Creating Veeam Agent

The Veeam Agents collect data from your Veeam infrastructure and sends it to the Veeam Backup Server. The agents keep track of resource utilization metrics and alerts you when certain pre-defined thresholds are reached.

Syntax Conventions

In order to successfully make use of the Foglight commands in your monitoring environment, review the syntax conventions before getting started. The syntax conventions are as follows:

•
Generic examples follow the UNIX path structure that uses forward slashes '/' to separate directories.
•
Platform-specific examples follow standard platform conventions. For example, UNIX-specific examples use forward slashes ‘/’ as directory delimiters, while Windows examples use backslashes ‘\’.
•
<foglight_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Management Server installation.
•
<foglight_agent_mgr_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation. This can be the location of the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host, or the home directory of the Foglight Agent Manager that comes embedded with the Foglight Management Server. For example:
Path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host (Windows):
C:\Quest\Foglight_Agent_Manager
Path to the embedded Foglight Agent Manager installation (Windows):
C:\Quest\Foglight\fglam
•
Unless otherwise specified, Foglight commands are case-sensitive.
