About the Command-Line Interface Managing the Foglight Management Server Managing the Foglight Agent Manager Managing Agents, Cartridges, and Metrics

getlog

The getlog command retrieves a copy of an agent’s log file. This command is useful in situations when you do not have access to the installation directory of the Foglight Management Server.

For information on how to get a list of log files using the fglcmd interface, see logs .

fglcmd connection_options -cmd agent:getlog -log log_file_name -f file_path

[-clientbuild build_ID] [-clientversion version] [-allclients] [-regex]
[-upgradable {true|false}]

An explicit text string or a regular expression that selects one or more Foglight Agent Manager instances with the specified version.

connection_options

Specifies the user name and password for the Foglight Management Server, as well as the machine name and port number, if necessary. Alternatively, fglcmd can retrieve this information from a user-specific properties file. For more information on how to specify connection options on the command line, see Logging In and Setting the Scope . For details on using a properties file, see Using a Properties File to Supply Connection Information .

Listing and Assigning Blackout Schedules to Agent Instances

This describes the following commands:

These commands allow you to assign blackout periods to agent instances, and to list them, as required. An agent blackout is a scheduled event during which the agent does not collect data for set intervals. Blackout periods can also be assigned to topology objects. However, unlike agent blackouts, topology object blackouts do not interrupt the data collection for the object to which the blackout is assigned. Blacking out a topology object simply means that no rules analyze that object for the duration of the blackout.

For more information about the commands for assigning blackouts to agent instances, and listing them, as required, see Listing and Assigning Blackout Schedules to Topology Objects .

showschedule

The showchedule command shows the blackout schedule assigned to one or more Foglight agent instances.

For a sample regular expression used to specify a host name, see Example .

type

agent_type

An explicit text string or a regular expression that specifies one or more Foglight agent types.

The selection of available agent types depends on the collection of deployed cartridges. For example, a basic Foglight Management Server installation that includes the Cartridge for Infrastructure can two different agent types:
