Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition 8.9.3 - Command-Line Reference Guide

About the Command-Line Interface Managing the Foglight Management Server Managing the Foglight Agent Manager Managing Agents, Cartridges, and Metrics

fmsha

The fmsha command provides a command-line interface to the Foglight Management Server process running in High Availability (HA) mode. Running Foglight in HA mode allows you to manage multiple instances of the Foglight Management Server in a JBoss® partition that supports the HA feature. For more information about the HA mode, see the Installation and Setup Guide.

This command offers a set of options that you can use to perform any of the following operations:

Configure JavaTM Virtual Machine (JVM) options and add entries to the Foglight classpath

[--remove-debug-level package_1.package_n.]

add-debug-level

package.=debug_level

Specifies a debug level for one or more packages. Higher debug levels result in more detailed logging. For example, you can set the debug_level to one of the following values:

0: No debugging
1: Minimal debugging
2: Detailed debugging

The period '.' following the package name is mandatory, otherwise the package is treated as a class. The package.=debug_level argument can be specified multiple times.

h

help

None

Displays a list of arguments and their descriptions.

j

jvm-argument

JVM_options

Specifies one or more JVM options.

JVM_option

Passes an option to the JVM, prefixed with -X or -D. For example:

fmsha -Xdebug

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,

suspend=n,address=1044 -Dquest.debug=2

m

javavm

path_to_JAVA_HOME

Points to the JVM for the Management Server process.

n

name

process_name

Specifies a unique process name for the current instance of the Foglight Management Server. Foglight uses process names to distinguish between different instances of the same process launcher.

p

classpath

class_path

Adds entries to the JVM classpath.

q

stop

None

Stops the running Foglight Management Server process.

remove-debug-level

package.

Removes a debug level associated with one or more packages. The period '.' following the package name is mandatory, otherwise the package is treated as a class. The package. argument can be specified multiple times.

s

start

None

Starts the Foglight Management Server.

set-global-debug-level

debug_level

Sets the global debug level. The debug_level argument must be a non-negative integer. Higher debug levels result in more detailed logging.

For example, you can set the debug_level to one of the following values:

0: No debugging
1: Minimal debugging
2: Detailed debugging

t

thread-dump

None

Requests a thread output from the running application. This option writes the output to a separate log file in the application's installation directory.

v

version

None

Displays the version number, copyright, build number, and the installation directory.

w

wait

None

When sending a shutdown command to an existing Foglight Management Server process, this option instructs the command to wait indefinitely for the process to exit before shutting it down.

d

daemon

None

Starts the Foglight Management Server as a daemon process.

b

start-service

None

Starts the Foglight Management Server Windows service.

i

install-service

None

Installs the Foglight Management Server as a Windows service.

r

remove-service

None

Stops and removes the Foglight Management Server Windows service.

remotemonitor

The remotemonitor command provides command-line interface to the Remote Monitor application. The Remote Monitor communicates with multiple instances of the Foglight Management Server running in HA mode. If a server fails to reply, the Remote Monitor logs an event and sends e-mails to the server administrator. The Remote Monitor uses a list of host names or host names and port numbers to identify High Availability servers that it communicates with. This information is stored in the <foglight_home>/config/remote_monitor.config file under the server.urls entry.

For information on how to install and configure the Remote Monitor, see Managing the Foglight Management Server ; for additional information about the Remote Monitor application, see the Installation and Setup Guide.

The remotemonitor command offers a set of options that you can use to perform any of the following operations:

Configure JavaTM Virtual Machine (JVM) options and add entries to the Remote Monitor classpath
remotemonitor [-s|--start] [-q|--stop] [-w|--wait] [-n|--name process_name]
[-i|--install-service] [-r|--remove-service] [-b|--start-service]
[-j|--jvm-argument JVM_options] [-p|--classpath class_path] [-v|--version]
[-h|--help] [-t|--thread-dump] [JVM_option]
remotemonitor [-s|--start] [-q|--stop] [-w|--wait] [-n|--name process_name]
[-j|--jvm-argument JVM_options] [-p|--classpath class_path] [-v|--version]
[-h|--help] [-t|--thread-dump] [JVM_option]
NOTE: If you do not specify any options, remotemonitor uses the default option, s, and starts an instance of the Remote Monitor utility.

h
