Step 17: Install complete

Click Done to complete the installation process.

Foglight Server Startup page

If you selected the Run Now check box in the Foglight Server Startup step in the installer, the installer starts Foglight and launches the Foglight startup page.

When the server startup is complete, a link to the Foglight login page appears. For more information, see Logging in to Foglight.

 
* 
NOTE: The default link to the login page points to http://localhost:8080. In some instances, this link may not correspond to the URL of your Foglight server. In such cases, see Why does clicking the login link on the server startup page not work?.

Configuration about SQL Server Failover

If you want to use the SQL Server Failover function on the Foglight Management Server, perform the following configurations:

1
On the primary database instance, issue the following command:
select name, sid, password_hash from master.sys.sql_logins where name='<username>';
Store the username, sid, and password_hash for later use.
2
On the secondary database instance(s), issue the following command:
* 
NOTE: Variables contained within angle brackets should be changed to the values that you obtained in step 1.
NOTE: The value of <databasename> is the db instance that you create during the installation of the Foglight Management Sever.
CREATE LOGIN [<username>]
WITH PASSWORD = <password_hash> HASHED,
SID = <sid>,
DEFAULT_DATABASE = [<databasename>],
DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = [us_english],
CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF,
CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
3
Locate <FMS_HOME>\config\server.config, update server.database.host value to the FMS DB's Availability Group Listener IP.
* 
NOTE: For HA environment, both HA peers' server.database.host value should be updated.

Next steps

If you performed a Custom Install and you did not install a license in Step 14: Add Foglight license file, follow the instructions in Importing a license file after installation to provide a license file to the Management Server after installation.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: See the Administration and Configuration Guide for information about license requirements, managing licenses, and the different categories of cartridges (based on their license requirements).

If you did not select the Run Now option in the Foglight Server Startup step of the installer, start the Management Server by following the instructions in Starting and stopping the Management Server.
