Foglight Appliance
We have the Foglight VE virtual appliance installed, and it works well communicating to vCenter. We now are looking to get visibility into our windows servers, such as services and events, but Foglight complains it needs the agent to install it into the machine. Makes sense. Dell won't let me download the agent though, as the website says my license doesn't allow it.
So I contact my rep, and they said that since the appliance is Linux based (Suse), it can't look into Windows servers. If I want that, I need to install the foglight server on a windows box. He wasn't entirely sure about that, and asked I call support.
I will, but wanted some insight from this crowd first. Does that seem right to you? Or am I just acting the newbie and getting some terminology mixed up?
thanks!
