Foglight Hybrid Cloud Manager 7.1.0 - User Guide (for AWS environments)

If Monitor All is selected: By monitoring all virtual machines any virtual machine that is running in the monitored cloud will be monitored 24x7 consuming a monitored virtual machine license. Every virtual machine that is monitored will count against the purchased license pool. Any Monitored Virtual Machine that is above the purchased license limit will require an additional Foglight Hybrid Cloud Manager per Monitored Virtual Machine license.

•

If Monitor All is not selected: The following view appears on the bottom of the Selected IaaS Virtual Machines to Monitor dialog box.

•

If Automatically Monitor New Instances is selected, select instances that you do not want to monitor, and then click >> to move selected instances to the Removed from Monitoring table.

•

If Automatically Monitor New Instances is not selected, select instances that you want to monitor, and then click >> to move selected instances to the Virtual Machines Monitored by Foglight Hybrid Cloud Manager table.

Syntax Conventions

In order to successfully make use of the Foglight commands in your monitoring environment, review the syntax conventions before getting started. The syntax conventions are as follows:

•

Generic examples follow the UNIX path structure that uses forward slashes '/' to separate directories.

•

Platform-specific examples follow standard platform conventions. For example, UNIX-specific examples use forward slashes ‘/’ as directory delimiters, while Windows examples use backslashes ‘\’.

•

<foglight_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Management Server installation.

•

<foglight_agent_mgr_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation. This can be the location of the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host, or the home directory of the Foglight Agent Manager that comes embedded with the Foglight Management Server. For example:

Path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host (Windows):

C:\Quest\Foglight_Agent_Manager

Path to the embedded Foglight Agent Manager installation (Windows):

C:\Quest\Foglight\fglam

•

Unless otherwise specified, Foglight commands are case-sensitive.
