Foglight® for SQL Server

System Requirements

Before installing Foglight for SQL Server, ensure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements detailed in Foglight System Requirements and Platform Support Guide. Customers running large deployments (above 50 instances) should consult with the Foglight for SQL Server sizing assistant.

Foglight for SQL Server requires WMI access for monitoring Windows Operating system metrics on the various SQL Server dashboards. Ensure that the WMI and Remote Registry services are started prior to creating the agents and throughout the monitoring process. Firewall usage requires taking further steps to ensure connection to WMI, as detailed in the known issues section under Connection to WMI.

New in This Release: Foglight 5.5.2

Foglight for SQL Server is an n-tier application that leverages a web-based user interface to ensure that you have complete visibility into your SQL Server infrastructure wherever you have an internet connection. The product components are as follows:

• A centralized middleware component, data store, and self-contained web server that provides web-based access to information. Data storage is available using either an embedded MySQL database (shipped with the Foglight installer) or external (customer-owned and managed) MySQL, Oracle, or SQL Server database. This component is leveraged for discovering instances, providing email alerting capabilities, automating responses to alarms, and for related actions.
• Remote data collectors to gather data from your monitored environment and send it to the middleware.
• A web-based user interface for diagnosis, administration, and configuration
