Foglight Capacity Director 5.8.2 - Release Notes

Product licensing

Product licensing

Foglight includes a licensing capability that restricts access to those features that are defined in the license. Any Management Server installation requires a license that grants access to server-specific parts of the browser interface and the features associated with them. Foglight cartridges are also license-protected. While some cartridges are covered by the base Foglight license (such as Foglight Agent Manager cartridges and Foglight for Infrastructure), others may require an additional license.

Foglight Capacity Director is covered by the Foglight Evolve Operate and Flex license.

 

To activate a trial or a purchased commercial license:

  1. On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Setup > Manage Licenses.
  2. Click Install.
  3. In the Install License dialog box, click Browse.
  4. In the file browser that appears, specify the location of the license file.
  5. In the Install License dialog box, click Install License.

Installation instructions

Foglight Capacity Director 5.8.2 comes pre-installed on Foglight Evolve 9.2 or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition 8.9.2.

 

Starting with Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition 8.8, the Capacity Management tab in the VMware environment will be automatically upgraded as a lite version of Foglight Capacity Director. However the previous Capacity Management cartridge is still enabled by default, to ensure that the customized dashboards and reports created based on the previous cartridge are still valid. It is strongly recommended that you use the features and data from the new Foglight Capacity Director to rebuild your previous customized dashboards and reports.

 

Foglight Capacity Director can be installed on the Foglight Management Server versions listed in the Upgrade and Compatibility section.
