Viewing the Databases Dashboard

The Instance home page is opened by accessing the Databases dashboard.

2

The Databases dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of the monitored environment, with all the currently monitored database types.

The Databases dashboard includes these sections:

Status summary — a color-coded bar, which provides a visual representation of the summarized health condition of all instances listed in the Database Group table.
Database-specific health summary — when the database group All is selected, this section displays all the currently monitored instances for each database type, divided by their health state (for example: four SQL Server instances, three of which have the health state Warning and one is indicated with the health state Fatal). When a user-defined database group is selected, this section displays data only about the agents included within the selected group.
The Monitor button — Use this button to add instances to monitor. For details, see Monitoring Data Replication .
The Configure Alarms button — Takes you directly to the Administration > Alarms page. On the Alarms page you can configure alarm settings and specify alarm sensitivity levels. Sensitivity levels control which alarms are enabled by default.
The Settings button — Use this button to do one of the following:
Currently selected database group table — a list of all monitored databases within the database group that is selected in the Databases section. For details, see Currently Selected Database Group .
The Select dashboards () button — provides direct link to several drilldowns and panels, by that means saving the need to navigate to these locations through the Overview drilldown.

Assigning Instances to Users or Groups

The User Level Access screen allows you to assign specific instances to users or groups. When users view their Databases dashboard, they only see the instances assigned to them.

The User Level Access screen displays all users and groups as they appear in the Foglight User & Security dashboard. By default each user is assigned to view All instances monitored in the Foglight Management Server.

1
On the main Database dashboard, click Settings and select User Level Access from the menu.
Manage — allows you to manage which instances or groups to view
All Instances — set the user to view All monitored instances
None — block the user from viewing any monitored instances
4
Select Manage the instances to display the Assign Instances view.
5
Click Set save your choices and exit.

Selecting an Instance to Monitor

Because the Databases dashboard displays by default all the currently monitored databases, customize the dashboard’s view to display only the relevant instances, and then preview such instances to decide which to monitor.

Filter by database type — if multiple database types are being monitored, click the database type tile that represents the requested type (in this case, SQL Server).
Filter by severity — use the status indicators to display only instances of a specific database type that share a specific health state severity. For further details, see Filtering the Display by Severity .
Create user-defined groups — use the Databases area to create groups that contain only the databases that need to be monitored for a specific need. For further details, see Creating Custom Database Groups .
Assign Instances to specific users — When accessing a Database dashboard, non-administrative users view only instances which have been assigned to them. For details, see Assigning Instances to Users or Groups .
4
Click Home Page on the cue card to open a full-screen view of the requested instance.
IMPORTANT: Launching a full-screen view of the requested database by clicking the Home Page link can be carried out only for instances monitored in Foglight for SQL Server mode.

Currently Selected Database Group

This Databases table displays the group that is selected from the available database groups under the Databases section of the navigation pane.

The Databases table contains the following columns:

 

Database

 

Sev

The instance’s highest severity alarm, which determines the instance’s health state.

Name

The name of the instance.

Version

The version number of the instance.

Up Since

The date and time when the instance was last restarted.

Workload

Displays the workload chart for the instance.

DB Alarms

The number of warnings, critical, and fatal alarms for the instance.

Shows the most recent alarms invoked for the specific instance displayed in the row. The alarms are displayed by their severity levels, with the aggregated number for each severity.

Clicking the alarm’s severity icon displays the Alarm pop-up, which provides in-depth information about the alarm, its causes and implications.

System Utilization

 

Host

The name of the computer that hosts the instance.

CPU Load (%)

The overall operating system CPU usage (including CPU usage by the database).

Memory (%)

The percentage, within the total memory, of memory consumed by all operating system processes (including the database). This value includes both RAM resident memory and swapped memory.

Disk (% Busy)

The percentage of time the busiest device spent serving system-wide input and output requests. This metric serves as a measure for the system I/O load.

Monitoring Status

 

Agent

The operational status of the monitoring agent.

When the agent instance is running, hovering over the Stat icon displays the status message Collecting Data.

When the agent instance is running but not collecting data, hovering over the State icon displays one of the following status messages:

OS

The state of OS-related data retrieval by the database cartridge, the Infrastructure cartridge, or both.
