The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
 Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and click Add on
the application monitor list page.
3. Click LDAP of the LDAP Service Monitor class.
The page for adding an LDAP service application monitor appears.
4. Configure 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 host on which the LDAP service application will be
monitored in the Select Devices window.
 Port—Enter the port that the LDAP service uses. The default is TCP port 389.
 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 LDAP username.
For example, if user test in the domain imc.com belongs to Organization Unit (OU) apm, you
must enter cn=test, ou=apm, dc=imc, dc=com for Username. The username format varies with
LDAP products. For more information, see the relevant product manual.
 Password—Enter the password of the LDAP user.
 Search Filter—Enter the criteria for filtering queried entries. For example, if you enter cn=*,
entries with any name are displayed. You can set the AND or OR relationship between
multiple criteria. The AND or OR relationship setting varies with LDAP products. For more
information, see the relevant product manual.
 Search Base—Enter the basic directory for query. For example, if you enter ou=apm, dc=imc,
dc=com, APM queries only entries of OU apm in the domain imc.com.
 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 LDAP 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.
