APM supports monitoring the following services:
 SNMP service
 DNS service
 JavaRuntime
 FTP service
 SFTP service
This chapter describes how to add and modify the application monitors, and helps you view relevant
monitor reports.
SNMP service
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management protocol widely supported by
operating systems and network devices. SNMP MIB uses a hierarchical structure to describe nodes on the
network, each of which is identified by a unique OID. Network management systems can obtain various
index data from devices by reading their OIDs via SNMP. The default SNMP service port is UDP 161.
APM monitors the SNMP service status by reading specific OIDs. This section describes how to add and
modify an SNMP service application monitor, and helps view the monitor report.
Adding an SNMP service application monitor
When you add an SNMP monitor, make sure the following requirements are satisfied:
 SNMP is enabled and configured on the SNMP hosts to be monitored.
 The target SNMP hosts must be added to the IMC Platform so APM can obtain and display network
connections of the hosts and their access devices in the application topology. For more information
about adding devices to the IMC Platform, see HP IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide.
 To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the SNMP service application, make sure at least
one probe is configured in APM. After an SNMP service application monitor is added, APM sends
the IP address of the monitored SNMP service application to the probes for traffic collection.
To add an SNMP service application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
 Select Application Manager > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
