Modifying a DNS service application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a DNS service application monitor. If the
IP address of a DNS 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 DNS service application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
3. Click the Modify icon for the DNS service application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying a DNS 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 a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 IP Address—The field cannot be modified.
 Host—Modify the domain name.
 Record Type—Select a record type for the domain name. Available options include AAAA,
CNAME, MX, SOA, A, SPF, NS, SRV, TXT, and PTR. For more information about record types,
see Table 8.
 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 DNS 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 remove dependencies between the DNS service 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 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.
