Foglight® requires administrative privileges to configure the server to run as a service (a Windows® service or a UNIX®/Linux® init.d script). Once it is configured, the service can be launched with a regular user account.
When installing the Foglight® Management Server for use with an external database, the database can be set up later (that is, after the Management Server installation is complete). In this case, the database must be manually configured prior to starting the Management Server. This configuration requires executing the scripts in the <foglight_home>/scripts/sql directory as described in the Installation and Setup Guide applicable to the system and database. Some scripts must be run using an account with administrative privileges.
Foglight® can control access to specific elements of a monitored system through a built-in credential management system. If an organization has specific policies in place regarding system access, such policies can be implemented using credentials managed by the Management Server.
Foglight supports a set of commonly used credentials such as:
There are many types of Foglight® agents; most communicate with the Management Server through a provided client component—the Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM).
The Agent Manager can be installed without administrator access, but such access is required to enable startup scripts or Windows® services to allow automatic launching of the Agent Manager upon machine reboot. The Agent Manager can be initially installed on a monitored host through an installer GUI, a text-based console installer, or a command-line silent mode (suitable for mass deployment using customer-provided tools).
