Foglight for Exchange rules Running diagnostic tests Managing Exchange metrics

Managing Exchange agents

The Exchange agents collect data from remote Exchange servers, which is then used to populate the health and performance metrics presented throughout the Foglight for Exchange dashboards and views.

Foglight for Exchange provides an additional dashboard that can be used to manage Exchange agent instances. Therefore, the Exchange agent instances can be created and managed using one of the following dashboards:

•
Agent Status dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Status)
•
Exchange Environment dashboard > Administration tab (Dashboards > Exchange Environment > Administration tab)

This section describes the Deploy Agent Package dialog, the Agent Setup wizard which is used to add and configure new Exchange agents and the Agent Management view which is populated with information about each Exchange agent instance. It also provides a description of the Exchange agent properties used to connect to the target server from which data is to be collected.

For more details, see these topics:

•
Agent Status dashboard
•
Exchange agent management
•
Exchange agent properties

Agent Status dashboard

The Agent Status dashboard allows you to deploy agent packages and create agent instances one host at a time. Once an agent is created, use this dashboard to view agent information and edit the properties of one or more agents.

For more information about using the Agent Status dashboard to create and manage agent instances, see “Deploying agent packages to monitored hosts” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.

Exchange agent management

The Exchange Environment dashboard > Administration tab allows you to deploy the Exchange agent package, create Exchange agent instances for one or more servers at a time, activate or deactivate Exchange agents, and start and stop collecting data.

The Administration tab consists of the following components:

•
Tasks list
•
Agent Management view
•
Managing certificates

Tasks list

The Tasks list, in the upper left corner of the view, contains a list of tasks that can be performed from this view.

Figure 15. Tasks list

Clicking the Script for configuring the Exchange settings link on this list downloads and runs a script that automatically configures the Exchange servers. For me ore information, see the readme.txt file included in the script ZIP file.

Clicking the Deploy Agent Package link on this list displays the Deploy Agent Package dialog, to specify the Foglight Agent Manager host to be used to deploy the Exchange agent package.

 
* 
NOTE: In a federated environment, the administrative tasks and Agents view are available only on the Federated Children and not on the Foglight Federation Master.
Deploy Agent Package

The Deploy Agent Package dialog appears when you select the Deploy Agent Package link in the Tasks list at the top of the Administration tab. This dialog contains a list of installed Foglight Agent Manager hosts.

To deploy the Exchange agent package:
1
Select the Deploy Agent Package link.
The Deploy Agent Package dialog appears.
2
Select the Foglight Agent Manager host to which the Exchange Agent package is to be deployed, and click Deploy.
* 
NOTE: To deploy the Exchange agent package to additional Foglight Agent Manager hosts, repeat Step 2 for each host.
3
Once successfully deployed, a confirmation dialog appears. Click OK to close this dialog.
* 
NOTE: Because you are only deploying agent packages at this time, the newly deployed package will NOT appear in the Agent Management view.
