Foglight 7.3.0 - Security and Compliance Guide

Communication between Management Server and XML over HTTP(S) agents

The XML over HTTP(S) protocol is another low-level method for submitting data to the Management Server. TLS is supported for the XML over HTTP protocol in the default server configuration. An agent using this protocol simply needs to use the HTTPS server port (8443) to open secure connections.

Communication between Management Server and repository database

The Foglight® repository database may be installed either on the same or separate server as the Management Server. Data is transmitted using the database communication protocol (of MySQLTM, Oracle®, or SQL Server®) between the Management Server and the repository database. The communication channel can be secured with TLS where supported by the database.
