Upgrading Foglight for Hyper-V

Requirements and compatibility

The following components are required to successfully integrate Foglight™ for Hyper-V into Foglight.

Foglight Management Server

The cartridge can be used on a Foglight™ platform to gain in-depth insight into the health of the virtual machine, the server, and the virtual environment as a whole.

Before installing the cartridge, ensure that your Foglight Management Server is properly installed and configured. For information on how to install and configure the Foglight Management Server, please refer to the Installation and Setup Guide set and the Administration and Configuration Help.

Foglight Agent Manager

The Agent Manager component collects data from monitored hosts and sends it to the Management Server. Foglight™ for Hyper-V monitors host machines remotely using the WinRM or WMI service. For that reason, the Agent Manager does not need to be installed on each individual host that you want to monitor. The Management Server includes an embedded Agent Manager instance that starts and stops with the server.

One Agent Manager installation per Management Server is often enough, unless additional installations are required to balance the collection load onto other machines. The cartridge is compatible with the Agent Manager version 5.8.1 or later.
