The Agent Manager supports the SSH (secure shell) protocol for remote monitoring of hosts running Linux® and UNIX® operating systems. SSH is a protocol which encrypts all traffic between the client and the server, and supports a wide variety of secure authentication mechanisms. SSH is available for installation on all platforms supported for remote monitoring by Foglight.
As described in Installing the Agent Manager using the installer interface and Installing the Agent Manager from the command line , you can install an init.d-style script called quest-fglam in the init.d directory on your system. This script is called when the host on which the Agent Manager is installed starts or shuts down, allowing it to run as a daemon.
Even if you choose not to install the init.d script during the installation, or if you do not perform the installation as the root user, the installer generates scripts that can perform the necessary setup.
These scripts are fglam-init-script-installer.sh and fglam-init-script.sh, and they are located in the <fglam_home>/state/default/ directory.
The script fglam-init-script-installer.sh installs the script fglam-init-script.sh into your system’s init.d directory as quest-fglam. Your system’s init.d process then uses quest-fglam to run the Agent Manager as a daemon.

Launch a command shell on the Agent Manager machine and navigate to the <fglam_home>/state/default/ directory. |
2 |
Optional. If you want to make any edits to fglam-init-script.sh to customize it for your system, do so prior to running fglam-init-script-installer.sh. |
IMPORTANT: Any customizations that you make to the script fglam-init-script.sh are not supported by Quest Software Inc.. |

IMPORTANT: This script must be run as root. |

To remove the init.d script, follow the instructions in To remove the init.d script used to run the Agent Manager as a daemon on UNIX®: .
Depending on the operating system you are running, the init.d-style script quest-fglam is installed to a different location either by the Agent Manager installer or after you run the script fglam-init-script-installer.sh.
The locations of the installed init.d script (listed by operating system) are as follows:
• |
• |
• |
HP-UX: /sbin/init.d |
• |
NOTE: The location of the init.d script depends only on the type of operating system, not on the specific architecture. For example, the location is the same for HP-UX running on either PA‑RISC or Itanium, or for Oracle Solaris® running on either SPARC or x86. |
