Foglight

Learn how to connect Foglight to ZigiOps. Supported versions, API token creation, authentication options, and connected system configuration.

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?

Confirm the prerequisites of the corresponding integration template before continuing further, as some templates may not require all environmental prerequisites.

See the Related Templates section at the end of this page.

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.

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.
