Using an external database

An external instance of MySQL® with an InnoDB storage engine can be used if your database administrator has installed one. Please see the System Requirements and Platform Support Guide for information about the external databases supported for Foglight.

A setup with an external database has the advantage of using existing infrastructure. For setup, a remote administrator user/password with rights to create users and tables in the user/temp tablespace is required.

 
* 
NOTE: External MySQL databases must be configured to use a case-sensitive character set collation (for example, UTF-8).
External MySQL databases have to use the InnoDB table storage engine and must be configured for mixed-mode logging.

Licensing

This section provides information about licensing for Foglight.

 
* 
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).
Providing a license file during installation

You can install a license file during installation if you perform a Custom Install. See Step 14: Add Foglight license file in Installing a new version of the Management Server.

Importing a license file after installation

You can also import a license after installing Foglight. There are three ways of providing a license file to the Management Server after installation.

Using the manual process
•
Move an existing license file into the <foglight_home>\license folder.
Using the Foglight Administration module
•
Upload a license file using the Foglight Administration module. See the Administration and Configuration Guide for instructions.
Using the command line
1
Start the Foglight Management Server.
2
Ensure that JAVA_HOME is set.
3
If you have not already done so, extract the file fglcmd.zip in <foglight_home>\tools.
4
Upload a license by navigating to <foglight_home>\tools and entering the following command:
fglcmd -usr <username> -pwd <password> -cmd license:import ‑f <license_file>
The preceding command assumes that you are using the default port 8080 and localhost. If you are not running with these default values, use the following options to indicate server and port:
-port <xx> -srv <server_name>
For example, if you want to connect to the Management Server using the default HTTPS port, include the option -port 8443 with the fglcmd command.
 
* 
NOTE: See the Command-Line Reference Guide for information about running the fglcmd utility and the options that can be used with fglcmd, including additional license-management commands.

Installation modes

Installation modes

The default mode for the installer is the graphical user interface mode. However, in cases where a graphics display is not available, the Foglight installer can be started in command-line mode by using the console mode or silent mode.

Console mode

In console mode, the install instructions are in text format, but otherwise are the same as the graphical user interface install.

To execute the console mode, type the following command:

Windows® - Foglight only
Foglight-6_0_0-install_windows-x86_64.exe -i console
Windows® - Foglight Evolve

Foglight_Evolve-x_x_x-install_windows-x86_64.exe -i console
