 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 requires higher performance.
 Monitor Type—Select a monitor type for the application monitor. Available options include
CLI and SNMP.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
 Related Applications—Click Add. The Select Applications window appears. Select the
applications that Linux depends on, and click OK. You cannot select operating system
applications, such as Windows XP, Windows Server, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HP-UX,
Solaris, Mac OS, and Linux. You can view the dependencies between applications in a
topology view.
 Detect Application—Enable or disable 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. If you do not select this
parameter, APM will add the application monitor without verifying the connection.
5. Click OK.
Modifying a Linux application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a Linux application monitor. If the IP
address of a Linux host that is being monitored changes, operators must add a new application monitor
for the host. However, the new application monitor cannot inherit the history data from the previous
application monitor.
To modifying a Linux application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
3. Click the Modify icon for the Linux application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Linux application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters for the application monitor:
 Name—Modify the application monitor name, which must be unique in APM. HP
recommends that you use the Application name_host IP address format to name the
application monitor.
 Description—Modify a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 IP Address—This field cannot be modified.
 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 requires higher performance.
 Monitor Type—Select a monitor type for the application monitor. Available options include
