 Password—Modify 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 performance counter
application 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 Windows performance counter application and operating
system applications by IP address and displays their dependencies in the application topology.
To remove dependencies between Windows performance counters 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.
