Foglight for Virtualization, Standard Edition: Installation and Configuration Guide 13

Chapter 1—Installing Foglight for Virtualization, Standard Edition

After the package has been copied to the RHEVM server, log onto the console as root,

change to the user directory of the account you used in the previous step, and run the

following command:

#yum locallinstall rhevm-image-uploader-3.0.0_0000-0.noarch.rpm

Substitute the current package number and version in place of 3.0.0_0000-0.

After the utility has been installed, edit the file /etc/rhevm/imageuploader.conf and set the

correct values for

user, passwd, and rhevm.

Using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports functionality depends on the presence of

the history database, which is installed separately. Both the history database and the Red Hat

Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports are optional components. They are not installed by

default when you install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

Install Required Packages

Use yum to initiate installation of the rhevm-reports-dwh package, or the rhevm-reports

package if you also intend to install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports. You must

run this command as the root user on the system hosting the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization

Manager.

To install both the data warehouse package and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager

Reports package, run the following command:

# yum install rhevm-reports

Confirm Package Installation

The required packages are downloaded. After all the packages have been downloaded they are

listed for review. You are prompted to confirm that you want to continue with the installation.

Confirm the operation.

Yum installs the packages. Some further configuration is required before the

reports functionality can be used.

Configure History Database

You need to use the rhevm-dwh-setup command to configure the Extract, Transform, and Load

(ETL) process, and the database scripts used to create and maintain a working history database.

You must run this command as the root user on the system hosting the Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization Manager.

# rhevm-dwh-setup

For the history database installation to take effect it is necessary to restart the jbossas service. The

rhevm-dwh-setup command prompts you to confirm whether to stop the JBoss service. Type yes

and press Enter.

The

jbossas service is stopped, and the rhevm_history database is created and configured.

Finally, the

jbossas service is restarted.

After this process is complete, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is configured to log

information to the

rhevm_history database for reporting purposes. The rhevm_history database
