FreeBSD
FreeBSD's performance and stability can greatly affect the performance of applications or services
running on it. APM provides the ability to monitor FreeBSD 8.2 or later versions of the operating system.
Adding a FreeBSD application monitor
APM monitors FreeBSD operating systems through CLI. When you add application monitors for FreeBSD,
follow these guidelines:
Enable Telnet or SSH on FreeBSD. For more information, see the FreeBSD configuration guide.
Obtain the correct username and password of the Telnet or SSH user who has the FreeBSD
administrator's privileges
To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the FreeBSD application, make sure at least one
probe is configured in APM. After a FreeBSD application monitor is added, APM sends the IP
address of the monitored FreeBSD application to the probes for traffic collection.
To add a FreeBSD application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
Select Application Manager > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and then click Add
on the application monitor list page.
3. Click FreeBSD of the UNIX Server Monitor class.
The page for adding a FreeBSD application monitor appears.
4. Configure the following parameters:
IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the FreeBSD application to be monitored
is installed. If the host is already added to the IMC Platform, you can also click Select and select
the host in the Select Devices window. For information about selecting a host, see "2 Quick
