Foglight for vCloud Director uses the vCloud Director Agent to collect information from monitored hosts. Creating a vCloud Director Agent instance creates the agent process on the Agent Manager host. Activating the vCloud Director Agent starts that agent process. Starting an agent instance’s data collection enables the agent to start collecting data from the monitored host and to send it to the Management Server. When the vCloud Director Agent package is successfully deployed, create one or more agent instances, activate them, and start their data collection. To perform these steps in a single operation for one or more monitored hosts, use the Create vCloud Agent wizard accessible from the Agents area on the Administration tab of the vCloud Environment dashboard.
