Windows Server
Windows Server represents a group of server operating systems. Windows Server provides a base
platform for a variety of desktop-oriented applications. To ensure service quality, performance and
stability of Windows Server must be guaranteed. APM monitors and displays Windows Server data,
from which operators can obtain the latest operation status of the concerned Windows Server hosts.
Windows Server that can be monitored includes Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
This chapter describes how to add and modify a Windows Server application monitor, and helps you
view the monitor report.
Adding a Windows Server application monitor
APM can monitor Windows Server through WMI or SNMP. When you add a Windows Server
application monitor, follow these guidelines:
• To monitor a Windows Server host through WMI, first enable and configure WMI for the host (see
the Microsoft Windows Server online help), install APM on a Windows host that uses the SQL
Server or MySQL database, and provide the host administrator username and password.
• To monitor a Windows Server host through SNMP, first enable and configure SNMP for the host
(see the Microsoft Windows Server online help), and configure the SNMP parameters on the IMC
Platform so that APM can obtain the SNMP community string of the host.
• Make sure the target host is already added to the IMC Platform. For information about adding
hosts to the IMC Platform, see IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide for the chapter on resource
management.
To add a Windows Server application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
Select Application Management > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
Select Application Management > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and click
Add on the application monitor list page.
3. Click Windows Server of the Windows Server Monitor class.
The page for adding a Windows Server 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 where the Windows Server operating system is
installed in the Select Devices window. For information about selecting a host, see "xxx."
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.
Monitor Type—Select a monitor type for the application monitor. Monitor types include SNMP
and WMI.
