Foglight for VMware Horizon View 5.8.3 - User Guide

Manage desktops in virtual environments Interact with Foglight for VMware Horizon View dashboards Reference

Tasks area

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

Discover View Instances. Starts a workflow for detecting the agent information during creation. This information is detected by a Discovery Agent. This agent is responsible for gathering the server inventory information that is available for use by a View Connection Server Agent. For more information, see Discover View instances.
Manually Add View Instances. Starts a workflow for creating new agent instances. This workflow requires you to know the Connection Server and other domain-related details. For more information, see Manually add View instances.

Agents view

The Agents view shows a list of existing agent instances and a set of agent management buttons at the top of the list. The following buttons are available:

Add. Starts a workflow for creating new agent instances. This workflow is the same as clicking the Manually add View instances link in the Tasks area.
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 a Connection 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 Connection Server.
Remove. Deletes the selected agent instance.
Update Agent. Upgrades the agent to a new version, after a new cartridge is installed.
NOTE: When a newer Foglight for VMware Horizon View version is installed on your system, the Agent Version column in the Agents table is updated to read Update Agent. To apply the new features, you need to update the agents to the latest version. You can upgrade the agents one by one, by selecting each from the table and clicking the corresponding Update Agent link in the Agent version column; you can upgrade all agents at once by selecting all of them in the list and clicking the Update Agent button at the top of the list.
Add Host Agents. Starts a workflow for adding Infrastructure agents to monitor your VMware Horizon View environment. For more information, see Add Host Agents.

The table in the Agents area lists the existing View Connection Server Agent instances. For more details about the data appearing in this table, see Agents view.

The Download Log button offers a convenient way to get the current log file of the corresponding agent, for review and diagnostics.

Manually add View instances

Foglight for VMware Horizon View uses View Connection Server Agents to collect information from monitored environments. Creating a View Connection Server Agent instance creates the agent process on the Agent Manager host. Activating the View Connection Server Agent starts that agent process, while starting an agent instance’s data collection enables the agent to start collecting data from the monitored View Connection Server and send it to Foglight for Hyper-V.

When the View Connection Server Agent package is successfully deployed, create one or more agent instances, activate them, and start their data collection. To perform these steps in a single operation for one or more monitored hosts, follow the procedure outlined below.
