Managing Request Integration with Foglight Experience Viewer

Foglight Experience Viewer (FxV) is a network appliance that passively monitors real-time network traffic to measure the performance of web-based applications and how that performance impacts the user experience.

The Manage Integration with FxV dashboard allows you to configure the integration of Foglight Experience Viewer with Foglight for Java EE Technologies and Foglight for Microsoft .NET.

Figure 4. Use this dashboard to assign application servers that the FxV monitors

Integrating with Foglight Experience Viewer allows you to associate requests or single trace data to corresponding hits or session data available in FxV.

To assign an application server monitored by Foglight Experience Viewer:

On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Application Servers > Nexus > Administration > Manage Integration with FxV.

On the Manage Integration with FxV dashboard, click Add.

In the FxV Server URL box, type the URL for the FxV server.

For example: http://fxvServer/console/

In the Unassigned Application Servers table, select the server or servers that the specified FxV server monitors and click Add.

Click OK.

The Manage Integration with FxV dashboard refreshes to include your latest additions.

To change which application server is monitored:

In the Manage Integration with FxV table, click the name of the server in the Monitoring Servers column.

To add a server to monitor, in the Unassigned Application Servers table, select a server and click Add.

To remove a server, in the Assigned Application Servers table, select the server and click Remove.

Click OK.

To remove an FxV server integration:

In the Manage Integration with FxV table, under the Remove column, click Remove

for the server you want to remove.

A confirmation message box opens.

Click OK.

Viewing request data in FxV

After the Integration with FxV has been set up, you can run FxV-related actions in the Application Servers Monitor dashboard Requests tab.

To view FxV request data:

On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Application Servers > Monitor.

Click the Requests tile.

Expand the aggregated request type and select an application server request in the Request Types table.

If FxV is also monitoring the selected application server, the Actions menu includes an option: FxV: Search Hits (request type).


	NOTE: This list may vary if additional actions for the Requests have been created using the Application Servers > Administration > Manage Actions dashboard. For more information, see Creating actions.
