Using Foglight for Infrastructure agents

Foglight for Infrastructure uses agents to collect information about the monitored hosts. Agents communicate with the Foglight Management Server using the Foglight Agent Manager.

Using the PowerVM HMC agent

Foglight™ for PowerVM allows you to monitor IBM® PowerVM® environments. Foglight alerts you about infrastructure problems as soon as they develop, enabling you to resolve issues pro actively before end users are affected. Early intervention ensures consistent application performance at established service levels. Foglight for PowerVM monitors the health of your virtual system by tracking the levels of resource utilization such as CPU, network, and memory consumption of individual objects in your integrated environment.

To monitor a collection of PowerVM® servers, you need a running instance of the PowerVM HMC Agent. This agent is provided with Foglight for PowerVM.
