Foglight |
FOG-6909 | Time display supports European format only. | Foglight |
The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this release.
Note: Check the release notes for each cartridge you will be using for known and late-breaking issues with that cartridge.
For a list of known issues for Foglight Agent Manager in this release, see the Foglight Agent Manager 7.3.0 Release Notes.
The timeframe selector has a new and modern implementation. It has the following limitations compared to the previous implementation:
There is no support for retrieving data in specific granularity.
There is no support for graphically selecting time on a timeline
Foglight for Automation is not supported:
See below for details. These limitations will be addressed in a future release.
When a Foglight Management Server running in High Availability mode fails over, all in-progress tasks fail and the system cannot recover them.
The Foglight Cartridge for Automation should not be installed, and workflow automation must not be used, on a Foglight Federation Master. This is because active tasks that update topology objects are not permitted on the Federation Master. Workflow automation may be installed and used on the Federated Child(ren) as usual.

Known Issue |
FOG-3615 | Notification emails body prefix formatting may show as one big line instead of separated lines. Workaround: add dot "." at the end of each line you add to the email body prefix |
FOG-3589 | In the Notification Channel dashboard, on the "Alarms" tab an "Error occur" message is displayed sometimes. Workaround: Move to another domain in the same alarm template. |
WCF-15913 |
Custom rules (which are copied from existing cartridge rules) will drop some tables or charts that exist in the original Alarm dialog. Contact Quest Support for workaround. |
FGL-20162 |
Running Foglight 5.9.5 on Windows Server 2008 requires upgrading PowerShell to version 3.0. |
FGL-19877 |

FGL-19431 |
If you toggled enable/disable state for Alarm Integration, Incident Integration, Clear Integration Alarm, or QMX Agent Host Connection Rule rule in the Integration cartridge, its enable/disable state will be reset after upgrading to 5.9.x from 5.7.5.8. |
FGL-19283 |
When upgrading the Management Server from 5.7.5.8 to 5.9.x, unexpected CartridgeDeploymentException shows in the log file. Workaround: This exception only occurs in environments with those cartridges which define Java Archive or JBoss Artifacts component, like Integration and IntelliProfile cartridges. JBoss Server has been removed from the Management Server 5.9.x. As a result, JBossDeploymentHandler, which was used to handle above components, has also been removed from the Management Server 5.9.2 or later. If you encounter this issue, you could ignore it as this exception does not impact upgrade of the Management Server and relevant cartridges. |
FGL-18953 |
EU appliances may fail connecting the Foglight Management Server after the initial installation of Foglight Management Server. |
FGL-18611 |

FGLUI-10036 |
Credential alarm messages sometimes contain UUIDs for objects related to the alarm. |
FGLUI-8261 |
When using a Federation Master that is a newer version than the Federated Child, it is possible to get warnings about missing metrics. This occurs when new metrics have been added to the Federation Master's version. The warnings indicate that the Federated Child does not provide these metrics, and they will cease when the Federated Child is upgraded to the same version as the Federation Master. |
FGLUI-7817 |
When editing secondary agent property lists, the Delete Selected Row(s) button marks the rows to be deleted by graying them out. Save changes must be selected to delete the selected rows. If a required field is blank, then a value must be entered before the row can be marked for deletion. |
FGLUI-7729 |
In the Service Builder and Service Operation Console (SOC) dashboards, when alarm filters are configured, they are applied to the main dashboards (Service Builder and SOC dashboards) and to some first level popups only. The alarm filters are not applied throughout all popups/drilldowns at any level. |
FGLUI-7593 |

FGLUI-6874 |
If a Federation Master Server connects an older version Federated Child, the Federated Child may have some of the objects that are no longer associated with the Management Server Performance Report and Foglight Server Diagnostic views on the Federation Master. This results in some data about the Federated Child being unavailable to this report and views. |
FGLUI-5990 |
Inconsistency in the number of alerts shown in the "All Alarms Chart" and "Alarm List with Filter" in the Alarms dashboard. |
FGLUI-5708 |
