Foglight 7.3.0 - System Requirements and Platform Support Guide

Final platform support notice

The following platforms are no longer supported:

Supported external databases

Foglight® Management Server requires a database repository. You have the option of using either the embedded PostgreSQL® database included with Foglight®, or an external PostgreSQL, Oracle®, SQL Server®, or MySQLTM database. The embedded database is included with the Management Server and it follows the same lifecycle, it stops and starts with the server. If you use an external database, you are responsible for its procurement, installation, and management. Using an external database may improve the Management Server performance.

NOTE: For databases that have different editions, only the editions intended or licensed for production use are supported for use with Foglight. “Express” or “Lite” editions may be used to test Foglight, but should not be used in a production deployment.

Foglight installs the JREs it needs, but you must ensure that any machine that will run a component of Foglight has its operating system patched to the minimum patch level required to support this JRE. This release of Foglight uses the following Java versions:

Check with your operating system vendor for the latest operating system patches required to run this version of Java on your system. Foglight cannot check this during installation.
