If the monitored DB2 server is v9.7.0.10 or v9.7.0.11, the following metrics are not available: Memory Wait, Memory Wait Rate, pureScale Wait, pureScale Wait Rate, Total CPU Wait, Memory Wait (seconds), and pureScale Wait (seconds).

In Upgrade Wizard, when upgrade finishes (click the Finish button), there will be low chance that the page will navigate back to the beginning of the Wizard.

Workaround:

In fact the upgrade has already been finished after the first upgrade process. We can directly cancel the second upgrade process. Then, we can validate:

In Database GlobalView, there should be no “Upgrade Required” displayed.
In Agent Status, the agents' version should be updated.

DDB-1671

When monitoring an instance running on Windows using a Foglight Agent Manager that is running on a non-Windows platform, open file descriptors are not closed correctly.

Workaround: On the Foglight Agent Manager machine, the “description” limit is configured to “1024”. This value should be defined as “unlimited” or to a larger number, for example “65535”.

DDB-2073

For DB2 version below 9.7, the CPU collected and displayed for a monitored instance is the CPU for only the monitored databases under that instance. The instance CPU does not include the CPU for any databases that are under the instance and are not monitored.

When the legacy Cartridge for DB2 LUW and Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.5.x are installed on the same Foglight Management Server and you upgrade the latter to Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.6.4 or later, the online help for the legacy version is no longer available.

Workaround:

1

If you have a Foglight for DB2 LUW agent that has never been used to collect data and you upgrade to Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.6.4 or later, you will not be able to activate and use the agent seamlessly. To activate and use the Foglight for DB2 LUW agent seamlessly, you must first create an Infrastructure agent and then manually set up resource mapping for that agent. For information on how to create an Infrastructure agent, see the Infrastructure Cartridge documentation. For information on how to set up resource mapping, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.

WMI-related issue

Problem: WMI support is affected by the firewall on versions of Windows prior to Windows 7.

Workaround: For Windows versions prior to Windows Server 2008/Vista, use the following steps:

Use the RPCCfg.exe (Windows Resource Kits) by running: rpccfg.exe -pe 5009-5009 -d 0
Manually add the registry keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet

For Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008:

According to Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929851), the default dynamic port range for TCP/IP has changed in these versions. The new default start port is 49152 and end port is 65535. Subsequently, monitoring instances that run under these operation systems can be carried out by using either one of the following options:

FAM-7722

In FIPS-compliant mode, it is required to use at least 2048 RSA and DSA key size to do OS monitoring via SSH connection in DB cartridge.

When FglAM version is lower than 5.9.7.1, FglAM will not check RSA/DSA key size < 2048, and the connection is non-FIPS compliant.

Workaround: Upgrade the FglAM version to 5.9.7.1 or later.

Some base values are not updated when using the Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WMI class to calculate performance data in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008, because this class does not contain the PercentDiskTime_Base metric.

Workaround: A hotfix is available on Microsoft's Web site, at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/961435/en-us.
