Foglight Agent Manager Status WCF Dashboard

Intro

This is a Step by Step guide to the creation of a dashboard that should show the status of all your FGLAMs in one place and display performance.

Steps

1. Under the Configuration Page select Definitions

2. Click the green + at the bottom to create a new module and call it "FGLAM Status". Ensure you select the relevant roles you require. If in doubt select all of them.

3. We now need to create 3 functions and 3 views within this module.

4. Select the newly created module and you should now have the option to add views and functions from the drop-down box in the menu below.

return name.tokenize('.')[0].tokenize('-')[0]

def output = []
for (fglam in fglams){
if (fglam.jvm){
lu = fglam.jvm.lastUpdated
duration = now.time - lu.time
if(fglam.agents.size() > 0 && duration < 259200000){
output.add(fglam)
}
}
}
return output.sort{it.jvm.lastUpdated}

Click Save at the top to save the function.

Add a new function with type 'Script with Map' and fill in the fields as follows:

Name: FglamSeverityMap

lu = server.DataService.retrieveLatestValue(fglam.messageCenter, "numIncomingQueueThreads").getEndTime()
tl = 2400000
tl2 = 4200000
duration = now.time - lu.time
if(duration > tl2){
return "red"
} else if (duration < tl2 && duration > tl){
return "yellow"
} else {
return "green"
}

• Any new Fglams that are added to the FMS should automatically be added to this dashboard for you
• You can even add a fancy background if you like as below.
