Modifying an LDAP service application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of an LDAP service application monitor. If
the IP address of the host where the LDAP service is located changes, operators must add a new
application monitor for the LDAP service. However, the new application monitor cannot inherit the
history data from the previous application monitor.
To modify an LDAP 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 LDAP service application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the LDAP service application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters for the application monitor:
 Name—Modify 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—Modify the description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 IP Address—This field cannot be modified.
 Port—Modify the port that the LDAP service uses.
 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.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
 Username—Modify the LDAP username. For example, if user test in the domain imc.com
belongs to 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—Modify the password of the LDAP user.
 Query Filter—Modify 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—Modify 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—Modify 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. To delete applications, select the 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 add the application monitor based on the verification result. APM adds
