Foglight settings

Foglight can run with its default settings. Edit these settings if you need to change run-time parameters such as settings for running the Management Server in High Availability (HA) mode or the ports that the Management Server uses. Many Foglight settings can be changed by editing the file <foglight_home>/config/server.config, which contains settings.

 
* 
NOTE: In certain configurations the Management Server may use ports in addition to the ones that you set using server.config; for example, when Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for details.

Editing the server.config file

Editing the server.config file

The <foglight_home>/config/server.config file contains parameters for port settings, virtual memory, command-line options, and server federation. You can edit the file using a text editor. Values within quotation marks can be edited.

Enabling High Availability mode after installation

If you want to run Foglight in High Availability (HA) mode but did not select this option during installation, you can enable HA mode after installation by editing the file server.config. For more information, see the Foglight High Availability Field Guide.

Changing external database credentials

Use the following method to reconfigure Foglight to start up with a new database password. The password can be updated in the server.config file.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not use “<“ and “>” in your password, for example jo<anne>123. These characters corrupt the XML in the server.config file, causing Foglight to fail to start successfully.
To encrypt your database password using the keyman command:
1
Specify the following from the command line:
> bin/keyman -d [FGLHOME/config] encpwd "<new password>" foglight.defaultkey
The encrypted password appears.
2
Open the server.config file.
3
Replace the existing database password with the new encrypted database password on the following line:
server.database.password = "q4056753111e8a24c9a722048fc6df1f0"
4
Restart the Management Server.
