Foglight for Hyper-V 5.8.3 - Installation Guide

Setting the agent properties

The Hyper-V and SCVMM Agents collect data from your virtual infrastructure and sends it to the Management Server. The agents keep track of resource utilization metrics and alerts you when certain pre-defined thresholds are reached.

When an agent connects to Foglight Management Server, it is provided with sets of properties that it uses to configure its correct running state. Each agent is provided with a combination of two types of properties: agent properties and shareable properties.

Default versions of these properties are installed with Foglight™ for Hyper-V. However, you can edit the default shareable and agent properties, configure agent properties that apply only to a specific agent instance, and create edited clones of shareable properties that are used by a subset of agents of a certain type.

There are two ways to access the Hyper-V and SCVMM Agent properties:

•
On the Hyper-V Environment dashboard, on the Administration tab, select an agent instance and click Edit Properties (see Configuring monitoring agents for data collection ). This method only provides access to the Configuration properties, but not the Data Collection Scheduler properties.
•
On the Agent Status dashboard, select an agent instance and click Edit Properties. This method provides access to the full set of Hyper-V Agent properties, and is described in this topic.

For more information about working with agent properties, see the Administration and Configuration Guide.

To modify agent properties:
1
Log in to the Foglight browser interface.
2
Ensure that the navigation panel is open.
To open the navigation panel, click the right-facing arrow on the left.
3
Open the Agent Status dashboard and navigate to the agent properties.
e
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Another way of editing agent properties is through the Agent Properties dashboard. The properties you specify on this dashboard apply to all instances of the selected type. To be certain that you are editing properties for a particular agent instance, without overwriting any properties of other agent instances of the same type, use the Agent Status dashboard instead of the Agent Properties dashboard.
f
On the Agent Status dashboard, select the instance of the Hyper-V or SCVMM Agent whose properties you want to modify and click Edit Properties.
g
Indicate that you want to edit the properties of the selected agent instance.
A list of agent properties appears in the display area.
The position of the Properties pane depends on the dashboard you used to access agent properties. If you used the Agent Properties dashboard, the Properties pane appears to the right of the Namespace > Type pane in the display area. If you used the Agent Status dashboard, the Properties pane appears across the display area.

Setting the Hyper-V Agent Configuration properties

To monitor a desired Hyper-V® server, ensure the Hyper-V Agent’s Configuration properties are set up as required.

Figure 1. Hyper-V Agent Configuration properties

To set the Hyper-V Agent configuration properties:
1
Locate the Hyper-V Agent’s Configuration properties.
2
Set the Configuration properties as follows:
•
Host Name: Type the fully qualified host name of the machine on which the monitored Hyper-V Server is running.
•
Collect CPU metrics: Select this option if you want to collect CPU metrics from the monitored Hyper-V environment.
•
Collect disk metrics: Select this option if you want to collect disk metrics from the monitored Hyper-V environment.
•
Collect memory metrics: Select this option if you want to collect memory metrics from the monitored Hyper-V environment.
•
Collect network metrics: Select this option if you want to collect network metrics from the monitored Hyper-V environment.

To start monitoring for a specific Hyper-V server, use the Hyper-V Agent’s Configuration properties.

Setting the SCVMM Agent Configuration properties

To monitor a desired System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), ensure the SCVMM Agent’s Configuration properties are set up as required.

Figure 2. SCVMM Agent Configuration properties

To set the SCVMM Agent Configuration properties:
1
Locate the SCVMM Agent’s Configuration properties.
2
In the Configuration area, in the SCVMM Host Name box, type the name of the machine on which the Virtual Machine Manager is running.

Setting the SOFS Agent Configuration properties

To monitor a desired Scale-Out File Server (SOFS), ensure the SOFS Agent’s Configuration properties are set up as required.

Figure 3. SOFS Agent Configuration properties

To set the SOFS Agent Configuration properties:
1
Locate the SOFS Agent’s Configuration properties.
2
Set the Configuration properties as follows:
•
Host Name: Type the fully qualified host name of the machine on which the monitored SOFS Server is running.
•
Collect CPU metrics: Select this option if you want to collect CPU metrics from the monitored environment.
•
Collect disk metrics: Select this option if you want to collect disk metrics from the monitored environment.
•
Collect memory metrics: Select this option if you want to collect memory metrics from the monitored environment.
•
Collect network metrics: Select this option if you want to collect network metrics from the monitored environment.
