The following prerequisite conditions must be in place in order to successfully initialize an Office 365 agent. Failure to meet these prerequisites may result in missing metrics in Foglight for Office 365 dashboards.
Important: All prerequisite steps must be completed on the ADFS server as well as the Active Directory® server because the Office365 agent collects information from the Active Directory server and requires access permissions.
Note: The Remote Access Diagnostics utility, provided with this cartridge, checks the connectivity between the Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) and Active Directory and ADFS servers that are being monitored. It also tests for the prerequisite conditions that must be met in order to initialize an Office 365 agent. This utility requires .NET® 2.0 libraries to run. For more information on running the Remote Access Diagnostics utility, see the Remote Access Diagnostics User Guide.
Office 365 account privileges:
Note: Make sure to give minimum required privilege to your agent; otherwise this agent cannot start data collection.
ADFS account privileges:
Office 365® account privileges:
Note: The monitoring user for Office 365 can be a unlicensed user.
To grant permissions on the registry keys:
ADFS servers that have to be accessed by clients not supporting GSS authentication must have SmbServerNameHardeningLevel set to 0 (the default). For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2345886.
Rule #1: need local ports 135, 139, 389 (or 636) and 445 opened.
Rule #2: need "Dynamic RPC" local ports opened.
For more information, see the following article: https://support.quest.com/kb/SOL85903.
For details about this topic, refer to the "Configuring Windows Remote Management (WinRM)" section in the Foglight Agent Manager Guide.
The Kerberos configuration file specifies the KDC from which tickets are obtained. Operating systems sometimes have their own Kerberos configuration files. If present, the Agent Manager uses them by default. They can be found in the following locations:
If none of these files are found, the Agent Manager attempts to create its own kerberos configuration file, based on the detected settings. The detection can only be done on Windows, so on Unix, the file is not generated. On Unix platforms, you need to create your own Kerberos configuration files to establish WinRM connections using Negotiate authentication.
The krb5.ini or krb5.conf file should contain the realm info and hostname of the KDC for this realm. For example:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = <REALM_NAME_IN_CAPS>
[realms]
<REALM_NAME_IN_CAPS> = {
kdc = <fully_qualified_kdc_name>
}
[domain_realm]
.<domain_in_lower_case> = <REALM_NAME_IN_CAPS>
Server objects do not appear until at least one piece of data has been collected and recorded. If communication fails completely, you will not see objects.
Configuration steps:
ADFS agents delegate Windows agents, VMware agents, or Hyper-V agents to collect host data. ADFS agents collect host details to decide whether it is a VMware Virtual machine or a Hyper-V Virtual machine. By default, the host type is a physical machine.
For VMware virtual machine, agents delegate VMware agents to collect host data.
For Hyper-V virtual machine, agents delegate Hyper-V agents to collect host data.
For physical machine, agents delegate IC agents to collect host data.
Foglight includes a licensing capability that restricts access to those features that are defined in the license. Any Management Server installation requires a license that grants access to server-specific parts of the browser interface and the features associated with them. Foglight cartridges are also license-protected. While some cartridges are covered by the base Foglight license (such as Foglight Agent Manager cartridges and the Cartridge for Infrastructure), others may require an additional license. Foglight for Office 365 is covered by the Foglight Evolve Monitor, Operate, and Flex license.
To activate a trial or a purchased commercial license:
The Foglight for Office 365 release package contains the following:
Foglight for Office 365 can be installed as a stand-alone cartridge on a Foglight platform. In this configuration, all Office 365 metrics are collected as well as basic host metrics from both physical and virtual Office 365 Servers. Before installing the cartridge, ensure that your Foglight Management Server is properly installed and configured. For information on how to install and configure the Foglight Management Server, refer to the Foglight Installation and Setup Guide set.
Foglight for Office 365 can also be installed on a Foglight Evolve or a Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition platform. In this configuration, it is used to gain in-depth insight into the health of the virtual machine, the virtual host, and the virtual environment as a whole. Before installing the cartridge, ensure that Foglight Evolve or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition is properly installed and configured. For information on how to install and configure Foglight Evolve or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition, refer to the Foglight Installation and Setup Guide set.
You can use one Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) with the following settings to support 25 to 30 agent instances: 6 GB memory and 2 CPU.
It is recommended that you perform the following steps before you begin the installation procedure:
Foglight for Office 365 is distributed as a .car file: Office365Monitoring-5_8_2.car.
To install Foglight for Office 365:
Use the Administration > Cartridges > Cartridge Inventory dashboard to install the Office365Monitoring-5_8_2.car cartridge.
For full installation instructions, refer to the topic "Installing Foglight cartridges" in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
In order for Office 365 data to appear on the Foglight browser interface, once the cartridge has been successfully installed, you need to deploy the agent package, configure the agent properties, create and activate agents, and start the data collection. For detailed information about these procedures, refer to Foglight for Office 365 User Guide.
