Federation is a Foglight® feature that addresses the needs of customers who monitor large-scale environments that are naturally partitioned into logical units. Each partition is traditionally served by one Foglight Management Server instance and its distributed clients/agents.
Federation enables the use of one Foglight® Management Server to operate, while using other Management Servers as the data source. As illustrated in the following figure, a Foglight user can visualize the data from one or more stand-alone Management Servers (the Federated Children) from a single, central Management Server (the Federation Master). This allows users to meet both local and central monitoring requirements.
Federation should be used to address the following customer environment issues:
Federation Masters have the following capabilities:
• |
Unifying and periodically synchronizing the model between more than one Foglight® Management Server. |
The federation feature allows users to:
• |
Go to the Alarms Viewer and see all current alarms that are reported by any Federated Child. |
IMPORTANT: In Foglight 5.7.x, users can control the alarms’ refresh period by setting the MaxAlarmUpdateDelay parameter in the federation.config file. For more information, see Alarm service communication channel. |
Foglight® 6.1.0 has the following known issues with respect to federation:
