and fix them quickly. vFoglight correlates data from multiple perspectives into a single
version of the truth to provide deep insight into the service relationships that exist
between end users, the business and infrastructure components. Its unique adaptive
technology rapidly adjusts to change for improved application performance and service
levels, reduced operational cost and risk, and enhanced visibility for all stakeholders.

Installation and Setup Guide
What is vFoglight?
vFoglight is a powerful system and application performance management solution that
detects problems and alerts information technology managers. vFoglight has the ability
to dynamically create unique data schemas based on any data from any source. Rather
than store data based on how it is collected by the agents, vFoglight organizes data
based on your perception of the data. Using vFoglight, application and information
technology managers can understand user service levels and notify stakeholders when
those service levels are violated.
vFoglight helps you to:
• Focus on system and application availability and performance.
• Observe system capacity and efficiency.
• Identify and bridge gaps between business and information technology staff.
• Highlight historical information for planning and reporting.
