Inspect agent prerequisites

If any monitoring agents are unable to collect data or connect to the monitored Domain Controllers, you can inspect the underlying cause using the Prerequisites Diagnostic button on the Agent Management toolbar.

To examine agent prerequisites:
1
In the Agent Management view, select the row containing the agent whose prerequisites you want to examine, and click Prerequisites Diagnostic on the toolbar.
2
Review the results in the Prerequisites Diagnostic dialog box.
•
Agent Name: The name of the selected Active Directory agent instance.

•
Diagnostic Result:
•
Success: The agent instance can connect to the monitored Domain Controller and collect data.
•
Error: The agent instance cannot connect to the monitored Domain Controller and collect data. Click this link to find out what causes this error. Carefully review the information in the popup that appears in order address the problem.

Active Directory agent properties

The primary properties for an Active Directory® agent instance are required to connect to the target server from which data is to be collected. These properties are either specified when the agent instance is configured or they have a pre-defined default value.

To display an agent’s properties page, use one of the following methods:

•
From the navigation panel, navigate to Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Properties. On the Agent Properties dashboard, select an agent. The Properties panel is displayed, showing the current properties for the selected agent instance.
•
From the navigation panel, navigate to Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Status. On the Agent Status dashboard, select an agent from the list and click Edit > Edit Properties. The Agent Status dashboard refreshes, showing the current properties for the selected agent instance.
Figure 18. Agent properties page

For more information on using the Agent Status dashboard to edit agent properties, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.

The following tables describe the properties that can be modified for either an individual or all Active Directory agent instances, by clicking Modify the private properties for this agent or Modify the properties of all ActiveDirectory agents links, respectively.

 
* 
NOTE: It is recommended to configure the agent properties that are to be applied globally to the majority of the Active Directory agent instances, then modify the private properties of those individual agents, as required.

Data Collection Scheduler

Configuration

Use the properties in the Configuration panel to specify the target server from which data is to be collected, to define what cartridge is to be used to collect the host metrics, and specify whether the target server is a virtual machine.

 
* 
NOTE: The properties defined here apply to either a single Active Directory® agent or all agents with the type of ActiveDirectory, based on the option selected at the top of the agent properties page.
 
Table 10. Configuration panel
Property
Default
Description

Host Name

N/A

The fully qualified domain name (myServer.myDomain.com) of the target server from which data is to be collected.

Host Collector

 

The host metrics (CPU, Memory, Network, Storage) displayed in Foglight for Active Directory can be collected by the Foglight for Active Directory, Foglight for Hyper-V, Foglight for VMware, or Foglight for Infrastructure cartridge.

NOTE: If you have Foglight for Hyper-V or Foglight for VMWare installed, it is best to select the corresponding option and use the metrics collected by that cartridge.
NOTE: If you are collecting host metrics on a virtual machine using Foglight for Active Directory, performance counters may be subject to known inconsistencies because in-guest performance counters can be skewed by virtualization. To collect the most accurate host metrics on a virtual machine, use Foglight for VMWare or Foglight for Hyper-V to collect these metrics.

Select the host collector to be used to collect host metrics:

•
AD (included) - if selected, all host collections are collected based on the interval set in the collection schedule.
•
Hyper-V (must be installed) - if selected, the logical disk space metrics are collected based on the interval set in the collection schedule; all other host metrics are collected based on the settings in the Foglight for Hyper-V cartridge. The “Memory In Use” is not available and will be blank in this configuration.
•
VMWare (must be installed) - if selected, the host collections are skipped regardless of the value in the collection schedule. That is, all host collections are collected based on the settings in the Foglight for VMWare cartridge.
•
Infrastructure (must be installed) - if selected, the host collections are skipped regardless of the value in the collection schedule. That is, all host collections are collected based on the settings in the Foglight for Infrastructure cartridge.

Communication Protocol

WinRM Through HTTPS

Selects to run the WMI query through DCOM, WinRM Through HTTP, or WinRM Through HTTPS.

WinRM Port

5986

Determines the WinRM port number in the monitored server.

Enable SSL For LDAP

False

Enables/ disables security LDAP connection.

LDAP Authentication Scheme

Basic

Supports both Basic and Kerberos authentication schemes, when connected to LDAP server.

Activate adobjects Collector

True

Turns on/ off the adobjects (user count, groups count, computer count) collection. In one domain, it only needs one agent to collect such information.

Network Connection TimeOut

51,000

Specifies how long (milliseconds) the system waits for a response from the remote server before it times out. That is, this is the time in milliseconds that a data collection query will run before it is presumed to have failed and the network connection is terminated.

Monitor

The selection made in the Monitor panel of the properties page defines the services that are to be monitored by the selected agent(s).

 
* 
NOTE: The setting in this section is global and applies to all agents with the type of ActiveDirectory.

The services monitored by default are:

•
DFSR
•
NtFrs
•
W32Time
•
Netlogon
•
SamSs
•
kdc
•
Dnscache
•
IsmServ
•
RpcSs
•
DNS
•
Winmgmt
•
LanmanServer
•
