 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 a POP3 application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a POP3 application monitor. If the IP
address of a POP3 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 a POP3 application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page appears.
3. Click the Modify icon for the POP3 application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the POP3 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.
 Port—Enter the POP3 service port. The default value is 110.
 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/Password—Enter the mailbox username and password.
 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 POP3 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 POP3 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.
