# Foglight

### What is Foglight integration in ZigiOps?

Foglight is an enterprise monitoring platform used to collect alarms, metrics, and performance data across applications, databases, and infrastructure.

ZigiOps enables secure, agentless integration between Foglight and ITOM, ITSM, and monitoring platforms. Using ZigiOps, Foglight alarms and monitoring data can be synchronized with downstream systems to support centralized event management and automated incident workflows.

With ZigiOps, Foglight can:

* Send alarms to event management systems
* Trigger incident creation in ITSM tools
* Participate in monitoring-to-resolution workflows
* Integrate without custom scripts or agents

### Which Foglight versions are supported?

Using a supported version is mandatory.

| Product  | Supported Deployment Types | Supported Versions |
| -------- | -------------------------- | ------------------ |
| Foglight | All                        | All                |

### Are there any environmental prerequisites for Foglight?

#### How do I generate an API Token in Foglight?

An API token is required when using token-based authentication.

**Steps:**

1. Log in to your Foglight instance.
2. Navigate to **Administration > Users and Security Management > User Management**.
3. Select the desired user.
4. Click **Set Auth Token**.
5. Store the generated token securely, as Foglight does not store this token.

### How do I connect Foglight to ZigiOps?

#### Foglight - Connected System Configuration

Follow the steps below to add Foglight as a connected system in ZigiOps.

1. Log in to your **ZigiOps** instance.
2. Navigate to **Connected Systems > Add New System > Foglight**.
3. Configure the following parameters:

   Enter the URL of your Foglight instance.\
   Example: `https://foglight.example.com`

   **Authentication Type**\
   Select your preferred authentication method.

   **Username**\
   Enter your Foglight username.

   **Password**\
   Enter the password for the specified user *(required only when Basic authentication is selected)*.

   **API Token**\
   Enter the API token generated earlier *(required only when API Token authentication is selected)*.

   **Proxy Settings (optional)**\
   Enable this option if a proxy server is required for outbound communication.
4. Review the configuration.
5. Click **Save** to store the connected system.

Once saved, Foglight becomes available for use in ZigiOps integration templates.

### What are the most common Foglight integration use cases?

#### Use case 1: Forwarding Foglight alarms to event management platforms

ZigiOps can forward Foglight alarms to event management systems such as OBM, enabling centralized event processing and correlation across monitoring tools.

#### Use case 2: Monitoring-driven incident creation

Foglight alarms can be automatically converted into ITSM incidents, allowing operations teams to respond faster using established service management workflows.

#### Use case 3: Centralized monitoring workflows

By integrating Foglight with downstream systems, ZigiOps enables unified monitoring-to-resolution workflows while maintaining traceability back to Foglight.

### What integration templates are available for Foglight?

ZigiOps provides prebuilt integration templates for Foglight.
