Application Discovery 7.2 User Guide

Once you apply the application template, a short time passes while Application Discovery attempts
to match the newly edited application to discovered processes currently running in the network.
As matching completes, applications matching this template description appear in the table called
“Applications effected by this template” (below the template summary boxes). See related note.
Key to application template values
The tables on this page provide the definitions for the editable fields in Application Discovery (AD)
templates.
Application identity and system scope fields
These fields let you provide unique identifiers for the template itself. These fields also include options
for restricting the application definition to a particular operating environment.
Separation rule fields
These fields let you set limits on how many users and how many processes can be associated with
the template. You can also set visibility of the resulting application in Application Discovery screens.
Aggregation rule fields
These fields let you build a rule that describes the process constituents for the resulting application.
Regular expressions are allowed in these fields when designating user, executable path, and
command line arguments.
Constructing regular expressions:
Application Discovery recognizes regular expressions constructed using Perl 5 or POSIX syntax
and semantics. To learn more, consult PCRE - Perl Compatible Regular Expressions at http://
