Using Foglight for Infrastructure agents

Foglight for Infrastructure uses agents to collect information about the monitored hosts. Agents communicate with the Foglight Management Server using the Foglight Agent Manager.

Configuring Multiple Instances for Monitoring using Silent Installation

Foglight for Infrastructure silent installation uses scripts and a CSV file to setup multiple Infrastructure agents on a given Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM). The CSV file defines the instances to be created. For more information, see Contents of the Input CSV File .

To add multiple agents using the silent installation through a command line interface:

Go to the command line and run the command: <FMS_HOME>/bin/fglcmd -srv <fms_host_name> -port <fms_url_port> -usr <fms_user_name> -pwd <fms_user_password> -cmd script:run -f infrastructure_agents_silent_install.groovy fglam_name <fglam_name> instances_file_name <instances_file_name> lockbox_name <lockbox_name> lockbox_password <lockbox_password>
