FGL-19283

When upgrading the Management Server from 5.7.5.8 to 5.9.x, unexpected CartridgeDeploymentException shows in the log file.

Workaround: This exception only occurs in environments with those cartridges which define Java Archive or JBoss Artifacts component, like Integration and IntelliProfile cartridges. JBoss Server has been removed from the Management Server 5.9.x. As a result, JBossDeploymentHandler, which was used to handle above components, has also been removed from the Management Server 5.9.2 or later. If you encounter this issue, you could ignore it as this exception does not impact upgrade of the Management Server and relevant cartridges.

Workaround: Edit the list of ciphers by completing the following steps:

1. Open the following file for editing:

   • Releases prior to 5.7.1: <FMS_HOME>/server/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server_https.xml

   • 5.7.1 release and later: <FMS_HOME>/server/tomcat/server.xml

2. In this file, specify a list of ciphers in the ciphers attribute of the secure connector:
   
   <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" URIEncoding="UTF-8" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" clientAuth="false" keystoreFile="../../config/tomcat.keystore" keystorePass="nitrogen" sslProtocol="TLS" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1" bindOnInit="false" ciphers="COMMA_SEPARATED_LIST_OF_CIPHERS"/>

FGLUI-10788

When editing secondary agent property tables from either the Agent Status or Agent Properties dashboards, performing Add and Delete operations at the same time results in all Added items being deleted.
Workaround: Add items to the table, save them, and close the popup window, then edit the secondary property again and delete the rows that need to be deleted. Finally, save and close the popup window. This ensures that the added items remain.

When using a Federation Master that is a newer version than the Federated Child, it is possible to get warnings about missing metrics. This occurs when new metrics have been added to the Federation Master's version. The warnings indicate that the Federated Child does not provide these metrics, and they will cease when the Federated Child is upgraded to the same version as the Federation Master.

FGLUI-7817

When editing secondary agent property lists, the Delete Selected Row(s) button marks the rows to be deleted by graying them out. Save changes must be selected to delete the selected rows. If a required field is blank, then a value must be entered before the row can be marked for deletion.

FGLUI-7593

When reviewing Alarms on a Federation Master, you are able to open a link to view the rule that fired the alarm on the Federated Child. This involves opening the console of the Federated Child. If the Federated Child is of an older version than the Federation Master, an error page is displayed.

FGLUI-7377

Under rare conditions, if the session is allowed to expire while viewing some of the views in the Administration dashboard, the process of logging in again displays the Administration view without any decoration around the side panels.

Workaround: To clear this condition, close the browser. Do not save your session if the browser prompts you to save the last session configuration. Instead, start the browser and log in again.

FGLUI-7356

FGLUI-6874

If a Federation Master Server connects an older version Federated Child, the Federated Child may have some of the objects that are no longer associated with the Management Server Performance Report and Foglight Server Diagnostic views on the Federation Master. This results in some data about the Federated Child being unavailable to this report and views.
Workaround: Go to the Federated Child to view detailed information.

Foglight 4 Tabular views generate an error when the time range has "Auto" granularity.

FGLUI-3509

The edit rule definition for an alarm from a Federated Child brings up a page for editing a rule on the Federation Master, rather than for the rule that triggered the alarm. This occurs because it is not possible to perform administration from the Federation Master.

FGLUI-3440

When the user pastes data using right-click > Paste to a box that automatically updates itself (for example, the edit agent properties screen), the user interface does not automatically refresh itself.
Workaround: After pasting into an Agent Properties text field, press the Spacebar > Backspace, and click the Save button.
