Skills 101: Foglight Advanced | Custom Monitoring using User-Defined Collections

Tuesday, November 17, 11:00am - 12:00pm (EST)

Foglight covers a lot out of the box, but as environments grow more complex, standard metrics don’t always tell the full story. In this advanced Skills 101 session, we’ll show how User-Defined Collections (UDCs) let you bring custom data into Foglight and turn it into meaningful dashboards, rules, and services.
You’ll see how to:

Create and configure User-Defined Collections
Use SQL queries, intervals, and key vs. metric columns effectively
Understand how Foglight agents collect and store UDC data in the FMS
Build actionable dashboards and alerts from custom data
Handle multi-row and multi-column queries using UI Queries
Design advanced dashboards with richer visualizations

We’ll walk through real-world examples, highlight common pitfalls, explain what’s happening behind the scenes, and leave time for live Q&A.
