Syntax Conventions

In order to successfully make use of the Foglight commands in your monitoring environment, review the syntax conventions before getting started. The syntax conventions are as follows:

•
Generic examples follow the UNIX path structure that uses forward slashes '/' to separate directories.
•
Platform-specific examples follow standard platform conventions. For example, UNIX-specific examples use forward slashes ‘/’ as directory delimiters, while Windows examples use backslashes ‘\’.
•
<foglight_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Management Server installation.
•
<foglight_agent_mgr_home> is a placeholder that represents the path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation. This can be the location of the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host, or the home directory of the Foglight Agent Manager that comes embedded with the Foglight Management Server. For example:
Path to the Foglight Agent Manager installation on a monitored host (Windows):
C:\Quest\Foglight_Agent_Manager
Path to the embedded Foglight Agent Manager installation (Windows):
C:\Quest\Foglight\fglam
•
Unless otherwise specified, Foglight commands are case-sensitive.
