Password, Password + Super/Manager Password (No Operator), Username + Password +
Super/Manager Password, No Username + No Password, and Username + No Password.
The following parameters to be configured vary with authentication modes.
 Username—Enter the Telnet username. The user must have the operating system
administrator's privilege.
 Password—Enter the password of the Telnet user.
 Super Password—Enter the super password with which a Telnet user can elevate privileges
after login.
 Timeout (1-60 seconds)—Enter the maximum time period that APM waits for a Telnet
response from the operating system. The value range is 1 to 60 seconds and the default is
4 seconds. If no Telnet response is received from the operating system within the timeout
time, APM considers the interaction a failure.
WMI parameters
 Username—Enter the username of the Windows administrator.
If the administrator is a domain user, use domain name\username.
If the administrator is a local user, use host name\username or IP address\username, or
use username.
 Password—Enter the password of the administrator.
 File Name—Enter the absolute path and name of the file you want to monitor. Use the
C:\pagefile.sys format for Windows, or the /var/log/messages format for Linux and UNIX.
 Contact—Enter 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—Configure the applications that the file 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 file and operating system
applications by IP address and displays their dependencies in the application topology.
 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 add the application monitor based on the
verification result. APM adds the application monitor only when it can connect to the
application. When this parameter is not selected, APM adds the application monitor without
verifying the connection.
5. Click OK.
Modifying a file monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a file monitor. If the IP address of the host
where the monitored file is located changes, operators must add a new application monitor for the file.
However, the new application monitor cannot inherit the history data from the previous application
monitor.
To modify a file monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page displays all application monitors.
