•
Add — starts a workflow for creating agent instances.

•
Start Data Collection — the active Foglight Agent begins to monitor your OpenStack environment and send data about it to the Foglight Management Server.
•
Stop Data Collection — stops the data collection for one or more selected agent instances.
•
Remove — deletes the selected agent instance.
•
Update Agent — upgrades the agent to a new version, after a new cartridge is installed.
* 
NOTE: When a newer Foglight for OpenStack version is installed on your system, the Agent Version column in the Agents table is updated to read Update Agent. To apply the new features, update the agents to the latest version. You can upgrade the agents one by one, by selecting from the table and clicking the corresponding Update Agent link in the Agent version column. You can upgrade all agents at once by selecting all the listed agents and clicking the Update Agent button at the top of the list.
To perform an agent management command, select one or more check boxes in the left-most column and click the appropriate button. For example, to start an agent’s data collection, select the check box in the agent row and click Start Data Collection.

Create a Foglight Agent

After installing the Foglight for OpenStack cartridge, you must create a Foglight Agent to communicate with the OpenStack System. Foglight Agents retrieve data about your OpenStack infrastructure resources.

To create a Foglight Agent:
1
Click the Add button on the Foglight Agents tab.
The Create Foglight Agent wizard appears, showing the Select Agent Host page.
A list of available Foglight Agent Manager hosts that can be used to collect data is displayed.

Select a Foglight Agent Manager host and click Next.
The Select OpenStack Server page is displayed.

On the Select OpenStack Server page, enter the following, and then click Next:
•
Server Name — OpenStack (Keystone host) name or IP address.
•
Port — through which a remote host communicates with the system running the Identity service.
* 
NOTE: Pre-populated with the default port for the Identity service (Keystone).
•
Use HTTPS — (optional) use secure communications with the OpenStack server.
The Enter User Credentials page is displayed.

The agent is activated and data collection starts.

Host Agents tab

After you have completed setting up the Foglight Agent, you start receiving OpenStack topology data which can be viewed by going to the OpenStack Dependency dashboard and navigating down the topology tree on the Infrastructure tab.

The next step is to obtain performance data by setting up host agents.

NOTE: Host Agents collect most but not all the performance data displayed on OpenStack dashboards. Instance Agents are required to retrieve some additional metrics.

The Host Agents tab displays a list of all discovered hosts with the statuses for the embedded agents. A set of host management buttons are available:

•
Refresh — refreshes the list of host agents and their statuses.
•
Credentials — adds or removes the credentials of one or more host agents.
•
Activate — installs the host agent.
•
Deactivate — deletes the host agent.

The Download Log button offers a convenient way to get the current log file of the corresponding agent, for review and diagnostics.

A host agent begins to return performance data from a host once that agent has been assigned the correct credentials.

To configure the credentials for new hosts:
1
Click the Credentials button on the Host Agents tab.
The Embedded Agents Credentials wizard appears.
A list of available host groups is displayed.
