Foglight APM templates require VMware® vSphere® running on the ESXi® hypervisor architecture. For supported VMware versions, see the Foglight APM Release Notes.
The procedures in this section assume that you are managing your environment using vCenter® Server.
Foglight APM templates create a virtual device running under Suse Linux® Enterprise 11 (64-bit). The following templates are available, where x.x.x is the version number. For details about the virtual devices created by the templates, such as number of vCPUs and amount of RAM, see the Foglight APM Release Notes.

The installation diagrams showed port groups configured on the virtual switch that connects to the virtual network. The following table summarizes the required port groups and tells you whether you need to create the port group before you map to it. The purpose for each port group is elaborated below the table. For instructions on how to create these port groups, see Creating port groups on virtual switches.

Connects Sniffers to monitor live web traffic occurring on your virtual network. |
Sniffers capture and decrypt web traffic and send the data in packets to Archivers for further analysis and storage. You need to isolate this transfer process from the rest of your traffic, both to maintain a high-level of component performance and to avoid monitoring the sent packets. When Sniffers and Archivers are on different hosts, you create and map a Capture Network port group for this purpose. For more information about how Sniffers and Archivers work, see Software components.
