Cartridge Inventory and Components for Download

The Cartridge Inventory dashboard lists the cartridge that exist in your system and contains controls for installing, enabling, disabling, and uninstalling cartridges.

Installation is the first step in adding a cartridge to the Foglight Management Server. A cartridge file has the extension.car. Installing the CAR file causes the Management Server to be aware of all cartridges in the CAR file.

Use the Cartridge Inventory dashboard to install a cartridge. Alternatively, use the cartridge:install command. This fglcmd command allows you to install one or more cartridges at a time. For more information, see the Command-Line Reference Guide.

Some Foglight cartridges are license-protected, while others do not require a license. You can install any cartridges, regardless of their license requirements. However, installing a license-protected cartridge without adding its license results in that cartridge being disabled by default. For more information, see Managing Licenses.

A cartridge must also be enabled before it is added to the Management Server. You can enable a cartridge before or after its installation.

TIP: To view only cartridges which are enabled, click the View only Enabled Cartridges check box at the bottom of the screen. In addition, you can sort by the Version and Creation Date columns.
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Cartridges > Cartridge Inventory.

In the Install Cartridge dialog box, click Browse, and navigate to the cartridge file that you want to install.
4
Ensure that the Enable on install check box is selected.

Click Install Cartridge.
In addition to the message in the top-right corner, the Operation(s) Complete message box opens, indicating a success.
In addition to the message in the top-right corner, the Operation(s) Complete message box opens, providing more information about the failure.
6
Click OK to close the Operation(s) Complete message box.
The Status column contains icons that indicate if a cartridge is enabled , enabled pending dependency , partially enabled , or disabled .
8
License-protected cartridges only. Install the cartridge license.

Enabling a cartridge completes the process of adding it to Foglight by making the cartridge’s components available for use by the Foglight Management Server.

Disabling a cartridge causes its components to no longer be available for use by the Foglight Management Server. A disabled cartridge remains installed on the Management Server. For example, Foglight automatically disables older versions of cartridges when newer versions are installed.

A cartridge can be in one of the following states:

You can install any cartridge, regardless of the contents of your Foglight license. Installing a license-protected cartridge without adding its license results in that cartridge being disabled by default. Before enabling a license-protected cartridge, ensure that its license is installed and current. For more information, see Managing Licenses.

When you install a newer version of an existing cartridge, Foglight detects that, and automatically disables the older version.

Uninstalling a cartridge removes the cartridge files from the Foglight Management Server installation.

A .car file can contain multiple cartridges. When you remove all of the cartridges that come in a .car file, the .car file is deleted.

Before removing a cartridge, make sure that the cartridge is disabled, and that any agent instances that come with the cartridge do not collect data. Uninstalling a cartridge while its agents are still collecting data prevents the Foglight Management Server from recognizing the data that the agents collect. For more information about disabling a cartridge, see Enable or disable Foglight cartridges.
