Known Issue |
DB2FOG-88 |
The Management Server 5.7.1 stops responding when clicking charts on the Tablespaces dashboard. Workaround: Upgrade the Management Server to 5.7.5 or later. |
DB2FOG-67 | DB agents need be re-upgraded after upgrading the Foglight Management Server. Workaround: Make sure to wait for more than 10 minutes between upgrade of the Foglight Management Server and Foglight for DB2 LUW. |
DDB-5387 | For DB2 version 9.7 and above, the following metrics are not available due to DB2 limitations: AGENT_USR_CPU_TIME_MS, AGENT_SYS_CPU_TIME_MS, LAST_RESET. |
DDB-5376 | For DB2 version 9.7 and 10.1, some statistics information about db2 background processes is not collected due to DB2 limitation |
DDB-5146 |

|
DDB-3669 | The Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.6.5.5 Upgrade Wizard does not support the upgrade of external agents if the Agent Manager is not version 5.6.2 or later. Workaround: Upgrade to Foglight Management Server 5.6.4 or later. |
DDB-2860 | An Agent Manager that is installed on a Windows fail-over cluster as a service that runs on the active node cannot monitor databases that are located on the same cluster. This is an Agent Manager limitation. |
DDB-2745 | The Memory Summary panel and the corresponding alarm display "null" when there are no child pools under a memory pool. |
DDB-2706 | If you have a Foglight for DB2 LUW agent that has never been used to collect data and you upgrade to Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.6.4 or later, you will not be able to activate and use the agent seamlessly. To activate and use the Foglight for DB2 LUW agent seamlessly, you must first create an Infrastructure agent and then manually set up resource mapping for that agent. For information on how to create an Infrastructure agent, see the Infrastructure Cartridge documentation. For information on how to set up resource mapping, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help. |
DDB-2637 | When the legacy Cartridge for DB2 LUW and Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.5.x are installed on the same Foglight Management Server and you upgrade the latter to Foglight for DB2 LUW 5.6.4 or later, the online help for the legacy version is no longer available. Workaround: 1. On the navigation panel, navigate to Administration > Cartridges > Cartridge Inventory. 2. Select the check box next to the DB2_OnlineHelp cartridge. 3. Click Disable to disable the cartridge. 4. Click Enable to enable the cartridge. When you are finished, both online help versions are displayed in the action panel. |
DDB-2073 | For DB2 version below 9.7, the CPU collected and displayed for a monitored instance is the CPU for only the monitored databases under that instance. The instance CPU does not include the CPU for any databases that are under the instance, and are not monitored. |
DDB-1671 |
When monitoring an instance running on Windows using a Foglight Agent Manager that is running on a non-Windows platform, open file descriptors are not closed correctly. Workaround: On the Foglight Agent Manager machine, the "description" limit is configured to "1024". This value should be defined as "unlimited" or to a larger number, for example "65535". |
GVFOG-60 | The "Error executing script" error shows in the server log, if user clicks any tab or component on the Global View. |
GVFOG-37 | The Databases dashboard does not appear after user upgrades the Foglight for DB2 LUW to 5.7.5.37 using SPM installer. |
SSFOG-442 | Anti-Virus Protection tools may result in the failure of setting up the installer agent, due to the occupied gar file. It is highly recommended that you exclude |
