 Description—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 IP Address—Click Select and select the target host where Exchange Server 2003 is installed
in the Select Devices window.
 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.
 Username—Enter the username of the administrator who can manage the host.
If the administrator is a domain user, use the domain name\username format.
If the administrator is a local user, use the host name\username or IP address\username
format, or simply use the username.
 Password—Enter the password of the administrator.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
 Exchange Service—Select the Exchange services whose states are to be monitored by APM.
Available services include:
− Microsoft Exchange IMAP4
− Microsoft Exchange Event
− Microsoft Exchange Information Store
− Microsoft Exchange Management
− Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks
− Microsoft Exchange System Attendant
− Microsoft Exchange Site Replication Service
− Microsoft Exchange POP3
− Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine
− Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
 Related Applications—Click Add. The Select Applications window appears. Select the
applications that Exchange Server 2003 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.

Modifying an Exchange Server 2003 application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of an Exchange Server 2003 application
monitor. If the IP address of an Exchange Server 2003 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 modify an Exchange Server 2003 application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
