypress trees of the ASG.

  
  

  E-mail

  Omnibus was an electronic probe that monitors a specific e-mail (Google) for specifically formatted e-mail account and then turns them into an Omnibus event.  We use usually this method as a last resort because it is dependent on the e-mail.

  Automation of self-correction
  Omnibus contains what is called "Actions".  We can search for specific events, and then take corrective action with Automation in Omnibus to fix what caused the event. An example of this would be with our product CA Autosys.  Omnibus search specifically for events 'pulse' every 5 minutes. These heartbeats are sent directly by a job in Autosys which in turn proves Autosys is running.  If Omnibus does not see the heart beat, she considers as inactive Autosys and run scripts which then try to restart Autosys save.  Omnibus then reports if this attempt succeeded or failed and worsens the severity according to its conclusions.

  Please keep in mind that all of these methods are with an event-driven approach rather than a performance-based approach.

  I really need to have a clear picture on whether and how the Foglight can cope with the event focused on issues.

  I asked Dell technical support who said the follow-up:

  You may be able to use a script agent to meet your needs.  The script agent could return data to the FMS and you could have a rule that fires based on the data returned.You would be responsible to creating the script used by the agent.  There is a "Builiding Script Agents" section under the "Customizing Your Environment with Tooling | Building Script Agents" in the Foglight Administration and Configuration guide.
  

  Has anyone had experience with this? What was the result? Do you use today? Advantages vs disadvantages?

  If anyone has the source code example that it would be really appreciated! I am also very interested in hearing other thoughts which have Foglight and another tool such as Omnibus or other tools and how they use with Foglight or if they withdrew these tools after having long Foglight.

  Thanks to you all! Looking forward to your answers!

  Larry,

  Foglight can be configured to monitor the applications where an out of the box cartridge (module) was not developed and delivered with the product. There are several ways to customize Foglight.

  Event command line injection

  Looks like you want to send alarms foglight via a command line program. It is feasible because there are available with Foglight APIs to create alarms.

  Syslog monitoring

  Foglight monitoring logs with the logfilter agent. You can set the strings that need to be searched (when a log file is updated by your applications), then specify the corresponding string (based on regular expressions) is a warning, critcal or a fatal alert.

  For monitoring of log files from the database, which is available with the cartridges of the database (DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Sybase) delivered with Foglight.

  SNMP traps

  Foglight can receive (out of the box) SNMP traps and convert them to Foglight alarms.

  
  

  E-mail

  I study further on this request. Basically, it takes an e-mail player that puts the emails in a log file that will read the Foglight LogFilter agent and search for error conditions.

  Automation of self-correction Foglight rules have actions that can be performed in the cases where the rule detects specific conditions as the processor high as a basic example and then run the scripts commands, scripts remotely, send SNMP traps, invoke a JavaEE trace, etc. A custom agent could be developed to run your heartbeat AutoSys and then search for an answer to a file or stdout and update a Foglight table that is being tested in a rule.

• Monitoring stops working after changing the SQL Service account

  I have the Foglight for SQL Server cartridge. I recently changed the service account that is running the SQL Server engine and SQL Server Agent from a local account to a domain account. Everything works fine on the SQL Server side.

  No configuration changes have been made on the Foglight end, and none should be necessary Foglight is configured to use a separate service for SQL account both OS level followed. This account has always been in the local "Administrators" Group on the database server, as well as a "sysadmin" on the side of SQL Server server role. If I 'validate connectivity' within Foglight to that server, it shows that the connection is correct. I tried to remove the monitoring officer and recreation, but yet to see errors in the attached screenshot. Has anyone meet a similar problem?

  Although I couldn't find any indication that the agents were locked, I tried to release them anyway. That seemed to do the trick!

• reporting for trend PLE using Foglight

  Hello

  I use foglight for SQL Server 5.7. I want to create a report that shows the trend for the life expectancy of Page for a SQL server server. How can I do?

  I'm not sure I'm in the forum of Community law, but I couldn't find community for "foglight for sql server.

  Thank you!

  Take a look at the memory of summary - SQL in the database expansion Pack, which you can download here:

  http://communities.quest.com/docs/doc-13697

  Once you have downloaded and installed the expansion pack to your Foglight Management Server, navigate to the expansion Pack-> SQL Server DB-> dashboard-> memory summary - SQL.  Choose your instance using the parameter list in the right hand bar and you should see a trend to the hope of life in addition to other memories page measures.

  If you need additional assistance, please let me know.

• Impossible to select the time range in dropdown menu-foglight PASS UI.

  Hello

  I'm new to foglight and is having a little problem with the user interface. I doubt if I'm in the right place to ask this question.

  I use Foglight for SQL Server 7.0 v. Under UI, there is a drop down for the time interval, which, in my view, does not work as expected.

  

  Please see the snapshot. Here, when I click on "last hour", next to the slot, a drop down menu arrow rises but it disappears very quickly and I can't change. I think that this menu has options like "last 15 minutes, last 6 h etc.

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  I found the solution. It was because of two monitors.   Once I went to the main screen, I could see menu items drop down.

• Foglight and integration Sitescope

  Have anyone tried incorporating foglight sitescope?

  I would do it I push foglight alarm for use in sitescope. Is there any documentation for it?

  Thank you

  Research online it looks like Sitescope has a trap SNMP monitor, you are trying to send SNMP traps from Foglight

  The article talks about general SNMP forward, but I hope it helps.

• How interrogate foglight alarm_alarm and connect guests with her

  All,

  I know that this question has been asked in different ways.  I'm looking to directly query the database Foglight I can do an analysis through 4 other systems.  We are looking to integrate different sources into a data warehouse for later analysis in a real-time database close.  Foglight is able to give us a lot of points, but not all, and that's why we need query directly on the database.  Ultimately we are only looking for alarms, created time and the host just now.  Help or direction would be really appreciated.

  Kaleb

  Hi, Kaleb,.

  To answer your other point, Foglight alarms are associated with various items in different monitored domain models that may or may not be a host or associated with a host.

  For example, an alarm associated with a 'cluster' has no associated host.

  In an event focused on the rule, the object that triggered the alarm is the source of the event:

  sourceID = @event.get ('topologyObjectID')

  def source = server. TopologyService.getObject (sourceID)

  Once you have the source, you need to look through a variety of possible paths to find the associated host.

  This trial and error process is implemented in the following script, that works for the majority of the alarms:

  def tryPath (source, path) {} result = null try {} result = source.get (path) } catch (Exception e) {} Returns the result } def getHostName (objectID) {} def hostname = null def source = null try {} source = server. TopologyService.getObject (objectID) } catch (Exception e) {} e return } If (source! = null) {} host name = tryPath (source, ' monitoredHost/name "" ") If (hostname == null) {} host name = tryPath (source, "the name of the controller/monitoredHost /") } If (hostname == null) {} name of host = tryPath (source, 'parent, agent, monitoredHost, name') } If (hostname == null) {} host name = tryPath (source, ' / hostname ") } If (hostname == null) {} host name = tryPath (source, ' controller / / hostname ") } If (hostname == null) {} name of host = tryPath (source, "agent/hostName") } If (hostname == null) {} parents-tryPath (source, 'parents') If the host name (parents.size () > 0) = tryPath (parents [0], "/ hostname") } If (hostname == null) {} parents-tryPath (source, ' controller/parents') If the host name (parents.size () > 0) = tryPath (parents [0], "/ hostname") } } Returns the host name } sourceID = def @event.get ('topologyObjectID') def hostName = getHostName (sourceID) Returns the host name

  Kind regards

• Clearly the alarms console outside FMS

  Hello

  I heard of a way to clean up an alarm outside the FMS console.

  Therefore, you should put a document in xml format in a folder on the fms server.

  has someone at - he tested this or could explain the folder in which the XML should be placed and what must be inside the xml more detailed?

  I already have the cartridge of integration but the help pdf confuses me:)

  Thank you very much

  VECD

  Hello vero,.

  I don't know which section including documentation confuses you. Maybe you could post details?

  It is easy to draw a Foglight alarm from the command line using the AlarmService API.

  Here's a groovy script to clear an alarm:

  clearAlarm.groovy
  def alarmID = args [1] If (server. AlarmService.getAlarm (alarmID) == null) return "error: alarm"+ alarmID + "not found!". " Server. AlarmService.clearAlarm (alarmID) return "Off alarm."

  Here is an example of a command line to run this script (Windows and Unix):

  > %FGLHOME%\bin\fglcmd.bat - srv fmshost - fglusr usr - pwd fgluserpw1 - cmd script: run f clearAlarm.groovy 776d121b-e18f-487c-a0cb-b633614a88f2

  Off alarm.

  > $FGLHOME/bin/fglcmd.sh - srv fmshost - fglusr usr - pwd fgluserpw1 - cmd script: run f clearAlarm.groovy 4f905ffb-ba7c-4809-8940-99ad3468a3e7

  Off alarm.

  The "alarmID' passed as an argument to the script is the identifier of the alarm returned by alarm.getID ().

• How to remove an instance of surveillance?

  I have the Foglight for SQL Server cartridge and can add instances to monitor. However, I don't find a way to remove them. The documentation says nothing about it. Anyone know how?

  Thank you! This seems to have done! I didn't surveillance database could be controlled outside of the menu "Databases". 'Administration' at the Foglight level doesn't seem to be the most intuitive place, but I managed to remove instances that I is no longer necessary to monitor.

  In my version of Foglight, it was under "Administration-> Agents-> Status.

  [UPDATE]

  Now, when I look at my dashboard of databases, 2 cases, I deleted are indeed gone, but 2 other cases appear to have stopped working, and the menu alerts (as indicated by the error) is not havbe anything useful. Any ideas what happened here? Note that 2 agents on the bottom do not even know the version of SQL Server or any other information. They were working perfectly until I deleted the other 2 cases.

  

  In addition, when you click on "Agent settings" on one of these two instance, I get the following error:

  

  [UPDATE]

  Restart of the Foglight Server seems to have solved the problem. Agents now appears correctly for all monitored servers.

• Query to find a required rule in the database

  Hi all

  I get a few empty alerts a unknown rule in my console and it's really hard to check each any every rule as much of his time. Could someone help me if there is no work around where we can write a query in the database and look for the rulename, or something like that.

  Please help me if possible...

  Kind regards

  Shiva G

  Hey Shiva

  In your original post, you mentioned that the alarm appears in your console.  You hear your dashboard Foglight alarms?  If so, how the alarm appears in the dashboard?
