Defect ID |
Known Issue |
FGL-20503 |
Fail to download the FglAM installer via server download page. |
FAM-7697 |
The connection test via installation GUI or headless would take about 2 minutes when FglAM and FMS are in different FIPS modes. |
FAM-7559 |
Agents fail to monitor the WinServer2019 Domain Controller via DCOMWindowsCommandShell connection. |
FAM-7381 |
HA failover fails and Agent Manager Agents become broken, once the Management Server deployed in the HA environment is restarted. |
FAM-7365 |
The Infrastructure agent fails to collect the data due to the "Failed setting a value for obsolete node:" error. |
FAM-7342 |
Part of data collected on the Host dashboard is missing due to ConnectionBrokenException. |
FAM-7341 |
The CPU usage of the Agent Manager constantly reaches 100%. |
FAM-7330 |
The "sqlserv.exe process" and "Memory Top Consumers" metrics collected by the Windows Agent are incorrect. |
FAM-7307 |
Many errors show in the Agent Manger log and there is no data displayed on the VMware dashboard. |
FAM-7210 |
The Agent Manager version number is incorrect on the Script Console dashboard, after being upgraded to 5.8.5.5.2 from 5.8.5.5.1. |
FAM-7209 |
FglAM-Adapter-Devkit-6.1.3 is missing after the Agent Manager is upgraded from 5.8.5.4.1 to 5.8.5.4.2. |
FAM-7193 |
FglAM running on Linux/Solaris fails to connect to the target host through link-local IPv6 WMI, if multiple network interfaces exist in the target host. |
FAM-7169 |
WinRMCommandShell returns empty output when using BAT scripts. |
FAM-7116 |
WMI connection cannot be established successfully when using the IPv6 address to monitor the target host. |
FAM-7023 |
Agents will be broken (FMS deletes them), after changing FglAM host name, IP, or display name. The agents will be recreated when the FglAM starts with the original FglAM display name. |
FAM-6998 |
Cannot deploy multiple HA-aware gars to a standby host at one time.
|
FAM-6942 |
HA failover fails and the value of mState on standby peers changes to MISSING_LOCKBOX in JMX console. |
FAM-6940 |
There are duplicate IP addresses for different FglAM instances (running on Linux) in the Agent Managers dashboard, if the FglAM servers are cloned virtual machines.
Workaround 2:
Workaround 3: If you have cloned the servers, do not start up the FglAM. Set system.id.enabled = false for all FglAM instances in the <fglam_home>/state/<state_name>/config/client.config file, and then start the FglAM for the first time. |
FAM-6934 |
Agent is not listed under "agents" property of FglAMClientInstance or Host object after moved. |
FAM-6688 |
Support is required for installing and running Agent Manager on a system with SELinux enabled. |
FAM-6439 |
Upgrades from 5.7.4 to 5.8.1 or 5.8.2 may result in an error during the upgrade process. Workaround: If you are currently running a 5.7.4 install and you want to upgrade, then you must upgrade to version 5.8.5 or later. |
FAM-5854 |
Foglight Log Monitor does not support UNC (Universal Naming Convention) paths. Workaround: The following workaround applies when monitoring local log files. Monitoring remote log files is not supported.
|
FAM-5832 |
Installing and configuring multiple Foglight Agent Manager instances on a single physical host can cause some topology churn in the Host model representing the Agent Manager. Workaround: By default, the Agent Manager submits performance metrics about itself. If multiple Agent Manager instances are running on the same physical host, disable the performance monitoring self-metric submission for each Agent Manager Instance by completing the following steps:
Additionally, an Agent that submits a Host object representing the monitoring host (for example, an Agent Manager instance that is running and hosting an agent instance) as part of its monitored collection causes a Host topology churn when these agent types are deployed to additional Agent Manager instances running on the same physical host. |
FAM-5600 |
The Agent Manager vm.config file migration fails under multi-state installs. Workaround: The legacy vm.config file is replaced with two new configuration files: client.config and baseline.jvmargs.config. Locate these files within the upgraded Agent Manager state instance. As these file instances may already contain transferred values from the legacy vm.config, review each of the settings in both of these files in order to ensure that these configuration options apply to the Agent Manager state instance that they are being copied into.
|
FAM-5355 |
OutOfMemoryError: The Agent Manager cannot create new native thread. It shuts down when the open file descriptor limit is too low. |
FAM-5264 |
The Agent Manager running on Solaris may fail to run local or external commands during startup or through the SSHLocalConnectionImpl class. |
FAM-4955 |
Parentheses can cause a command execution to fail while using a LocalWindowsCommandShell connection. Workaround: If parentheses are used for grouping commands (and not in an echo context), use spaces to separate them from the other tokens in the command. For example, instead of this command: if 3 gtr 2 (echo "3>2") else (echo "3 leq 2") Use the following: if 3 gtr 2 ( echo "3>2" ) else ( echo "3 leq 2" ) |
FAM-2850 |
Slave processes exist for all installed out-of-process (OOP) agent packages, even if no agent instances are running. Workaround: OOP packages which are not running any agent instances may be un-deployed from the Agent Manager. Currently, this is only possible using a manual procedure. |
FAM-1972 |
The deployed agent scratch directory created for JFogbank-type agents is not deleted during an upgrade. Workaround: The orphaned directory is benign, and can be manually deleted after the upgrade is complete. |
The following is a list of third-party issues known to exist at the time of this release.

FOG-330 |
Get AccessControlException when executing HTTP requests in multi-thread tasks in the latest FglAM version. |
The 5.9.8 Foglight Agent Manager cartridge requires Foglight Management Server 5.9.2 or later. The cartridge is compatible with all previously released versions of the Agent Manager client application.
Agent Manager upgrades from a 5.5.4.x legacy release require an intermediary upgrade to 5.6.7 prior to upgrading to 5.8.5 or later. To complete this intermediary upgrade, install one or more of the Agent Manager 5.6.7 platform-specific cartridges (as required), and upgrade the legacy hosts to this release before deploying the 5.9.8 Agent Manager cartridge or upgrading the Foglight Management Server to version 5.9.2 or later. After all of the legacy hosts are running version 5.6.7, and the Foglight Management Server is upgraded to version 5.9.2 or later, you can start upgrading your hosts to version 5.9.8.
The following is a list of Foglight product versions and platforms compatible in this release.
Product Name |
Product Version |
Platform |
Foglight Management Server | 5.9.2 and later | All platforms supported by these versions of the Foglight Management Server |
Foglight Agent Manager Development Kit | 5.9.8 | All platforms supported by these versions of the Foglight Agent Manager Development Kit |
For more information about upgrading the Management Server and the Agent Manager, see the Foglight Upgrade Guide.
When upgrading external Agent Manager, if the new Agent Manager uses a higher version JRE than the old Agent Manager, the JRE trust store (caserts) in the old Agent Manager will be replaced by the new trust store from the higher version JRE. This will cause all the custom certificates imported to the old JRE trust store by customers get lost after the Agent Manager upgrade.
To keep the custom certificates, you need to back up the old JRE trust store before upgrading external Agent Manager, by following below steps:
As for the embedded Agent Manager, it uses the same JRE as the Management Server. If there are custom certificates stored in JRE trust store and a higher JRE version is used, back up the JRE cacert trust store used by the Management Server before upgrading Management Server.
Note: if the new JRE trust store has different entries than the old JRE trust store, there is a risk that these entries would get lost after replacing with the old JRE trust store.
Below is a list of JRE versions used by Agent Manager on various platforms in this release.
