Managing Agents

Storage Collector Agent

Storage Collector Agents collect raw data from storage devices. You need to configure a Storage Collector Agent for each storage device you want to monitor.

Network Ports Used

Foglight for Storage Management uses several standard TCP/IP ports for its collections. These ports must be opened and traffic allowed between the storage devices and the Agent Manager hosts. The following table provides network port requirements by storage device.

Sizing Your Monitored Environment

* 
IMPORTANT: You should not consider a production implementation without first conducting a proper scoping and sizing exercise. To arrange for a sizing analysis, contact your Quest Software Sales representative.

The number of physical disks (among all monitored storage arrays and filers) in the monitored environment is a rough guide to the size of the Foglight for Storage Management collection environment.

Ensuring System Requirements are Met

Due to the potential for a very large number of objects being collected, analyzed, and maintained by the application, there are several aspects of the underlying server that must be taken into account. The sizing of the supporting server or virtual machine (VM), depends upon the size and complexity of the underlying environment.

Sufficient processing power and CPU memory must be present to support effective collection and server data handling and analytics. Collected data is staged in memory prior to passing to the collector database.

The following sections describe the requirements for small and large collection environments, as well as for the Agent Manager.
