Foglight Configuration

The Federation view contains information about the server federation. Federation is a Foglight feature that addresses the needs of customers who monitor large-scale environments that are naturally partitioned into logical units. Each of these partitions is traditionally served by one Foglight Management Server instance and its distributed clients/agents. Federation enables the use of one Management Server to operate, while using other Management Servers as the data source. The Federation Master Server manages the operation of those units, merging their data into a central model. Clicking an entry in this view drills down to the Foglight Server Topology view.

This view displays the following information:

Mode tells you whether the current Management Server installation is a Federated Child or a Federation Master in a federated system.
Standalone indicates that your monitoring environment is not federated.
Master indicates that the server is a Federation Server.
Children contains the number of children of the current Management Server installation in a federated system. If this setting shows zero ‘0’, combined with the Mode value of Child/Standalone, that is a good indicator that your monitoring environment is not federated.

The High Availability view indicates if Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. Configuring Foglight in HA mode allows you to run multiple servers in a JBoss partition offering HA. For more information on starting Foglight in High Availability mode, see the High Availability Field Guide.

This view displays the following information:

Status shows if Foglight is running in HA mode () or not ().
Peers shows the number of servers in the cluster, not including the current server.

The Server view displays information related to the Foglight Management Server.

The view shows the following settings:

Version. The version number of the Management Server whose configuration items you are viewing.
Build. The build version of the Management Server whose configuration items you are viewing.
Foglight Home. The installation directory of the Management Server on the computer on which it is installed.
JBoss Server Directory. The installation directory of the JBoss application server that is running the Management Server, on the computer on which the Management Server is installed.

This view contains information about federation settings. The federation settings are defined in the file <foglight_home>/config/federation.config. For more information about this file, see the Federation Field Guide.

The Federation view displays the following settings:

Connection URLs. The JNDI-provider URLs for federated servers. These URLs should use the JNDI JNP port (see Explore the Ports view ), as configured in <foglight_home>/config/server.config on the corresponding federated server. This setting is defined by the JndiURLs parameter in the file <foglight_home>/config/federation.config.
