Foglight Lockboxes and Credentials
Foglight provides intuitive dashboards with which to manage your lockboxes and credentials. To access these dashboards, on the navigation panel, click Dashboards > Administration > Credentials.
The appropriate lockboxes must be in place before you create credentials. The Manage Lockboxes dashboard displays a list of all lockboxes that are defined on the server, in addition to the System lockbox that is included with the Management Server.

Exploring the OpenStack Environment Monitoring tab
The OpenStack Environment Monitoring tab contains tiles which represent the various configured resource objects found in the OpenStack infrastructure.
For each resource object type (Regions, Availability Zones, Host Aggregates, Hosts, Volumes, and Instances) the default view when clicking a tile is all objects, such as All Hosts. This view can be seen in the object list view in the left frame of the Quick View with top resource consumers in the group in the right frame.
The four embedded views in the right frame display graphs and tables showing the following:
|
• |
Top CPU Consumers — those members with the highest average CPU utilization. |
|
• |
Top Memory Consumers — those members with the highest memory utilization. |
|
• |
Top Network Consumers — those members consuming most network bandwidth. |
|
• |
Top Disk Consumers — those members with the highest average disk utilization. |
An embedded Alarms view displays a list of alarms and when they were raised.
