Application Discovery 7.2 User Guide

NOTE:
When creating a workload in Matrix OE visualization, you have the option of checking 'Show All
Running Applications'. In essence, this check box allows you to reveal all running applications that
have been previously marked as hidden in Application Discovery by a user or by default. See
“Add selection by application” in HP Matrix OE Visualization with Logical Servers Help for usage
instructions.
Set visibility for packages on Application Discovery screens
To help you control the amount of data presented to you, Application Discovery provides several
ways to modify the visibility of objects in Application Discovery screens. In addition to modifying
package visibility (discussed here) you can also change the visibility of hosts and applications.
To change visibility of a package:
1. Click the following tabs in Application Discovery: Admin/Config, then Packages.
2. In the table listing all packages, find the column labeled “Visible”.
3. Click the button to toggle visibility of packages on Application Discovery screens to yes (Y)
or no (N). Select N to prevent the package from showing in Application Discovery data tables.
Select Y to allow the package to show in Application Discovery data tables.
Modifying the graphic display of Application Discovery server activity
You can change the time span shown in the graph.
1. Click the Admin/Config tab, then the AD Server tab.
2. Locate the “Graph Controller” to the right of the graph.
3. Click the drop-down arrow to see the time spans from which to choose.
Time periods are given in minutes (m) and hours (h). Choose auto to see the time span from
server startup to now.
The graphic immediately repaints when you change the time span.
The impact of discovery on Application Discovery server memory usage
Memory use might be higher during the initial warmup period when application discovery is at its
height, and lessening over time as the majority of discovery is completed.
Modifying the maximum size of an event list
Prerequisite: You must have “Matrix OE All tools” authorization to set visibility attributes. (See
“User authorizations” in Matrix Operating Environment help for a discussion of tool box permissions.)
To set event list size, do the following steps.
1. Click the Admin/Config tab, then the AD Server tab.
2. Locate the drop-down “Max Events” listed at the bottom of the Server Configuration box to
the left of the graph.
3. Select the maximum number of events to store in the primary event log.
