2.
Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page appears.
3. Click the Modify icon for the Exchange 2003 application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Exchange Server 2003 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 parameter 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.
 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. To remove dependencies between Exchange
Server 2003 and one or more applications, select the target applications in the Related
Applications box and click Delete. 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 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.
