The components described in the preceding sections combine to compose Foglight (as shown in Figure 3).
Users interact with the Management Server and the data collected by the agents through dashboards in the Foglight browser interface, which is built on the Web Component Framework. See the Web Component Guide for more information about the framework and browser interface.

The Foglight documentation suite includes a multi-guide Installation and Setup Guide set. Throughout this guide, instructions direct you to the Installation and Setup Guide where the same type of information exists in all guides in the set. In these cases, see the Installation and Setup Guide for the database and platform you are running. When information exists only in certain guides, those guides are referred to by name or type.
Before installing Foglight, review the System Requirements and Platform Support Guide, and “Before installing Foglight” and “Preparing to install” in your Installation and Setup Guide.

If you want to set up an encrypted connection to an external database, see “Setting up an encrypted database connection” in the Installation and Setup Guide for your platform and external database. |
Before you begin: For instructions to migrate from using an embedded PostgreSQL® database with the Management Server to using an external PostgreSQL database, see “Appendix: Switching from an Embedded to an External Database” in the Foglight Installation and Setup Guide (for UNIX® or Windows® systems with Embedded PostgreSQL Database).
