2.
Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page displays all application monitors.
3. Click the Modify icon for the Apache server application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying an Apache server application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters for the application monitor:
• Name—Enter 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—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
• IP Address—This field cannot be modified.
• Port—Enter the Apache Web service port. 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. To delete dependent
applications of the Apache server, select the applications that you want to delete in the Related
Application field, and click Delete to the right of the Related Application field. You can view all the
dependent applications of the Apache server in the application topology. When 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 modify the application monitor based on the verification result. APM modifies the
application monitor only when it can connect to the application. If you do not select this
parameter, APM will modify the application monitor without verifying the connection.
5. Click OK.
Viewing the Apache server application monitor report
After you add an Apache server application monitor, APM starts collecting index data of the
application to calculate its availability and health status. Through the Apache server application
monitor report, operators can obtain monitor indexes of the application.
To access the Apache server application monitor report:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page displays all application monitors.
3. Click the name link of an Apache server application monitor whose report you want to view.
The Apache server application monitor report appears, as shown in Figure 169.
