Foglight for Storage Management

Foglight for Storage Management is built on Foglight, which provides the following components:

•
Management Server — The Management Server receives information from agents, stores and processes data, and makes it available in the browser interface.
•
Agent Manager — The Agent Manager is a middleware application that hosts agents, manages agent lifecycle (such as start, stop, and restart), manages the connection to the Management Server, and provides centralized services to agents.
•
Database Repository — The database where data from all sources is collected and aggregated for display in the browser interface.
•
Browser Interface — The interface you use to view data collected from your monitored environment and to investigate issues. You also use it to configure Foglight for Storage Management and perform administrative tasks.

For more information, see “Components” in the Foglight for Storage Management Getting Started online help.

Storage Collector Agent

Storage Collector Agents collect raw data from storage devices. You need to configure a Storage Collector Agent for each storage device you want to monitor.

Network Ports Used

Foglight for Storage Management uses several standard TCP/IP ports for its collections. These ports must be opened and traffic allowed between the storage devices and the Agent Manager hosts. The following table provides network port requirements by storage device.

Sizing Your Monitored Environment

* 
IMPORTANT: You should not consider a production implementation without first conducting a proper scoping and sizing exercise. To arrange for a sizing analysis, contact your Quest Software Sales representative.

The number of physical disks (among all monitored storage arrays and filers) in the monitored environment is a rough guide to the size of the Foglight for Storage Management collection environment.
