The config/fglam-config.xml file contains an attribute that allows you to disable any agent-specific changes to the upstream queue settings at runtime. By default this attribute is set to true. You can use this feature, for example, to prevent individual agents to negotiate allocating large amounts of memory.
The Management Server includes a credential management system that enables you to create, store, and manage credentials through the Foglight® browser interface.
Different cartridges support different types of credentials. Some cartridges, for example, support the use of Windows® and UNIX® credentials, while others can only authenticate local users. The credential type determines which parts of the monitored system are used to connect to a resource, such as host names or IP addresses. For complete information about cartridge-specific credential types, see your cartridge documentation.
For detailed information about managing credentials in Foglight, see “Controlling System Access with Credentials” in the Administration and Configuration Guide.
Foglight supports the following commonly used credential types:
• |
Challenge Response: Uses one or more challenge and response pairs to grant access without requiring any interaction in the browser interface. The answers are sent by the agent as part of the agent configuration. |
• |
Domain, User Name, and Password (Windows): Requires a user name and password to access a monitored resource. The domain name is optional. |
IMPORTANT: When specifying a domain name in this credential type, a fully qualified domain name is required. Failing to use a fully qualified domain name may prevent the Agent Manager from establishing a connection to a remote monitored resource. For example, if the full domain name is prod.example.com, use prod.example.com as the domain name instead of just prod, when configuring the credential. |
• |
DSA Key: Uses the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) Key for authentication. |
• |
RSA Key: Uses the RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) Key for authentication. |
• |
Use Client’s Login At Connection Time: Uses the currently logged in user’s account to access secured resources. This is not the user currently logged into the Management Server, but the user under which the credential client is running. For example, a credential provided to an Agent Manager instance launched by a user on a remote machine, causes the connection to the secured resource to be made using this user’s identity. |
• |
User Name: Requires a user name to access a monitored resource. |
• |
User Name and Password: Requires a user name and password to access a monitored resource. |
For more information about creating and managing credentials, including detailed examples of configuring a credential, see “Exploring the Manage Credentials Dashboard” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.
