Configure NetMonitor to use the OS-specific ICMP services instead of the Agent Manager ICMP service (4248288)

Foglight Net Monitor uses the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) service to communicate with network devices. There are two versions of this service that are available for use:

• Foglight Agent Manager ICMP service uses the udp2icmp application, that is installed with the Agent Manager, and can be used to issue ICMP messages to target devices.
• OS-specific ICMP services use the following OS-level commands to issue ICMP messages to target devices:
  • ping
  • tracert (Microsoft Windows only) or traceroute (Linux only)

By default, Foglight Net Monitor uses the Agent Manager ICMP service for monitoring.

OS-level ICMP services can be configured by adding the -Dnetmonitor.icmpprovider=OS JVM system property to the [FGLAM_HOME]/state/default/config/baseline.jvmargs.config file.

vmparameter.X = "-Dnetmonitor.icmpprovider=OS";

Note: Replace X with the next number in the sequence of JVM options.
