Permissions for monitored operating systems

For details, see the following topics:

•

General Unix requirements

•

VMware permissions

•

Windows permissions

General Unix requirements

The OS user account for each agent requires:

•

Silent log-in — in particular, there must be no user-input required and no special login banners displayed

•

For connections using SSH, the sshd daemon must be installed and running.

In addition to these general UNIX® system requirements, each agent user account requires additional privileges depending on the operating system, as specified in the following table.


	NOTE: When monitoring DB2, SYSMON role and privileges for OS user is not required but is recommended to allow the installation to provide more information when discovering DB2 databases.

VMware permissions

To monitor VMware®, users must have read only access to the virtual center.

Windows permissions

Foglight support monitoring Windows® operating system in one of two ways: WinRM and WMI. The preferred method is WinRM when no WinRM connection WMI connection is used.

WinRM (default) - Based on Kerberos authentication or Basic authentication uses standard HTTP headers. For more information, see http://support.quest.com/technical-documents/foglight-agent-manager/5.9.3/foglight-agent-manager-guide/advanced-system-configuration-and-troubleshooting/configuring-windows-remote-management-winrm.

WMI (fallback) — Permission to access both DCOM and WMI. For more information, see

http://support.quest.com/technical-documents/foglight-agent-manager/5.9.3/foglight-agent-manager-guide/advanced-system-configuration-and-troubleshooting/configuring-windows-management-instrumentation-wmi.
