Deployment pre-requisites

Welcome to the Foglight for Databases Deployment Guide. This guide provides the pre-requisites for optimal deployment, to ensure the best user experience possible.

This section describes important deployment information required to monitor the leading RDBMS: Oracle®, SQL Server®, Sybase®, and DB2 for LUW. The information in this guide applies to all 5.7.5.x and 5.9.3.10 releases.

Architecture

There are three main components:

•

Foglight Management Server and Foglight Database Repository — Responsible for managing, alerting and viewing the collected data. Both components can be set to run on the same machine or reside on separate machines.

•

Agent Manager — Hosts the monitoring database agents.

•

SQL PI Repository — An embedded repository which stores the SQL PI data that the monitoring agents collect. Currently available on Oracle and SQL Server monitoring only.

	NOTE: The product components can be either distributed over different machines — preferable in large or growing environments — or centralized.

Hardware requirements

Identify your hardware requirements, which are determined by whether SQL PI is configured and by the number of monitoring agents.

•

SQL PI configured

•

SQL PI not configured


	NOTE: The Numbers of agent refers to DB agents. The IC agents resources are calculated within the DB agents.

SQL PI configured

SQL PI is available only for Oracle, SQL Server and SQL Server BI (Analysis services). These tables define the Hardware requirements for each server based on the number of monitoring agents

After locating your hardware requirements in the tables, ensure that you complete the manual JVM Setting configuration as described in:

Hard Drive Space	10GB	100GB	200GB	400GB	800GB	1200GB	1600GB

CPUs (2.4GHz)* — for a virtual machine the CPU allocation must be reserved. The reservation is expressed in MHz

RAM*- for a virtual machine the memory allocation must be reserved.

Foglight Agent Manager

Hard Drive Space	2GB	5GB	10GB	20GB	40GB	60GB	80GB


	IMPORTANT: If you are monitoring more than 70 agent running on Windows system, the monitored hosts should be configured to use WinRM. Monitoring Analysis services is supported only on Agent Managers running on Windows which must have a version of .NET 3.5 installed. One PI repository can only be attached by at most three Foglight Agent Managers at a time.

CPUs (2.4GHz)* — for a virtual machine the CPU allocation must be reserved. The reservation is expressed in MHz.

RAM*- for a virtual machine the memory allocation must be reserved.

SQL PI Repository


	WARNING: Linux® is the recommended platform for both Oracle and SQL Server monitoring. Exclude the SQL PI repository directory (named Infobright™) from real-time scanning (for example, Antivirus software). For a virtual machine the CPU and memory allocations must be reserved.

Table 3. SQL PI Repository
Number of Agents	<5	<50	<100	<200	<400	<600	<800
