The Datacenter Collection Scheduler agent properties specify the data frequency settings the agent uses to read monitored log files.
• |
Collector Config: A list containing the data collectors the agent uses. Each entry in the list includes the following columns: |
• |
Collector Name: The name of the collector the agent uses to gather data. |
• |
Default Collection Interval: The number of milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days during which the agent collects data. |
• |
Time Unit: The time unit associated with the Default Collection Interval. |
• |
Fast-Mode Collection Interval: The number of milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days during which the agent collects data when working in the fast collection mode. |
• |
Fast-Mode Time Unit: The time unit associated with the Fast-Mode Collection Interval. |
• |
Fast-Mode Max Count: The maximum number of the times the agent can stay in fast collection mode. |
This example provides the configuration settings for monitoring the “System” and “Application” Windows® event log files. Any records with a source value of Perflib are excluded from the monitoring, and only records that are of type Warning are included in the monitoring.
Foglight Log Monitor requires that a Windows® command shell connection be established to execute Windows commands on remote machines. There are two types of command shell connections that can be established to execute remote commands: WinRMCommandShell and DCOMWindowsCommandShell. You need to setup the remote machine based on the type of command shell connection you need to establish.
To execute Windows commands on a local machine, a LocalWindowsCommandShell may be used, if local user credentials are provided.
The Foglight Log Monitor command shells are described in the following sections.
Uses Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to execute remote commands. For configuration information, see section “Configuring Windows Remote Management (WinRM)” in the Foglight Agent Manager Guide.
For configuration information, see sections “Configuring Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)” and “Configuring Registry Settings for WinShell Access through DCOM” in the Foglight Agent Manager Guide.
The Foglight for Infrastructure WindowsAgent can use the WMI mechanism to establish remote connections for monitoring Windows resources. In this case it can collect data only from specific event logs, but not all (for details, see About the WindowsAgent).
To monitor event logs within the “Applications and Services” category, you must use the LogMonitor agents (FileLogMonitorAgent or WindowsEventLogMonitorAgent).
Foglight LogMonitor copies an executable to the remote machine and runs this executable, which outputs the collected data and then Foglight Agent Manager processes it. The executable uses Windows native APIs to obtain the relevant data from the Windows Event Logs. To copy and run the executable on the remote machine, access to the Windows command prompt is required. If DCOM is used, an extra setup step is required (for details, see “Configuring Registry Settings for WinShell Access through DCOM” in the Foglight Agent Manager Guide). There are no extra setup steps required if WinRM is used.
The remote monitoring of Windows® and UNIX® hosts has unique requirements, as presented in the Foglight Agent Manager Guide. For example, the following log entry indicates that the Remote Connection failed.
com.quest.glue.api.services.RemoteConnectionException: a shell connection could not be established
Foglight™ for PowerVM allows you to monitor IBM® PowerVM® environments. Foglight alerts you about infrastructure problems when they develop, enabling you to resolve issues pro actively before end users are affected. Early intervention ensures consistent application performance at established service levels. Foglight for PowerVM monitors the health of your virtual system by tracking the levels of resource utilization such as processor, network, and memory consumption of individual objects in your integrated environment.
