Foglight 5.9.8 - System Requirements and Platform Support Guide

Multi-tier hardware requirements

To install Foglight® in a multi-tier configuration, you must have separate hardware for each of the Management Server (JVM) and database repository. The requirements are listed below.

Agent Manager resource requirements

Foglight® Agent Manager uses minimal system resources, whether running on a monitored host or monitoring remotely. The amount used depends on a variety of factors including the number of agents running on the monitored host, the amount of data being collected, and whether the Management Server is running.

CAUTION: This section is intended to provide general information that is applicable to most Foglight installations. You should not consider doing a production implementation without conducting a proper scoping and sizing exercise with a qualified Quest representative.

The following table lists the system resources typically used by the Agent Manager while it is running.

Supported platforms

This chapter lists the platforms supported for the Foglight® Management Server and database repository, for the Foglight Agent Manager, and for the Operating System cartridge. It also lists the requirements for other software used with Foglight.
