Foglight 6.1.0 - Administration and Configuration Guide

Viewing Configuration Details

Foglight® configuration settings include the basic environment parameters for host and port settings, virtual memory, server federation, and many others. Other types of settings reflect the version and patch level of various components such as the Management Server, WCF, and JVM versions; these settings cannot be changed unless you choose to upgrade to a later version of Foglight. More display-only settings indicate the OS of the computer on which the Management Server is installed, and its patch level.

The configuration values are set in the server.config file and the Foglight registry. For example, the database settings are typically set in server.config, while global email settings are specified in the Foglight registry. Editing the configuration file requires a restart of the Management Server in order for these changes to take effect. Changes to the Foglight registry do not require a system restart.

Foglight configuration settings can be viewed using the Management Server Configuration dashboard. To access this dashboard, from the navigation panel, click Dashboards > Administration > Setup > Management Server Configuration.

Enabling Usage Feedback

The Foglight® Management Server can collect usage data about your environment and send it to Quest to improve support response. This data helps with identifying potential bottlenecks, improving the overall Management Server performance and server versions going forward.

The collected usage data contains information about the visited dashboards, unique ID of management server, server version, along with configuration details. It does not identify any users or provide additional information about their actions in the user interface. For additional information about the overall protection of user-related data, see the Security and Compliance Guide.

This feature may be enabled by default. To turn it off, click Disable on the Automatic Communication with Quest dashboard. To access this dashboard, from the Administration dashboard, in the Support column, click Support Notifications.

Setting up Proxy Configuration

The Foglight Management Server often reside behind a firewall in some production environments, therefore some Foglight functionalities, for example License Entitlement, do not work within these environments. Foglight provides a new Proxy Configuration feature, which enables the Foglight Management Server to connect to QorePortal and collect Foglight usage data through the preconfigured proxy server.

This feature may be disabled by default. To turn it on, click Enable on the Proxy Configuration dashboard. To access this dashboard, from the Administration dashboard, in the Administer Server column, click Proxy.

Enabling Automatic Communication with Quest

The Foglight® Management Server can communicate with Foglight to check for important updates and to send usage data to Quest. Enabling this setting also allows usage data to be sent to Quest including visited dashboards, unique ID of Management Server, Server version and configuration details. This information is then displayed on the Automatic Communication with Quest dashboard or can be viewed in a popup by hovering over the Update link on the Administration page.

When this setting is enabled, you will receive messages:

Notifications are sent to users with the Administrator role. By default, this feature is turned on. To turn it off, from the Automatic Communication with Quest dashboard, click Disable next to the Communication with Foglight.com to part. To access the Automatic Communication with Quest dashboard, from the Administration dashboard, in the Support column, click Support Notifications.

The Foglight Management Server also integrates with the Quest QorePortal that enables access to your Foglight installation from any Internet enabled device.
