This Command-Line Reference Guide provides information about the Foglight® command-line interface. You can use Foglight commands to interface with different components of your monitoring environment instead of the browser interface.
This guide is intended for Foglight System Administrators who are new to Foglight can find information about syntax conventions along with an overview of all Foglight commands in the first chapter of this guide. The following chapters contain reference information about specific commands, such as the Foglight Management Server and Foglight Agent Manager commands. Advanced users can find information about the fglcmd interface in the last chapter. The last chapter contains information about the commands that provide administrative-level commands. Read this chapter to find out how to deploy and create agents, install and activate cartridges, manage licenses, and do many other administrative tasks from the command line.

From here, you can proceed to any of the following , as required:
The majority of server-specific commands access the server directly. As such, you can only issue them on the computer that is running an instance of the Foglight Management Server. One exception is the Remote Monitor utility that you can use to communicates with multiple instances of the Foglight Management Server running in High Availability (HA) mode. For more information about running the Foglight Management Server running in HA mode, see fmsha .
Your Foglight installation includes a compressed file, <foglight_home>/tools/remotemonitor.zip, that contains the Remote Monitor utility. If required, you can extract the contents of that file to a remote computer in your Foglight network and run the Remote Monitor utility from that computer, as described in To get started with Foglight Management Server commands: .
