APM communication management

APM monitors applications using different protocols and technologies. It predefines one or multiple of the

following methods for each type of application monitors:

 SNMP—Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is supported broadly by operating systems

and network devices. APM collects host monitor index information through the SNMP Agent which

is deployed in the host. The default SNMP Agent listening port is UDP 161. The default listening port

cannot be modified.

 CLI—Command-Line Interface (CLI) allows you to interact with APM using Telnet or SSH to collect

target monitor indexes using command lines. To Telnet, the default listening port is TCP 23, and to

SSH, it is TCP 22. Basically, CLI is used to monitor the UNIX and Linux system.

 WMI—Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a core management technology that

permits APM to collect monitor indexes from applications such as a Windows operating system,

IIS, .NET server, and AD directory. The default listening port is TCP 135.

 JMX—Java Management Extensions (JMX) provides a platform for managing applications, devices

and systems. APM collects Tomcat and JBoss monitor index information using JMX. The default

listening port is TCP 1009.

 Other—APM can collect the database monitor indexes by applications service interfaces. APM is

able to connect to databases and execute SQL statements to query monitor indexes from databases

through their service ports.

APM monitor features

APM provides operators with the following functions to monitor the applications:

 Application monitor management—Manages all monitored applications.

 Topology and application group management—Displays dependencies between monitored

applications in various topologies and manages the monitored applications in application groups.

 Configuration management—Allows operators to configure parameters for application monitoring.

 Widget management—Allows operators to add APM widgets to the IMC homepage and to

configure widget settings.

Application monitor management

One of the functions that APM uses to monitor applications is through the application monitor

management function. Once collected, the information can be displayed in different views based on

your needs.
