• Need help how to make "Foglight and Performance analysis CLI - Windows Installation of" because my FMS_HOME is in Oracle. Please notify.

  Please guide me the Foglight command-line installation as I'm not sure how can I continue because my FMS_HOME is in Oracle.

  It seems you are trying to install Foglight agent manager by using the command line installer to ensure the follow-up of your Oracle database.  Foglight Oracle agent can be run either on the Oracle server, or another place as a remote agent locally.  As an agent remote is most common.  In general, this isn't your office, btu a server.  The FMS or another utility server.  You would normally run the installation program from the command line on the computer you want to monitor Oracle of.  Then the agent would run there and collect information of your Oracle instance.  You also mention the analysis of performance in the subject of this thread.  For Performance analysis, which must be a local installation on your Oracle server, but it's a different Installer than indicated above.

• Oracle 10g and Informix via DG4IFMX connection

  Ladies and gentlemen,
  
  I am a newbie to Oracle and I'm trying to connect my Oracle 10 g to a server Informix v.11.
  I did everything as it says in the manual (although many things is not well explained and even not included for example the informix database must have a transaction journal...) and I still have a few problems with the connection.
  
  I use oracle database gateway to informix (dg4ifmx).
  
  First of all when I run select * DUAL@dblink I have not a mistake at all, I just get a result X, that is, I realized that everything is well configured in tsnnames, auditor and initdg4ifmx.ora and the link to database.
  
  But when I write a table exist as select name * to enc_grid@dblink, I get this error:
  
  
  ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
  [Oracle] [Driver ODBC Informix Wire Protocol] [Informix] The specified table (ENC_GRID) is not in the database. {42S 02, NativeErr = - 206}
  ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines of LINK_INFORMIX
  
  The table exists for sure!
  
  Then I opened the track and I noticed a strange thing. There is an error occurring: error ptr FILE: hgocont.c LINE: 2686 ID:SQLDriverConnect

  When you look at the trace of the gateway, the gateway that is looking for a table called "ENC_GRID".
  Informix tables commonly are case sensitive so please check your select statement, write the table/column names as they are defined in tables/columns Informix datbase and surround names in double quotes.

  For example the enc_grid table contains only letters of less than your Informix database, and then type: select * from 'enc_grid"@dblink;

• Foglight and Dell Open Manager Application to monitor temperatures

  I would like to know how I would be able to use Foglight to monitor Dell servers.

  For example I'd like to monitor the temperature. These servers have Dell Open Manager installed on then. Can use/get Foglight all alerts to Dell Open manager?

  You can use the SNMP integration to monitor traps HW via Foglight.  Check out this post for a primer http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/f/4788/t/19552981.aspx

• 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

  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/performance-monitoring/Foglight-administrators/w/Admins-wiki/5567.event-driven-rules-SNMP-forward

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

• Foglight and Oracle

  Hi all
  is - anyone of you uses Foglight to monitor Oracle?
  
  If Yes, what are the interesting information that Foglight can collect/monitor?

• Configure alarms for VMware Datastore latency in version FREE Foglight!

  Hi all

  I downloaded the version free foglight and that I imported the FVO in my test harness. I want that when a data store has over 50ms latency so I should launch an alert.

  I can't see the alarms on the console free foglight.

  Can you please how can I do to achieve the same thing.

  Thank you

  Vaibhav

  Hi vaibhav,

  The free version does not include a rule to check latency of data store. I checked with development and looks like a new rule has been added to the Foglight for virtualization Enterprise Edition 7.2 (to be released in the following months). The new rule is called: VMW Datastore total latency.

  For the moment, in my view, there is a latency of data store rule included in one of the established community of cartridges. These cartridges are not created by Dell and are not supported. Take a look at it and see if it meets your request.

  http://communities.quest.com/docs/doc-12956#comment-6001

  Note: If your Foglight does not have the ability to install cartridges, chances are that you are running the Standard Edition version. If you have problems, please indicate the full version number. You should find it in the topic of the article.

• 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.

• Possible to integrate environmental Foglight existing with the purchase of a new vFoglight?

  We have used Foglight and JavaEE cartridges for years and are now looking to expand our use of Foglight to include vFoglight and cartridges of the database as well. I was looking around for more information on how to integrate our existing with the new monitoring vFoglight Foglight Management Server, because it seems to be a distinct type FMS console.

  I came across this old thread: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/virtualization/infrastructure/f/4826/t/19550426#10367

  Is it really as simple as updating the license file to get the vFoglight features in our existing FMS?

  Yes, you add the cartridges additional thanks to licensed and ready to start the deployment.

  Depending on the size of your environment, may want to be careful about the scalability of your current hardware, etc..

• Integrate vFoglight Pro with Foglight

  We have deployed in our environment Foglight. We recently bought Foglight and ti want to integrate this into the Foglight console. Are there guides to installation on how to perform this task?

  Thank you!
  -Mike

  Hi mhurst120,
  I'm sure you can simply import the new Pro vFoglight license in and features that are part of the pro version should be unlocked but you may have to restart the Foglight management service.
  What version do you currently use? An upgrade might be available that you can then point to the new license file.

• Telnet Monitoring port in Foglight

  Hi all

  At present I'm migrate all servers linux monitoring Nagios to Foglight and comparing Nagios check Foglight Infrastructure cartridge, I found that there is no verification of telnet port. Y at - it a cartridge that will take care of this type of surveillance or I need to write custom Foglight cartridge?

  Thank you

  Shashank Soni.

  Foglight doesn't do this out of the box, but it can be configured.  Check out these two positions: one and two.

  That said, I hope that you check that the telnet port is not open.  No one should use telnet these days, it isn't safe. Use ssh.

• Using the windows agent for the staging of some support teams and monitoring Service

  Hello

  We Foglight and use agent windows for tracking service and for the moment all our alerts lead to direct e-mails to our redress system, which in turn, their analysis and create tickets.  what I need to be able to do is direct services (when down) different teams - is it possible with Foglight?  IE we have implemented an agent of windows on a server and run the rule of services monitored on this server - then it must be said if the service is low it goes to the windows supports guys and if the function b is low t goes to the application support team.

  all advice appreciated!

  See you soon

  Davie

  Sure, ok, so it's not hard anymore:

  Fatal level:

  • Set a variable of severity level, called host name, of expression of type, defined as restore the extent?. host?. name
  • define another variable level, called serviceName, gravity type expression, defined as restore the extent?. name
  • define an other severity level variable, called Prospect of expression of type, defined as:

  serviceName = scope.get ('name')

  Format = null

  switch (service_name) {

  case "Alert": Prospect = 'Documentum Team. "

  Break;

  case "SQL Browser": Prospect = 'DBA Team. "

  Break;

  case "RasAuto": Prospect = 'external team '.

  Break;

  default: Prospect = 'MS Server Team.

  }

  return of prospect

  • Finally, define another variable of severity level, called matiere2, of type message, defined as @hostName : Fatal: Service @serviceName is down (@teamName)

• 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

  Tony

  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.

• 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.

• Reset the foglight user password

  Hi guys,.

  We managed to change the password of the user "foglight" and now, we are not able to connect more (using the old and the new password).
  Is there a way to reset the password of the foglight user?
  P.S.: We use version 6.5

  KR

  Christoffer

  Hello Duca,
  An update statement SQL to reset the password, you will need a race. What is your vFog DB?
  I suggest to open a support case.
