See the Support Policy on Virtualization on our support portal for important information on using Foglight in virtual environments.

Foglight™ requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run, both for the Management Server and for the Agent Manager that runs on monitored hosts.

Foglight installs the JREs it needs, but you must ensure that any machine that will run a component of Foglight has its operating system patched to the minimum patch level required to support this JRE. This release of Foglight uses the following Java versions:

Check with your operating system vendor for the latest operating system patches required to run this version of Java on your system. Foglight cannot check this during installation.
