Installed directories
|
Files that client programs (such as the command-line client) use for remote access to Foglight. | |||||
|
Configuration files and subdirectories. The files in the config directory contain settings that are most likely to require editing. Files at the next level are less likely to need changing. Files at the lowest level contain settings that are unlikely to need changing except in special circumstances. | |||||
|
Directory for extension cartridges (optional cartridges that are not installed by default). | |||||
|
The Foglight license file you install. NOTE: See the Administration and Configuration Guide for information about license requirements, managing licenses, and the different categories of cartridges (based on their license requirements). | |||||

Default location of the log files that Foglight generates when it runs. | |||||
|
Default location for the embedded PostgreSQL® library. To start the embedded database separately, without running Foglight, use these parameters: | |||||
|
SQL scripts and examples of the two types of Script Agents. scripts\agent contains sample Type 1 and Type 2 Script Agent files. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for more information about Script Agents. scripts\sql-templates contains SQL scripts to drop/create schema, or create/populate the database. The scripts included in this directory are specific to the type of database that you selected when installing Foglight. | |||||
|
JAR files and data files that a particular Foglight server variant uses (such as default). | |||||

Where the running state of Foglight is kept. It includes the following sub-directories:

Foglight settings
Foglight can run with its default settings. Edit these settings if you need to change run-time parameters such as settings for running the Management Server in High Availability (HA) mode or the ports that the Management Server uses. Many Foglight settings can be changed by editing the file <foglight_home>\config\server.config, which contains settings.
|
NOTE: In certain configurations the Management Server may use ports in addition to the ones that you set using server.config; for example, when Foglight is running in High Availability (HA) mode. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for details. |

Editing the server.config file
The <foglight_home>\config\server.config file contains parameters for port settings, virtual memory, command-line options, and server federation. You can edit the file using a text editor. Values within quotation marks can be edited.
The server.config file includes properties for individual database connection parameters like host name, port, etc. The Management Server uses those parameters to construct a JDBC URL at runtime. In some complex cases, like connecting to the Oracle RAC, these basic parameters are insufficient and a custom JDBC URL had to be manually entered into the oracle-ds.xml file.
Starting with Foglight 5.7.5.3, the server.config file allows you to specify the full JDBC URL (by editing the server.database.url property, which is by default commented out), removing the need for users to edit *-ds.xml files.
Enabling High Availability mode after installation
If you want to run Foglight in High Availability (HA) mode but did not select this option during installation, you can enable HA mode after installation by editing the file server.config. For more information, see the Foglight High Availability Field Guide.
