Administration area

The Administration area contains links to administrative tasks that you can initiate from this tab:

•
Rule Configurations: Sets the level of alarms that the system generates, stores, and displays. For more information, see Setting the alarm sensitivity level.
•
Agents: Review existing Hyper-V/SOFS/SCVMM object instances. For more information, see Agents view commands.
•
Advanced Options: Review and delete Hyper-V object instances that are no longer needed. For more information, see Reviewing object instances and deleting expired data.

Agents view commands

The Agents view shows a list of existing agent instances and a set of agent management commands at the top of the list. Use it to verify that your agents are collecting data from the monitored environment.

The following commands are available:

•
Add: Starts a workflow for creating new agent instances. For more information, see Configuring monitoring agents.
•
Refresh: Refreshes the list of agent instances and their states.
•
Activate: Activates one or more selected agent instances. Activating an agent instance starts the agent process on the machine on which the agent is installed.
•
Deactivate: Deactivates one or more selected agent instances. Deactivating an agent stops the agent process on the machine on which the agent is installed.
•
Start Data Collection: Starts the data collection for one or more selected agent instances. Starting an agent’s data collection causes the agent to begin monitoring the Hyper-V server and to send the collected metrics back to the Management Server.
•
Stop Data Collection: Stops the data collection for one or more selected agent instances. Stopping an agent’s data collection causes the agent to stop monitoring the Hyper-V server.
•
Edit Properties: Starts a workflow for editing the properties of one or more selected agent instances. Each agent comes with a set of properties that it uses to configure its correct running state. For more information, see Configuring agent properties.
•
Remove: Deletes the selected agent instance.
•
Update Agent: Updates the agent package to the latest version. For more information, see the Installing and Configuring Foglight for Storage Management Guide.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Updating the agent package using this command generates the previously existing credentials. However, if you update the agent package by re-deploying its .gar file through the Agent Status page, the credentials need to be re-created. To do that, select an agent instance, click Edit Properties, and configure the required credentials on the Credentials tab of the Edit Tab Manager dialog box.
Figure 2. Edit Tab Manager dialog box

To perform any of the available commands, select one or more check boxes in the left-most column and click the appropriate button. For example, to start an agent’s data collection, select the check box in the agent row and click Start Data Collection.

Agent tabs

The Agents area contains three tabs: Hyper-V Agents, SCVMM Agents, and SOFS Agents. Each tab displays a list of the existing Hyper-V, SCVMM, or SOFS Agent instances and shows their status. Use it to verify if your agents are collecting data from the monitored environment.
