Foglight for Hyper-V 5.8.3 - Installation Guide

Installing and enabling Foglight for Hyper-V

Foglight for Hyper-V is distributed in a CAR file, Virtual-HyperV-5_7_3.car. While most of Foglight for Hyper-V components are defined in this file, some of its browser interface elements are defined in two additional CAR files, DRP-5_7_3.car and Virtual-Hyper-V-Admin-5_7_3.car. The cartridge included in the Virtual-Hyper-V-Admin-5_7_3.car file provides access to Hyper-V administrative actions through the Hyper-V Explorer’s Administration tab, when your user account is granted the Hyper-V Automation User role. To enable the Administration tab, install this cartridge on the Management Server. For more information about the Hyper-V Explorer, see the Foglight for Hyper-V User and Reference Guide.

Installing and enabling these cartridges on the Management Server adds the Hyper-V capabilities to your Foglight environment and makes their components available for use. When a cartridge is installed and enabled, all of its components become part of the Management Server.

The following procedure describes the process of installing and enabling the available cartridges using the browser interface. Another way to install and enable cartridges is through the fglcmd command-line interface. For more information about the available fglcmd commands, see the Command-Line Reference Guide.

1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Administration > Cartridges > Cartridge Inventory.
The Install Cartridge dialog box appears.
3
In the Install Cartridge dialog box, click Browse and navigate to the Virtual-HyperV-5_7_3.car file that you want to install.
4
Ensure that the Enable on install check box is selected.
5
Click Install Cartridge.
After a few moments, the Operation(s) Complete message box appears, indicating a success.
6
Click OK to close the Operation(s) Complete message box.
7
Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 to install the DRP cartridge, DRP-5_7_3.car, and Virtual-HyperV-Admin-5_7_3.car (if applicable).

From here, you can proceed to deploying the agent packages.

Deploying agent packages to monitored hosts

Foglight for Hyper-V uses Hyper-V, System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM),and Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) Agent instances to collect information from monitored hosts. Installing and enabling Foglight for Hyper-V on the Management Server makes its agent packagea available for deployment.

Hyper-V, SCVMM,and SOFS Agents use the Agent Manager for communication with the Management Server. Foglight for Hyper-V monitors host machines remotely using the WMI infrastructure. For that reason, the Agent Manager does not need to be installed on each individual host that you want to monitor. It is typically installed on one host; some scenarios may require multiple Agent Manager installations to balance the collection load.

After you have installed the Foglight for Hyper-V, you must deploy the Hyper-V, SCVMM,and SOFS Agent packages to the applicable Agent Manager instances. Deploying the package is only required if you plan to use additional Agent Manager instance.

The following procedure describes the deployment process using the Agent Status dashboard. This administrative dashboard is useful for deploying the agent package one host at a time. Alternatively, for deploying the Hyper-V Agent package to multiple hosts, you can use the Agent Hosts dashboard. For more information, see the Administration and Configuration Guide.

Another way to deploy agent packages is through the fglcmd command-line interface. For more information about the available fglcmd commands, see the Command-Line Reference Guide.

The Deploy Agent Package wizard closes, and the Agent Status dashboard refreshes, showing in the Tasks area that the Deploy Agent Package task is in progress. After a few moments, a green icon appears in the Status column, indicating a successful deployment.

From here, you can proceed to create Hyper-V,SCVMM, and SOFS Agent instances to monitor hosts. For more information, see Configuring monitoring agents for data collection.

Configuring monitoring agents for data collection

Foglight for Hyper-V uses the Hyper-V, SCVMM,and SOFS agents to collect information about your virtual environment:

Hyper-V Agents collect information from monitored Hyper-V servers. A Hyper-V server is a physical component required to begin building a virtual infrastructure. Hyper-V servers provide hypervisor-based architecture for controlling and managing resources for the virtual machines that run on it.
SCVMM Agents collect information from Virtual Machine Managers (VMM). A VMM allows you to manage host, networking and storage resources when creating and deploying virtual machines to virtual clouds.
SOFS Agents collect information from monitored SOFS servers. An SOFS server is a Windows Server cluster with some form of shared storage and provides highly available file-based storage for applications and general use.

When Hyper-V, SCVMM,and SOFS agent packages are successfully deployed, you can create agent instances, activate them and start their data collection. To perform these steps in a single operation for one or more monitored hosts, use the Agents area on the Administration tab.

When you add an agent instance, the agent process is created on the Agent Manager host. Activating the agent instance starts that agent process. When you start an agent’s data collection, the agent process starts collecting data from the monitored host and to sends it to Foglight for Hyper-V.
