Logging in to Foglight

 
* 
NOTE: The Management Server must be running before you can log in to Foglight.
To log in to Foglight using a web browser:
1
Open a web browser and type the following:
http://<hostname>:<port>
Where <hostname> is the name of the machine where the Management Server is installed and <port> is the HTTP port specified during installation (the default is 8080).
2
Enter a valid user name and password and click Login.
 
* 
NOTE: The Foglight browser interface requires JavaScript. Ensure that you have enabled JavaScript in your web browser before you attempt to log in.

Monitoring the Management Server host

During the installation, or upgrade, a HostAgent is automatically created to monitor the host where the Management Server, the embedded Foglight Agent Manager, and embedded database run. The health of this host directly affects the health and performance of Foglight.

To view the HostAgent:
1
Start the Management Server.
For detailed information, see Starting the Management Server .
1
Log in to Foglight.
2
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
3
On the Agent Status dashboard, find the UnixAgentPlus called EmbeddedHostMonitor.

Information about the status and data collection of the agent are available on this dashboard.

To view the data that the HostAgent collects for the Management Server host:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Infrastructure.
2
From the Select a Service list, select the service for the host.
3
On the Monitoring tab, select the host from the list.

For more information about monitoring activities and exploring the data collected for the host, see the Foglight for Infrastructure User and Reference Guide.

Migrating data from an existing database

The contents of the MySQL® database can be copied to another MySQL instance via an export/import cycle.

The following procedure performs a full export of the database and can be run against a database currently in use by a server.

To export and import a MySQL database:
1
Run the following command from the MySQL command shell:
mysqldump -u <username> -p <password> -h <hostname> -P <port> --databases <database name> --routines --single-transaction > backup.sql
The -h parameter can be omitted if the database is on the same host.
2
Import the database using the following syntax:
mysql -u <username> -p <password> -P <port> < backup.sql
The import process recreates the tables in the database. Therefore, any data that was in the destination environment prior to the import is lost.
 
* 
NOTE: The Foglight servers must be stopped during the import process.

When moving a database between environments, care should be taken to ensure that the Foglight schema version is lower or equal to the Management Server version in the destination environment, as an upgrade to a new schema is possible. Start the Management Server with the option:

-Dfoglight.database.upgrade=true

or run foglight_db_upgrade.sh.
