• Foglight APM - JMX monitoring

  Hello

  I'm new to Foglight for Java application, monitoring, please bear with me in case I have posted this requirement in the wrong forum and tell me please right forum.

  I have obligation to use the JMX Foglight cartridge, aggregate the MBean attributes in different objects MBean and return the details in tabular mode. Can you please suggest how can I do this... ?

  Thank you

  Sunder

  It probably depends on the data itself.

  The JMX agent is the mechanism for this information.

  With Foglight, there are different ways to build custom dashboards to display data.

  -The easiest way is to drag and drop dashboards, you can drag node that contains items beneath him and choose to create a table

  

  Then choose what you want to display

  

  You can also drag and drop metric and view as a table or list

  -The second way requires more knowledge of the Foglight Web Part infrastructure, in some cases people take courses to get that knowledge, in some cases, they get professional services Dell to help with it and in some cases they follow this tutorial and then join the courage of things.

• Foglight 5.6.10 and Foglight NMS

  A copy of this question that was posted on the Foglight APM forum for NMS people respond

  http://communities.quest.com/message/93787

  "

  Hello

  We use 5.6.10 Foglight to monitor our production environment (VMware, Oracle, MS SQL, EMC Storage) and some time ago, has also decided to try Foglight NMS for just a few critical devices (UPS in the server room and some basic switches) and integrate it with Foglight.

  But now it seems that the product is EOL.

  So my questions are:

  1. I remember the product was free up to 100 devices, it's always like that? I've heard of representative commercial, changed up to 100 ports instead of devices... Even if it is true, I am still below, sostill want to use it.

  2. How do we get for free (up to the limit of devices/ports), but the license permanent?

  Concerning

  Jack Stys'

  1. There are no longer free licenses available. It sometimes ends in 2012.

• software Alert

  I'm looking for a software alert, I can issue alerts Foglight for, most action these rules is on EmailAction.

  Any recommendations?

  Thank you

  Rachel

  Hi Rachel,

  You can take a look at this:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/performance-monitoring/Foglight-APM/b/APM-blog/archive/2013/12/18/new-partnership-reliable-alerting-and-on-call-scheduling-with-pagerduty

  There are other ways to accomplish alert forwarding too. The easiest would be to create a simple rule that fires when other rules, and have the action on this rule makes the transfer of fire alarm.

  Kind regards

• Monitor a URL of this XML content generates

  We have some URLS when you navigate to them, you will see XML content. What we want to do is to have in place who will go to these URLS and a FAILUREto find error string XML content. If this error string is detected, we want an alert generated.

  Is this possible? Which agent would be used?

  It's quite possible with Foglight APM components, particularly with the devices of the APM. They allow you to only look at captured http (s) network traffice use network sniffing technology.

  Http (s) sniff can run either physical or virtual (i.e. on the VLANs).

  See edocs.quest.com on:

  • Applications and application servers performance monitoring
    • Application performance monitoring and the real user experience

  Basically, you set up a filter of success for a particular request path and check the response content using a regular expression.

• Distribution rules and registry variables between vFoglight facilities

  Hello!

  We are responsible for a number of clients vFoglight facilities. I wonder if there is a more automated way to manage rules vFoglight & variables of register (RV) (alarms). Many of the default rulesettings are questionable. I am looking for a solution where you can pack all your custom rules and RV and then deploy these settings on other facilities at vFoglight.

  I looked through the vFoglight 6.7 guide http://us-downloads.quest.com/Repository/support.quest.com/vFoglight/6.7/Documentation/Management%20Server/vFoglight_CommandLineReference.pdf command-line Reference

  There, on page 119, I found the command of the utility configexport (export or import of a monitoring policy). I already said that if you only keep the changes you made in for example in the rules, you could distribute these through differrent vFoglight facilities, is this correct? Is there someone who has created a script for this in the community?

  I learned that the best practices for managing individual and variable registry rules must copy each rule and RV in the user interface and then configure the new rule with the new RV in the rule editor.

  To do this is a very repetitive task. Is it possible to automate this supported/not supported? Also is it possible to distribute these customized rules & RV between vFoglight facilities, it automate still further?

  Thanks in advance!

  Edit

  I had implemented a policy of control of the commandlline with the command:

  fglcmd.bat - usr foglight - pwd - srv - port 443 ssl - cmd - util:configexport f strategy. XML

  When I imported a strategy later. XML where I had deleted all the content with the exception of I reign with the command

  fglcmd.bat - usr foglight - pwd - srv - port 443 ssl - cmd - f policynew.xml util:configimport

  The rule has been changed!

  If (@event.isSet("report/errorMessage")) {}
  Return @event.get("report/errorMessage");
  } else {}
  Return 'Report' + @event.get("report/reportName") + ' run on ' + @event.get("report/dateRun") + 'is fixed. This IS a TEST 20121114 Erik Alm«;»
  }

  The only question is

  1. If I delete all content instead of 1 rule as above nothing has changed

  2. If a problem arises due to an import of strategy 'bad', it can be solved with an import of the backup strategy?

  3. is it possible/safe to distribute the policy like this setting, change the multiple rules/RVs in vFoglight different facilities? With other words, you I configfile change rulesetting in several facilities? (If they are of course the version of fms even)

  4. If the rule/RV is not created/copied before that, these rules/RVs are created?

  5. anyone done this before and created a script that they would like to share?

  Thanks again!

  Erik Alm

  Edit 2

  It seems that it is possible to import new rules and have them appear in the management dashboard with the possibility of enableling rule the. A bug is interesting that they disappear from the new data management dashboard, but are visible in the dashboard management legacy rule.

  1 - does anyone know if the existing rule management dashboard will be removed anytime soon?

  I learned that there is a specific effect is called fglIDE cartridge. I have installed and tested in our product environment. It certainly has a great feature, and we could really use it.

  My respects to Stefan Marx to develop it!

  But I wonder that will be included in the Foglight APM Solution?

• The service status

  Hello.

  Could you help me to understand two things:

  1. how to show the severity of service conditions (no alarm filter)? For example I service - ServiceASClient with four components (1,2,3,4). When even one of the constituents have a critical status, my service is in critical condition, but in this case I should show only warning for my service state. And only when all components of four in critical condition, then show the critical State for the entire service.

  2. how to use a custom rule to set service status

  Thank you

  Hello Nikolay

  I think that what you do reference is essentially 'clustered' services - if one of the four groups is down, the service level availability is not affected as the other three are still functional, but if four are declining, the availability of level of service is affected.

  Take a look at Foglight - system availability (http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/f/4788/t/19561856), excellent how Services and levels of Service (http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-apm/b/apm-blog/archive/2012/04/20/how-services-and-service-levels-work) and levels of Service (http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/f/4788/t/19561320).

  This can be difficult to get your head around, but persevere!

  I hope that's what you're looking for

• 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 Roberts

  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.

• APM OLA Threshold Rule (cross posted)

  I see a number of alarms in the dashboard alarms from the rule of the OLA APM threshold but I do not understand what the rule is actually saying, and the description is not to help me (probably because I don't know what is in fact reference to OLA.

  The description says "this rule determines the alarm status based on the current level of the OLA".

  The message in the rule itself is similar to:

  «The current OLA at 0.00% and it is the fatal threshold of % 70.» Please see the operational effectiveness of the corresponding application server. "

  Because I am not sure what OLA refers to, I'm not clear on what I should really find here.

  Thoughts?

  Hello

  I think that OLA is synonymous with operating level agreement and in this case focuses on the time spent "in the back-end" (i.e. the application server & database).

  What's the alarm triggered by the end-user transaction performing?

  Either way, a good place to go to understand these terms is the edocs.quest.com Portal documentation online.  A search for OLA finds a number of hits including this one: http://edocs.quest.com/foglight/5611/doc/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/frameset.htm?context=cartridgeAPM&file=AppOpsCartridge/UseCases.3.php&single=true
  In what SLA and OLA is mentioned.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

• Satellite M70-159: how to set the APM mode on the HARD drive?

  Hello.
  I have Toshiba M70-159 and I have problem with my HARD drive. My power to drive (FUJITSU MHV2060BH) down from 2 to 5 min... I put in Toshiba Power Saver "Never."
  I now read http://www.fel.fujitsu.com/support/disk/manuals/m60_product_manual.pdf and I see maybe APM I put.
  How can I configure Mode APM?

  1.11 advanced Power Management (APM)

  The hard disk automatically switches to the mode according to energy saving the
  setting the APM mode under the inactive state.
  The APM mode can be selected with a number of sector register of ALL
  Control FEATURES (EF).
  The disk complies with the three types of modes of the APM which a command
  from the host is necessary.
  EN = 05 h: enable APM
  SC = C0h - FEh: Mode-0 Active Idle? Idle low power
  SC = 80 h - BFh: Mode-1 idle assets? Low power idle (default)
  SC = 01 h - 7Fh: Mode-2 inactive assets? Low power idling? Standby

  low power idle in 10.0 - 27, 5 seconds. After 10, 0-40, 0 seconds in
  Low power idle mode goes into sleep mode.
  Note:
  The default values for these settings are reflected in the values of WORD 91 of the
  Command IDENTIFIER. In addition, APM mode is initialized with the Mode-1
  (the default) to power off.
  The above mentioned is time until the transition to each mode of power based on the point
  that the reader becomes a State of waiting for order.

  How can I set Mode APM to disable EN = 85 h: disable the APM (Set Mode-0)

  Where do I put? Please help me.

  Hello

  You can use either the Toshiba Power Saver that controls also the APM mode or you will remove him this tool and then you will use the Windows power management.
  Here, you can change the settings for the APM mode.
  Unfortunately the other options to disable the APM Mode are not known to me.

• Satellite Pro 400CS: impossible to activate the APM

  Hello, I have on my pro 400Cs satellite I installed windows. In the equipment manager, APM support is disabled. If I have, it will activate and after a reboot it am off again. In addition, the announcement of the battery is missing. Sleep mode does not go as. If I have the software utility downloade it indicates with the announcement of the program Toshiba stack.

  Frank

  Hello

  This device is a good old classic. As far as I know that it s about 10 years.
  It was delivered with the Win95 and Win98.
  Well, I can't give you a solution to your problem because this unit is too old.
  You'll be a man of luck even if someone here in the forum knows an answer to your problem. All I can suggest is to check the BIOS. Maybe that here you can activate or change it in addition the battery settings.

  Good luck
