Has any work been done around running Foglight, FglAM, and Agents in Docker Containers?

I'm investigating the advantages of running some parts of Foglight from Docker Containers (mainly the FglAM/Agents).

Is there any documentation for setting up and running Remote FglAMs/Agents in Docker Containers?  Can it be done?  Advantages/Disadvantages?  Can I point a containerized FglAM to an FMS running in a standard VM?

  • Hi,

    Yes, great question. We don't have formal documentation, but a former colleague worked on a project in 2016 to figure out how Foglight and Docker work together. The search link below should return a number of his posts. The short answer is that we were expecting there to be a lot of configuration, customization, etc. to get it to work, when it was actually quite straight-forward. As long as the OS in the container is supported by Foglight, it should work pretty much as a 'normal' OS would.
