This is Golan Shem-Tov, I am a Solution Architect on the Foglight Pre-Sales team, I've decided to write this blog after assisting a customer with adding a Foglight dashboard as a SharePoint web part.

 Foglight Remote Web Part is a compatible Microsoft SharePoint Web Part, which is developed for the remote access to Foglight web console. There are two versions available in Foglight an ASP .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 version.
 
The .NET 1.1 version is located in   ${Foglight Server Home}/tools/foglight-sharepoint-webpart-dotnet-1.cab

The .NET 2.0 version is located in   ${Foglight Server Home}/tools/foglight-sharepoint-webpart-dotnet-2.cab       

Installing the Web part
To add Foglight Web Part you need to user stsadm.exe as explained in this Microsoft article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288254.aspx

  Register the Web part

The instructions about registering Foglight Web Part may change depending on your SharePoint version, these are the instructions for SharePoint 2.0 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287891.aspx 

These are screen snapshots taken from Administrator using SharePoint 3.

- Choose Site setting

- Choose Web Part Galleries

- Click on the "New" Button in the Web Parts page.

 

- Select Quest.Foglight.SharePoint.RemoteWebPart from the list and populate the Galery.

 

The new Web Part will appear in the Gallery.

 

At this point all you have to do is add this web part to a page and configure its settings. 

  • host - the Foglight Server host you would like to connect to.
  • port - the Foglight Server port you would like to connect to.
  • View ID - The Foglight WCF view ID you want to connect to
  •  

  • You can choose a known view like servics ("system:fsmservicesexplorer.56") or alarms ("system:core_alarms.19") or you can get a reference ID of a dashboard from the dashbaord properties 

     

    I hope you find this Blog useful.
