Welcome to Foglight for Infrastructure

Welcome to Foglight for Infrastructure

Foglight® for Infrastructure provides the ability to monitor an infrastructure environment and to analyze performance issues affecting various host systems. It provides system agents for local and remote monitoring of Windows® and UNIX® (including Linux®) hosts. The cartridge can be used - by itself - to monitor physical hosts, or - in combination with other agents - to monitor virtual hosts. The cartridge provides a service-based dashboard for easy monitoring and for quick access to relevant frequently-asked questions.  

These Release Notes cover the resolved issues, known issues, workarounds, and other important information about the 5.9.3 release of Foglight for Infrastructure. Review all sections before starting the installation.
