Foglight for SQL Server (Cartridge) 5.7.5.5

Welcome to the Foglight for Databases Deployment Guide. This guide provides the prerequisites for optimal deployment, to ensure the best user experience possible.

This guide describes important deployment information required to monitor the leading RDBMS: Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase and DB2 for LUW. The information in this guide applies to all 5.7.5.x releases.

Architecture

There are three main components:

•

Foglight Management Server and Foglight Database Repository — Responsible for managing, alerting and viewing the collected data. Both components can be set to run on the same machine or reside on separate machines.

•

Agent Manager — Hosts the monitoring database agents.

•

SQL PI Repository — An embedded repository which stores the SQL PI data that the monitoring agents collect. Currently available on Oracle and SQL Server monitoring only.

	NOTE: The product components can be either distributed over different machines — preferable in large or growing environments — or centralized.

Hardware Requirements

Identify your hardware requirements, which are determined by whether SQL PI is configured and by the number of monitoring agents.

•

SQL PI configured

•

SQL PI not configured


	NOTE: The Numbers of agent refers to DB agents. The IC agents resources are calculated within the DB agents.

SQL PI configured

SQL PI is available only for Oracle, SQL Server and SQL Server BI (Analysis services). These tables define the Hardware requirements for each server based on the number of monitoring agents

After locating your hardware requirements in the tables, ensure that you complete the manual JVM Setting configuration as described in:

•

Manual Configuration Required by all Users
