Blackout Configuration

There are several starting points available form the Blackouts page that you can use to view and manage blackouts. Choose the dashboard that best suits your needs. For example, to quickly see a list of all blackouts and delete the ones that you no longer need, navigate to the Manage Blackouts dashboard, and select and delete the desired blackouts.

Manage Blackouts. Use this dashboard to view, create, and delete blackouts. For more information, see Explore and manage blackouts.
View Blackouts by Object. Use this dashboard to view topology blackouts. Topology blackouts do not interrupt the data collection for the object to which the blackout is assigned. For more information, see View a list of blacked out objects.
View Blackouts by Agent. Agent blackouts are events during which the agent ceases to collect data for the duration of the blackout period. For more information, see View a list of blacked out agents.

The Manage Blackouts dashboard allows you to view and manage existing blackouts. This dashboard lists all existing blackouts, including topology and agent blackouts. It also provides quick access to workflows for creating new blackouts.

By default, the following columns are displayed:

Name contains the blackout name.
Schedule, Name contains the name of the schedule associated with the blackout.
Schedule, Currently Blacked Out indicates whether the blackout is currently in effect: Yes or No.
Schedule, State indicates if the blackout schedule is in effect (Current), expired (Expired), or set to occur at a later time (Future).
Includes Children indicates whether the blackout is inherited by the descendents of the affected type (topology blackouts only): Yes or No.
Type shows the blackout type: agent blackout or topology blackout .

In addition to these columns, the following columns can also be displayed by clicking and selecting them from the Show Columns dwell that appears.

Next Start shows the date and time on which the next instance of the blackout period starts.
Next End shows the date and time on which the next instance of the blackout period ends.
Duration shows the length of time during which the next blackout period will be in effect.

Click Create One-Time Blackout or Create Scheduled Blackout to start the Create Blackout Wizard that allows you to quickly add a new blackout to the existing collection. For more information about the available flows, see Create one-time agent blackouts, Create scheduled blackouts for alarms, and Create scheduled blackouts for agents by selecting objects.

The left-most column in the list contains check boxes that allow you to select one or more blackouts, and delete them, as required. Click Select All and Select None to select all variables or clear all selections, respectively.

The View Blackouts by Object dashboard lists all topology objects that are blacked out. Use this dashboard to quickly identify the objects whose alarms are suspended.

To access this dashboard, on the Blackouts page, click View Blackouts by Object. For each topology object, the following columns are displayed.

Name contains the name of blacked out topology object.
Type contains the name of the topology type of the blacked out object.
Includes Children indicates whether the blackout is inherited by the descendents of the affected type (topology blackouts only): Yes or No.
Monitored Host contains the name of the host associated with the blacked out object.
Schedule contains the name of the schedule associated with the blackout.
Currently Blacked Out indicates whether a blackout is currently in effect: Yes or No.
Schedule State shows if the blackout schedule is in effect (Current), expired (Expired), or set to occur at a later time (Future).

The View Blackouts by Agent dashboard lists all agents that have blackouts. Use this dashboard to quickly identify the agents for which blackouts are configured.

To access this dashboard, on the Blackouts page, click View Blackouts by Agent. For each topology object, the following columns are displayed.

Name contains the name of blacked out agent instance.
Type contains the type of the blacked out agent instance.
Host contains the name of the host the blacked out agent is monitoring.
Schedule contains the name of the schedule associated with the blackout.
Currently Blacked Out indicates whether the blackout is currently in effect: Yes or No.
Schedule State shows if the blackout schedule is in effect (Current), expired (Expired), or set to occur at a later time (Future).

There are two types of blackouts that can be assigned to agent or topology object instances:

To create one-time blackouts, click Create a One-Time Blackout on the Blackouts page. To create scheduled blackouts, click Create a Scheduled Blackout.

The resulting workflow is in wizard form. You can navigate between the steps in the wizard using the navigation buttons that appear in the bottom-right corner of the display area (Previous, Next, Finish, and Cancel), or use the bread crumb trail to return to the Blackouts page.

The type and range of steps that you complete in the wizard depend on the type of blackout you want to create. For example, to suspend data collection for a period of time, you can identify agent instances that you want to black out and specify the blackout period. To prevent alarms from being generated during specific periods of time, identify the objects that you want to black out, and associate the blackout with a specific schedule.

For more information about the workflows in the Create Blackout Wizard, see the following topics:

Creating one-time agent blackouts suspends the agents’ data collection for a specific period of time. This can be done by selecting specific agent instances whose data collection you want to suspend and specifying the time range during which the blackout is in effect.[FDOC-378] One-time blackout periods are added to the list of Foglight schedules, and automatically deleted from there when the one-time blackouts with which they are associated expire.

Schedules are used in different parts of Foglight, such as in blackouts, reports, registry variables or derived metrics definitions. A schedule consists of schedule items. Schedule items have specific start and end times, and a recurrence pattern.

Foglight includes a number of pre-defined schedules that you can use. If you do not find a schedule that meets your needs in the collection of existing schedules, you can create a new one using the Simple New Schedule Wizard. When you create a new schedule this way, that schedule is added to the master schedule collection and is accessible by all components that make use of schedules. You can access this wizard from the workflows for creating or editing blackouts and reports.

Another way to create a new schedule is using the Create Schedule dashboard. For more information about this workflow, see Create schedules.

2
In the Simple New Schedule Wizard dialog box, in the Select a schedule pattern type area, select one of the available schedule patterns.
There are four types of schedules that you can create: Once, Periodical, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly. For details about each type, see Edit schedule items.

Editing agent blackouts is useful in situations when you need to quickly change one or more properties such as the blackout’s agents, or schedules associated with the blackout. For example, to suspend the data collection for more agents than originally defined in the blackout, simply open the agent blackout for editing, and select the additional agent instances.

Foglight Configuration

The Federation view contains information about the server federation. Federation is a Foglight feature that addresses the needs of customers who monitor large-scale environments that are naturally partitioned into logical units. Each of these partitions is traditionally served by one Foglight Management Server instance and its distributed clients/agents. Federation enables the use of one Management Server to operate, while using other Management Servers as the data source. The Federation Master Server manages the operation of those units, merging their data into a central model. Clicking an entry in this view drills down to the Foglight Server Topology view.

This view displays the following information:

Mode tells you whether the current Management Server installation is a Federated Child or a Federation Master in a federated system.
Standalone indicates that your monitoring environment is not federated.
Master indicates that the server is a Federation Server.
Children contains the number of children of the current Management Server installation in a federated system. If this setting shows zero ‘0’, combined with the Mode value of Child/Standalone, that is a good indicator that your monitoring environment is not federated.

The High Availability view indicates if Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. Configuring Foglight in HA mode allows you to run multiple servers in a JBoss partition offering HA. For more information on starting Foglight in High Availability mode, see the High Availability Field Guide.

This view displays the following information:

Status shows if Foglight is running in HA mode () or not ().
