 Description—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 IP Address—Click Select and select the target host where the Apache server is installed in the
Select Devices window.
 Port—Enter the port through which the Apache server provides Web services. The port is 80
by default.
 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.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
 Related Application—Click Add to the right of the field. The Select Application window
appears. Select the applications that the Apache server depends on, and click OK. Yo u can

you select dependent applications for the Apache server, the operator cannot select operating
system applications, including Windows XP, Windows Server, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
HP-UX, Solaris, Mac OS, and Linux.
 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.

Modifying an Apache server application monitor
When you modify an Apache server application monitor, you can modify all parameters except the IP
address of the Apache server application monitor. If the IP address of the Apache server changes, you
must add a new application monitor for the host. However, the new application monitor cannot inherit
the history data from the previous application monitor.
