Using Foglight for PeopleSoft

Foglight™ for PeopleSoft™ extends the Foglight foundation product with specialized agents designed to assure PeopleSoft applications by providing application health and capacity planning information.
Foglight for PeopleSoft monitors the availability and performance of the different components that comprise the PeopleSoft application environment. The PeopleSoft administrator can use measurement data such as server domain activity and throughput along with resource utilization data to determine optimal server domain configuration for performance requirements.
Foglight for PeopleSoft also provides auto-discovery of the PeopleSoft application environment, simplifying installation and configuration of the PeopleSoft monitoring capabilities. Foglight for PeopleSoft discovers PeopleSoft Tuxedo configuration files for all domains, and searches for all application or Process Scheduler server domains in the path looking for the proper PeopleSoft .cfg file. Foglight then sets the necessary connection information and deploys the appropriate agent for each application or process scheduler server domain the user requests to be monitored.
Use Foglight for PeopleSoft to continuously monitor your PeopleSoft application servers with any of the nine Foglight PeopleSoft agents that provide specific monitoring and analysis capability.
