Foglight for Databases 6.3.0 - User Guide

Attaching Targets to Templates

Alarm template targets are infrastructure objects monitored by Foglight. By default, every target is monitored by the factory template. To change the alarm rules monitoring a target or set of targets, you can attach those targets to a different alarm template.

To attach a target to a template:
1
In the template panel, click on the template you wish to add targets to. The template will be displayed, with the alarms grouped by domain.
2
Click the desired domain. Click Targets.
3
Click Add Target. A list of available targets for that domain will be displayed.
4
For larger environments, the list of available targets will be quite large. Use the options below to find your desired targets more easily:
•
Filter by type - Some domains offer the ability to filter targets by type. While the specific target types available differ by domain, the method to select a target type is the same. To filter by target type, click the Type drop-down and select the desired target type. Only targets of that type will be displayed.
•
Search - You may use the search function to filter targets to show only targets matching the search string. When searching for targets, Foglight will display matches for the search term in any field (Target, Current alarm template, Type, and Host).
5
Select the desired targets. Click Add Selected Target(s).
For database targets, adding a target to a template will also assign that template to the selected agent in Databases > Alarms> Alarm Template Settings.

Removing Targets from a template

Targets can only be attached to one template. To delete a template or assign a target to a new template, you must first remove it from its current template.

Once a target is removed from a template, it will be monitored according to the rules of the domain default template. If the removed target has a parent object, and that parent object is assigned to a template, then the removed target will be monitored according to the parent object’s template.

 

 

To remove a target from a template:
1
In the template panel, click on the template you wish to add targets to. The template will be displayed, with the alarms grouped by domain.
2
Click the desired domain. Click Targets.
3
Select the target(s) to be removed.
4
Click Remove All to remove all selected targets, or click the trash can icon to remove one target at a time.

Deleting a template

To delete a template:
1
In the templates panel, hover over the template to be deleted The more actions icon will appear. Click to view the available actions.
2
Click Delete.
3
A confirmation dialog is displayed.Click Delete.
If targets are assigned to the template, an error will be displayed. If no targets are assigned, the template will be deleted.

 

Monitoring Your Domains

In Foglight, domains are monitored components grouped together by a common technology. For example, operating systems are grouped together in the Infrastructure domain and application servers are part of the Custom Applications domain. Domains represent parts of your environment that you are interested in monitoring.

Each technology type is considered a subdomain. For example, each type of operating system in the Infrastructure domain is a subdomain.

Use the Domains dashboard to monitor your environment if you are a domain Administrator or simply prefer to think of your environment in terms of domain groups. This dashboard allows you to obtain a high-level view of the state of your monitored domains and investigate problems in a particular domain. It also shows you what domains you are not monitoring, but could be.

TIP: You can also access the Domains dashboard from the navigation panel: select Homes > Domains.
