Foglight 5.9.3 - Installing Foglight on a UNIX System with an External PostgreSQL Database

Before Installing Foglight Installing Foglight Running the Management Server Installing and Upgrading Cartridges Installing Agents

Option 2 - Run SQL scripts to configure the database

If you clicked Create during the database installation step, the SQL scripts in the<foglight_home>/scripts/sql directory are prepared with the provided configuration options. There are four SQL files for each database type ([dbtype]):

•
[dbtype]_drop_db.sql
•
[dbtype]_create_db.sql
•
[dbtype]_create_schema.sql
•
[dbtype]_populate_db.sql

You can review these scripts before running them.

You must run the configured scripts against the database using a third-party tool.

To perform manual database configuration:
 
* 
NOTE: After running the psql command, you will be prompted for the password. The first two commands you need to type the <DBA_username> password, and the last two commands you need to type the <foglight_username> password.
a
psql -U <DBA_username> -d <dbname> -W -f <foglight_home>/scripts/postgresql_drop_db.sql
b
psql -U <DBA_username> -d <dbname> -W -f <foglight_home>/scripts/postgresql_create_db.sql
c
psql -U <foglight_username> -d <dbname> -W -f <foglight_home>/scripts/postgresql_create_schema.sql
d
psql -U <foglight_username> -d <dbname> -W -f <foglight_home>/scripts/postgresql_populate_db.sql

After you have run all four scripts, you can start the Management Server. Proceed to Starting and stopping the Management Server.

Description

-s

start

Starts the Management Server (this option is assumed if no command is specified).

-d

start the process as a daemon

Starts the Management Server as a daemon (if the process is not started as a daemon, the command prompt is held captive by the running Management Server, and remains in the foreground).

NOTE: The following scripts in $FGLHOME/bin directory can start the Management Server as a daemon and shut it down, respectively:
fmsStartup.sh
fmsShutdown.sh

-n

name

Provides a unique name for this instance of the Management Server.

-j

jvm-argument

Can be used to set more than one VM option.

-v

version

-h

help

Initialization scripts

Another option is to start the Management Server using initialization scripts. This option is particularly useful when you want to automatically start the Management Server after it has been rebooted.

The initialization scripts can be found in the directory <foglight_home>/scripts/init.d. A readme.txt file is available in the same location. Review this file before running the script as it contains valuable information on how to use the script for your specific platform.
