 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 used to access the RESTful Web
service if the service requires identity authentication.
 Path—Enter the URL of the RESTful Web service. Do not include the IP address or port
information in the URL. APM determines whether the RESTful Web service is available by
accessing the specified URL.
 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 the RESTful Web service 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 a RESTful Web service application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a RESTful Web service application
monitor. If the IP address of a RESTful Web service host that is being monitored changes, operators must
add a new application monitor for the host.
To modify a RESTful Web service application monitor:
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 Modify icon for the RESTful Web service application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the RESTful Web service 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 listening port of the RESTful Web service on the Web server.
 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.
