Hi,
I am looking for an explination or documentation on how Foglight retrives data from the clients. I know the retentions and how to set them up, but where is that data stored? How much data is stored on the clients and is that data stored in memory or in s file? If it's pulled to the FMS, how often is that pulled across the network? Are all clients pulled at once? Is that configurable?
For instance, we currently monitor SQL Server databases and also use the Windows-base cartridges for OS monitoring. I have fglams on each client for the Windows OS and standalone SQL Server clients (SQL clusters are monitored via FMS). My question is, when I view the data via the dashboards, where is that data coming from? Is it retained on the client and if so, for how long? Or is it pulling that data from the FMS MySQL database? Is there a place in Foglight where I can view the settings for this?
Thanks,
Paul
