Foglight for NetVault 1.5 - User Guide

Getting Started

Creating a NetVault Agent

Each NetVault Agent monitors the assets inside the selected NetVault Backup environment. To enable the data collection for Foglight for NetVault, create a NetVault user with the “Monitor Presets” privilege, as well as grant this user with the access to the client groups and media groups that you want to monitor.

 

2
On the navigation panel, under Homes, click NetVault Environment.
The NetVault Environment dashboard opens.
3
In the NetVault Environment dashboard, click Administration, and then click Create Agent.
The NetVault Agent Wizard dialog box opens.
4
Select Agent Host: Select the agent manager on which the new agent is to be deployed, and then click Next.
5
NetVault Properties: Specify the following values, and then click Finish.
Server Address: The IP address of the NetVault Server that hosts the agent instance.
Port: The port number used by the NetVault Server for listening to the connections from the agent instance (default: 8443).
Use Https: The option used to enable the agent connection using HTTPS (default: true).
Login Username: The name of the user that has the privileges required for connecting to the NetVault Server and retrieving information.
Login Password: The password of the user that has the privileges required for connecting to the NetVault Server and retrieving information.
Error Event Keywords: Keywords used to classify NetVault error events. Separate multiple keywords by comma.
Warning Event Keywords: Keywords used to classify NetVault warning events. Separate multiple keywords by comma.
Collected Event Classes: The option used to indicate which event classes will be collected by the agent instance. By default, all event classes available in the NetVault Server are checked.
Collect Log Level: The option used to indicate which logs will be collected by the agent instance. Warning and above is set by default.

Managing certificates

In order to successfully make use of the Foglight commands in your monitoring environment, review the syntax conventions before getting started. The syntax conventions are as follows:

<foglight_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Management Server installation.
<foglight_agent_mgr_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation. This can be the location of the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host, or the home directory of the Foglight Agent Manager that comes embedded with the Foglight Management Server. For example:

Foglight Evolve agents use Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) to manage certificates for SSL encryption connection.

All the certificate-related command line options require that FglAM be up and running.

bin/fglam --add-certificate "user alias 1"=/path/to/certificate/file

The alias is required and is used in the list and delete operations to refer to the certificate. It can be anything.

bin/fglam --list-certificates

Print out a list of certificates and the aliases that refer to them.

Refer to the example output below:

Remove a certificate referred to by an alias.

bin/fglam --delete-certificate "user alias 1"

Configuring data collection interval

The default data collection interval of NetVault agents is set to 10 minutes by default. Foglight for NetVault enables you to change this collection interval as needed.

1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, select Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
2
On the Agent Status dashboard, select the NetVault agent that you want to monitor, and then click Edit Properties.
3
In the Edit Properties dashboard, click Edit next to the Collector Config field.
NOTE: Quest highly recommends setting the Collector Config (also knowns as Collection interval) to a value that is larger than 10 minutes and is multiples of 10 minutes; otherwise the NetVault agent might not collect metrics from the NetVault Server.
