 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 SMTP 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.
5. Click OK.
Modifying an SMTP application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of an SMTP application monitor. If the IP
address of an SMTP 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 SMTP 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 SMTP application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the SMTP 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—Click Select and select the target host that provides the SMTP service in the Select
Devices window.
 Port—Enter the SMTP service port. The default value is 25.
 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 username and password for identity authentication of SMTP.
 Email Address—Enter a valid email address that is located on the host that provides the SMTP
service. For example, [e-mail]. APM uses the email address to send and receive a test
mail.
 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 SMTP 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.
