Managing certificates

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:

<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:

Foglight Evolve agents use Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) to manage certificates for SSL encryption connection.

All the certificate-related command line options require that FglAM be up and running.

bin/fglam --add-certificate "user alias 1"=/path/to/certificate/file

The alias is required and is used in the list and delete operations to refer to the certificate. It can be anything.

bin/fglam --list-certificates

Print out a list of certificates and the aliases that refer to them.

Refer to the example output below:

Remove a certificate referred to by an alias.

bin/fglam --delete-certificate "user alias 1"

Use the keytool utility shipped with Foglight to create, import, or export certificates. This utility can be found at: <foglight_home>\jre\bin\keytool.

There are two FMS running modes:

The KeyStore Foglight used under non-FIPS mode is located at: <foglight_home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts (default password: changeit)

Use the keytool command in FMS JRE located in <foglight>/jre/bin

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias "<alias>" -file "<certificate path>" -keystore <foglight_home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit

<alias>: The alias is required and is used in the list and delete operations to refer to the certificate. It can be anything.
<foglight_home>: The folder path where the Foglight is installed.
<certificate path>: Your custom certificate path.

keytool -list -keystore <foglight_home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit

Remove a certificate referred to by an alias.

keytool -delete -alias <alias> -keystore <foglight_home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit

The KeyStore Foglight used in FIPS-compliant mode is located at: <foglight_home>/config/security/trust.fips.keystore (default password: nitrogen)

Use the keytool command in FMS JRE located in <foglight>/jre/bin.

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias "<alias>" -file "<certificate path>" -keystore "<Foglight_home>/config/security/trust.fips.keystore" -deststoretype BCFKS -provider org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider -providerpath "<Foglight_home>/server/core/bc-fips.jar" -storepass nitrogen

<alias>: The alias is required and is used in the list and delete operations to refer to the certificate. It can be anything.
<Foglight_home>: The folder path where Foglight is installed.
<certificate path>: Your custom certificate path.

keytool -list -keystore "<Foglight_home>/config/security/trust.fips.keystore" -deststoretype BCFKS -provider org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider -providerpath "<Foglight_home>/server/core/bc-fips.jar" -storepass nitrogen

Prints out a list of certificates and the aliases that refer to them.

Refer to the example output below:

Remove a certificate referred to by an alias.

keytool -delete -alias <alias> -keystore "<Foglight_home>/config/security/trust.fips.keystore" -deststoretype BCFKS -provider org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider -providerpath "<Foglight_home>/server/core/bc-fips.jar" -storepass nitrogen

C:\Quest\Foglight\jre\bin>keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias "Evolve-Test" -file "D:/Evolve-test.crt" -keystore "C:/Quest/Foglight/config/security/trust.fips.keystore" -deststoretype BCFKS -provider org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider -providerpath "C:/Quest/Foglight/server/core/bc-fips.jar" -storepass nitrogen

Reviewing object instances and deleting expired data

Foglight Evolve Cloud™ collects data from monitored environments and creates a data model in real-time. The resulting topology model consists of nodes where each node is an object instance of a particular object type. Each type of monitoring environment can have a unique set of object types. Hyper-V Monitoring in Foglight Evolve Cloud includes a set of topology object types and their definitions. When Foglight Evolve Cloud collects data from your Hyper-V environment, it builds the topology model that consists of the instances of the object types defined by Hyper-V Monitoring in Foglight Evolve Cloud. By default, a monitored environment can result in up to 50,000 object instances being created by a single object type. This value is controlled by the foglight.limit.instances registry variable.

Registry variables have a global default value and type-specific scoped values. This means that different object types can have different instance limits.

Explore the Instances and Limits view to see the existing Hyper-V object types. To access this view, on the Hyper-V Environment dashboard, open the Administration tab, and click Review Instances and Limits.

Figure 8. Instances and Limits view

The Instances and Limits view displays the list of the existing Hyper-V object types, and for each type it shows the type name, instance limit, instance count, instance limit utilization, and the type status given as the highest severity level associated with an instance of that type. This information can give you insight into the size of your database and whether additional adjustments are required to improve your system performance. For example, if an object type results in a high number of object instances, this may result in performance bottlenecks. To prevent them, check if any of these are updated recently and, if not, delete them from the database, as described below.

To view the list of existing registry variables or to edit them, click Edit Registry Variable in the top-left corner. For complete information about registry variables in Foglight Evolve Cloud, see the Administration and Configuration Help.

For reference information about this view, see Instances and Limits view .
