APM can read MIB variables from the Windows host.
 Read-Write Community String—Enter the read-write SNMP community string, with which
APM can read MIB variables from or write MIB variables to the Windows host.
 Timeout (1-60 seconds)—Enter the maximum time period that APM waits for an SNMP
response from the Windows host. The value range is 1 to 60 seconds and the default is 4
seconds. If no SNMP response is received from the Windows host within the timeout time,
APM considers the interaction a failure.

WMI parameters
 Enable Event Logging—Select this parameter if you want to enable event logging. Enabled,
APM collects Windows event logs recorded by the Windows Event Log service.
 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.
 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 Windows operating system 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. Operators can view the dependencies between applications in the
dependency topology. To remove dependencies between the Windows operating system 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 has been specified, APM modifies the application monitor
without verifying the connection.
