deploy

Deploying Agent Packages

The deploy command deploys one or more Foglight agent packages.

In most cases, Foglight cartridges include one or more agent packages that are used to collect metrics from monitored hosts. You can deploy an agent package after installing the cartridge that includes that agent package on the Foglight Management Server. For information on how to install a cartridge using the fglcmd interface, see install ; to find out how to list available agent packages using fglcmd, see packages .

Creating or Deleting Agent Instances

create

The create command produces one or more Foglight agent instances.

You can create an agent instance after deploying the agent package on the Foglight Management Server. To create an agent instance that collects data, you first create the agent instance, activate it, and then start the data collection for that agent instance. Similarly, when you want to remove an agent instance, use a reverse order of actions: first stop the agent instance, deactivate it, and then delete it.

For information on how to deploy an agent package using the fglcmd interface, see deploy ; for information on how to delete agent instances, see delete .

WindowsAgent
•
UnixAgent
NOTE: For more information about these agents, see Foglight for Infrastructure User and Reference Guide.

delete

The delete command removes one or more Foglight agent instances.

To delete an agent instance, a typical flow of actions requires you to first stop the agent’s data collection, deactivate it, and then delete the instance. However, the delete command includes options and arguments, such as -active true and -datacollection true, that let you override that flow and delete active agent instances that are collecting data.

For information on how to deactivate an agent instance using the fglcmd interface, see deactivate .
