Foglight for MongoDB provides a graphic, intuitive method for creating and configuring agents, which can be used instead of Foglight’s default method for creating agents and editing their properties using the Agent Status dashboard. Foglight for MongoDB allows running a wizard that provides a common entry point for adding database instances and then configuring these instances for monitoring.

Note: If the agent was created successfully but data is not appearing, go to the Dashboards | Administration | Agents | Agent Status page and click the icon in the Log File column for the agent you created. In most cases, the reason for the failure will be obvious. You can also refer to the Foglight for MongoDB Installation and Troubleshooting document for common errors and solutions. If the solution requires reconfiguring the agent properties, follow steps 3-7 of the Using the Agent Status Dashboard section.
If the MongoDB agent package has never been deployed to the FglAM that will be used to host the agent, this must be done before an agent has been created. You can use the Deploy Agent Package button on the Agent Status or Agent Managers page to perform this.
