Foglight for Infrastructure known issues

 

Defect ID

Known Issue

FAIO-232

IC only collects one single record for Btrfs partitions mapped to the same physical device.

IC-4275

Some metrics (bytes read/written, reads/writes) cannot be collected for ZFS disk.

IC-4047

The "sqlserv.exe process" and "Memory Top Consumers" metrics collected by the Windows Agent are incorrect.

IC-3873

On the All Hosts dashboard, metrics of Logical Disks are not accurate. 

IC-3617

The alarm view of the rule that was copied from the Record Severity could not be shown correctly.

IC-2841

Half of processors (16/31) do not have Utilization metric.

IC-2644

DellUnixAgent logs 'No begin line' when configured to monitor Solaris® on Foglight Agent Manager 5.8.1.
Workaround: Upgrade Foglight Agent Manager to version 5.8.5.

IC-2370

On the Infrastructure Environment dashboard, Uptime always displays "Not Available" for Solaris® zones.

IC-2058

Different cpu usage between Top CPU Consumers table and "topas" output on command line.

IC-1684

Network metrics may be unavailable when monitoring Solaris® LDOMs.

IC-1572

UnixAgent generates the IOException: error=12, Not enough space and no data is collected.

Workaround: This is a basic attribute of Java® processes that use a large amount of memory on Solaris®. The workarounds are either to reduce the amount of memory used by FglAM (perhaps by moving agents to other FglAM instances) or by increasing the swap space available to the Solaris® system. The root problem is described in the following Oracle® report: JDK-5049299 : (process) Use posix_spawn, not fork, on S10 to avoid swap exhaustion. Please note that the fix for this issue provided in this report is only for Solaris 10 and later). This is generally only an issue for agents monitoring the local system, but can also occur when agents run on the system in question, but are monitoring a remote system. They may still need to execute commands on the host system.

IC-1478

The Linux® data collector incorrectly identifies HP Smart Array physical disk as a logical disk.

IC-1440

Research if HP-UX agent might submit incorrect value for run queue length: includes active processes not just queued.

IC-1439

The Linux® agent submits incorrect value for run queue length; it includes active processes and not all blocked processes.

IC-1304

When parsing df output, make sure to account for the amount of space reserved in the filesystem.

IC-1253

Replace or augment the Event Log rule with a multi-severity rule.

IC-1163

When a UnixAgent monitors an AIX® system remotely, the remote monitor running quest_perfstat.bin fails with a timeout, and the following message is logged:

... Could not process metric query command: . Error: null

IC-1103

LinuxCollector on local host: Could not process metric query command: ... Error: null.

IC-1097

Network(receiveRate, sendRate, transferRate, utilization) can not be collected successfully while use non-native collector for AIX®, HP-UX agents.

IC-1093

The WindowsAgent does not remove invalid characters in log data before transmitting it.

IC-1049

While monitoring AIX® or HP-UX with the native collector, changing the user name of the credential used for monitoring generates an error related to the quest_perfstat.bin file.

Workaround: Before making changes to the credential, stop data collection on any AIX or HP-UX agent that are currently using those credentials. Failing to stop data collection causes the collector to generate an error indicating that it cannot execute a binary in the remote host's tmp directory. To enable the agent to resume data collection, delete the offending binary from the remote host machine.

IC-904

Mounted ISOs not reliably detected as read only.

IC-851

Selecting a severity level on a tile in the Infrastructure Environment dashboard filters the list of hosts to only that severity. If a host's severity level changes, the host remains in the list even if you refresh the page.

Workaround: If you leave the Infrastructure Environment dashboard and return, the filters are updated.

IC-811

The user installing or upgrading a cartridge will sometimes get an error when accessing views installed with the cartridge. This only happens if users go from the Cartridge Inventory dashboard directly to a Dashboard of the newly installed or updated cartridge (for example, the Infrastructure Environment dashboard does not render on first access after an upgrade).

Workaround: Refreshing the browser can often correct this problem. If this doesn't solve the problem, logging out and logging back in will clear the issue.

IC-747

Output from interactive shell during an SSH connection may cause errors when parsing command execution results.

IC-561

All Foglight for Infrastructure agents use the collection interval to calculate rate metrics. This is incorrect because a stop/start triggers a recollection before the interval expires.

Foglight Log Monitor known issues

Defect ID

Known Issue

IC-3617

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.

IC-2529

Foglight Log Monitor does not support the AIX® and Solaris® (SPARC®) platform with Foglight for Infrastructure 5.8.1.
Workaround: The Log Monitor executables, in a Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) install, are stored in the <FglAM_home>/client/<client_version>/bin directory, based on their corresponding platform and architecture.

IC-1901

The Log Monitor page does not auto-refresh on Foglight Management Server version 5.6.5 to 5.6.10.
Workaround: Upgrade the Management Server to version 5.6.11 or later.

Foglight for PowerVM known issues

 

Defect ID

Known Issue

AGENT-3716

PowerVMVirtualManager is not submitted when the PowerVM agent is running in an upgraded environment. For more details, see Troubleshooting Foglight for PowerVM.

AGENT-3232

The metrics in pop-up view of the dependency node should use the specific dependency time range, not the system time range.

AGENT-3218

The "PowerVM VIOS State Inspect" alarm does not display in the alarm table as expected when using a Firefox® 18.0 browser.

The "PowerVM Server Connect State" alarm has been cleared, but the warning icon of the specific server still exists when using a Firefox 18.0 browser.
