Foglight for Active Directory 5.8.2 - Remote Access Diagnostics User Guide

What is Remote Access Diagnostics?

Remote Access Diagnostics is a tool developed to check the connection between the Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) server and Active Directory® and Exchange servers that are to be monitored. It also tests for prerequisite conditions that must be in place in order to initialize an Active Directory or Exchange agent. It reports communication issues that would interfere with a Foglight for Active Directory or Foglight for Exchange agent’s ability to collect metrics from WMI and LDAP providers.

The Remote Access Diagnostics tool consists of three basic tests:

Remote Access Test: This test runs a name resolution and ping test and an LDAP and WMI query against selected Active Directory domain controllers and Exchange servers to ensure they can connect to the FglAM server using the provided credentials.
Prerequisite Test for Foglight for Active Directory: Tests the prerequisite settings for Foglight for Active Directory. It checks several environment settings that can block remote access to a domain controller and runs local WMI queries against a domain controller. This test should be run locally on a domain controller.
Prerequisite Test for Foglight for Exchange: Tests the prerequisite settings for Foglight for Exchange. It checks several environment settings that can block the remote access. This test should be run locally on both the Exchange server to be monitored and the domain controller specified in the Exchange agent properties.
