I've got our database load testing product, Benchmark Factory (bmf), running load tests on various database platforms in our lab. Sometimes the host reboots and then BMF needs to be restarted. Since I'm monitoring the host with Foglight, I decided to…

We often get asked by customers how can they integrate Foglight with other products they own to streamline their daily operations. Based on my recent conversation with one of my customers and their IT Ops team, I had the opportunity to explore IT Ops tool…
In this post, we looked at how to create an alarm template via the Databases dashboard.
If you followed the steps outlined, you would've ended up in the Alarm Templates dashboard with a new template.
You can also get to Alarm Templates directly from…
With the release of Foglight version 6, alarm management has been simplified with the use of alarm templates.
You can access Alarm Templates directly from the left-hand panel in the new UI. However, if you've upgraded from a previous version, it helps…
A customer asked how to implement and email that indicates an alarm has been cleared. In Foglight, there are typically several ways to do that.
In this post, we'll look at creating a new rule that fires when an alarm event occurs. The event we'll focus…
Time to wrap up automation of alarm blackouts in Foglight.
In this post, we looked at using the command line to implement alarm blackouts. We used topology queries to match a host name or pattern for an instance (eg. dbss_instance.name like '%YOW%').…
In this intro post, we looked at some basics of setting alarm blackouts via the command line. These commands can then be automated via script to include in a maintenance job, for example.
Any object can be referenced in the topology query - in this example…
There are two ways to manage blackouts in Foglight - from the UI and from the command line. The options are generally the same. The command line provides us the ability to automate the blackout by using the command line utility in our maintenance scripts…
Let's take a closer look at narrowing down the scope of a rule. The use case I normally hear is, we have some important jobs, databases, etc. that we want alarms for, but we don't want alarms for the other non-important ones.
Exclusion lists can…
In this post, we looked at a simple way to adjust the global threshold for an alarm. We'll build on that now. What if we have a 1:n relationship between, for example, an instance and databases, jobs, etc.?
A common request is to set a different threshold…
I usually tell Foglight customers that there are going to be multiple ways to do something to reach an end goal.
If you want to adjust the global threshold for an alarm, a very easy way is to click on the alarm as it happens, and go to the Source tab.
…A few years ago, I wrote this blog detailing how to get host services created on the Hosts dashboard to show up in the Service Operations Console.
Creating a service via the Hosts dashboard is quick and easy.. but the service definition is simply the…
Depending on how many databases, hosts, etc. that you wish to monitor, the JVM memory settings for the Foglight Agent Manager (Fglam) may need to be adjusted.
There is a way to do this from the Foglight UI. Navigate to Administration -> Agents -> Agent…
Suppose you were on your way to the cloud when the Shortcut Cab pulled up in front of you. What would you do?
“Hop in, Mac!” the driver would say. “I’ll take you right to the cloud. I know all the shortcuts.”
“Hmm,” you might…
A UI Query can be used to add either static or dynamic components to a service definition via the Service Builder dashboard. This in turn offers a
great range of additional things Foglight can do. This post will introduce creating a service definition…
A UI Query can be used as a shortcut to building a custom dashboard or report. This can save time and frustration by publishing either frequently accessed or hard to find data in an easy to use spot.
In my Introduction to UI Queries post, the building of…
A UI Query can be used as an input to a report. This can simplify and offer a broader range of inputs when running or scheduling a report.
For a refresher on creating UI Queries, this post covers the basics.
WCF reports have inputs in order to properly…
In my Introduction to UI Queries post, the building of a simple query to return all SQL Server Agent Jobs was shown.
Let's back up a step, and take a look at where UI Queries can be used in Foglight. This post will be updated with links as the topics…
