8. Click OK.
IMPORTANT: Perform Discovery Data Collection for your inputs to take effect. See ”Step 3 —
Discovering Applications” on page 335.
Deleting Caché Information
If you do not want the management server to monitor a Caché instance, you can remove its
information, as described in the following steps:
1. Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > System Application Discovery Settings.
To select a target, you must have at least one element designated as a server, workstation or
desktop. If you see the message, “No Targets Currently Selected,” change your element from
unknown to either a server, workstation or desktop. See the documentation for HP Systems
Insight Manager. Select a target, and click Run Now.
2. In the Database Information table, click the button corresponding to the Caché instance you
do not want the management server to monitor.
3. Perform Discovery Data Collection to make the management server aware of your changes.
Step 3 — Discovering Applications
This step assumes you have already discovered your hosts and provided discovery information for
your applications. To discover an application, do the following;
• Detect the application (”Step A — Detect Your Applications” on page 335)
• Perform Discovery Data Collection (”Step C — Run Discovery Data Collection” on page 337)
Keep in mind the following:
• This section assumes you have already set up the discovery configurations for your applications
as described in ”Step 2 — Setting Up Discovery for Applications” on page 302.
• If you used a custom password for the APPIQ_USER account, you must change the password on
the Storage Essentials management server before performing Discovery Data Collection. See
”Creating Custom Passwords on Managed Database Instances” on page 303.
• Make sure you have reviewed the table, Table 2 on page 2 to make sure you are at the correct
step.
• If DNS records for your Microsoft Exchange servers are outdated or missing, the discovery of
Microsoft Exchange may fail because Microsoft Exchange is dependant on Active Directory,
which is dependant on DNS. Since Active Directory is dependant on DNS, Active Directory
replication and Active Directory lookups may fail or contain errors if DNS records are not
accurate.
Step A — Detect Your Applications
If you have not already done so, use HP Systems Insight Manager to discover the hosts running the
applications you want to discover. See ”Step A — Set Up Discovery for Hosts” on page 299.
