 Enable Event Logging—Enable or disable event logging. With this function enabled, APM
collects Windows Server event logs recorded by the Windows Event Log service.
 Username—This field appears only when you select WMI for Monitor Type. Enter the
username of the administrator who can manage the host.
If the administrator is a domain user, use the domain name\username format.
If the administrator is a local user, use the host name\username or IP address\username
format, or simply use the username.
 Password—This field appears only when you select WMI for Monitor Type. Enter the
password of the administrator.
 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 Windows Server 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 Windows Server application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a Windows Server application monitor. If
the IP address of a Windows Server host changes, operators must add a new application monitor for
the host.
To modify a Windows Server 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 Windows Server application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Windows Server 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.
 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.
 Enable Event Logging—Enable or disable event logging. With this function enabled, APM
collects Windows Server event logs recorded by the Windows Event Log service.
