Welcome to Foglight cloud
Welcome to Foglight page serves as the initial dashboard that greets you upon logging into Foglight. Designed to enhance user experience, the Welcome page presents a list of typical tasks, granting quick access to frequently used dashboards. By clicking on a specific task link, the corresponding dashboard associated with the selected task is presented in the display area.
Most dashboards that you can reach from this page can also be accessed from the navigation panel. The collection of dashboards that you can access from the Welcome page depends on the roles associated with your user account. For example, users with the Cloud Administrator role have access to a wider range of dashboards than the users with the Cloud User role. The differentiation in dashboard availability based on user roles ensures that individuals have appropriate access and visibility aligned with their assigned responsibilities within the Foglight environment.
To initiate monitoring of your environment, the first step is to download and install an Agent Manager. If, upon logging in, you notice an orange notification displayed at the top of the Welcome page, it indicates the need to add an FglAM before proceeding further. To add an FglAM, click Go to Agent Managers. For more information about Agent Managers, refer to Installing Foglight Agent Manager.
