Querying the Win32_Service WMI class can result in memory leaks when the agent monitors a Windows® Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 system. If you see that the amount of memory used by the Wmiprvse.exe process keeps increasing, and the system performance decreasing, this is likely caused by this known Microsoft® issue. To prevent memory leaks, install the Microsoft hotfix #981314 available from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981314.
When you install Foglight for Infrastructure on the Foglight Management Server, the installation process makes its agent package (HostAgents.gar) available for deployment.
After a successful agent deployment, you can proceed to create agent instances using the agent types included in the newly-deployed infrastructure agent package: UnixAgentPlus, UnixAgent, WindowsAgent, or MultiHostProcessMonitorAgent.
The recommended method for creating Foglight for Infrastructure agents for the hosts that you want to monitor is by using the Add Monitored Host wizard or the Add Monitored Host - List wizard. For detailed information about these wizards, see sections Adding a monitored host and Adding multiple monitored hosts.
For generic information about creating agent instances and editing properties using the Agent Status dashboard, see “Create agent instances on monitored hosts” in the Administration and Configuration Help. Edit the agent instance properties, as necessary for each monitored host. For generic information about editing agent properties, see “Edit instance-specific agent properties” in the Administration and Configuration Help.
For detailed information about Foglight for Infrastructure agents, see About the WindowsAgent, About the UnixAgentPlus, About the UnixAgent, and About the MultiHostProcessMonitorAgent.
If you create agent instances using the Add Monitored Host wizard or the Add Monitored Host - List wizard, the credentials setup is part of the wizard’s flow. For details, see sections Adding a monitored host and Adding multiple monitored hosts.
