 IP Address—Cannot be modified.
 Name—Modify the unique application monitor name. HP recommends using Application
name_host IP address for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Modify a description for the application monitor.
 Port—Modify the HTTP port used by SOAP-based Web service.
 Traffic Collection Port—Modify the port used by the RESTful Web service to provide services.
This field appears only after at least one probe is configured for APM.
 Polling Interval (min)—Select a polling interval for the application monitor. Available options
include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30. The default polling interval is 5 minutes. A shorter polling
interval provides more accurate real-time data, but consumes more system resources.
 Username/Password—Modify the username and password used to access the SOAP-based
Web service if the service requires identity authentication.
 Path—Modify the URL of the SOAP-based Web service. Do not include the IP address or port
information in the URL. APM determines whether the SOAP-based Web service is available by
accessing the specified URL.
 Contact—Modify the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone
number. The default is the username of the operator who created the application monitor.
 Related Applications—Modify the applications that the SOAP-based Web service depends on.
Click Add, and then select applications in the popup Select Applications window. Operating
system applications, such as Windows, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HP-UX, Solaris, Mac OS, and
Linux, cannot be selected. APM automatically adds the dependencies between the SOAP-based
Web service and operating system applications by IP address and displays their dependencies
in the application topology. To remove dependencies between the SOAP-based Web service
and one or more applications, select the target applications in the Related Applications box
and click Delete.
 Detect Application—Select this parameter if you want to enable application detection.
Application detection enables APM to verify connection to the application by using the previous
parameter settings, and to determine whether to modify the application monitor based on the
verification result. APM modifies the application monitor only when it can connect to the
application. When this parameter is not selected, APM modifies the application monitor without
verifying the connection.

Viewing the SOAP-based Web service application monitor
report
After adding the SOAP-based Web service application monitor, APM collects application index data to
calculate its availability and health status. Obtain monitor indexes for the SOAP-based Web service by
viewing the monitor report.
To access the SOAP-based Web service application monitor report:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page displays all application monitors.
