Modifying a Solaris application monitor
Authorized users can modify all parameters except the IP address of a Solaris application monitor. When
the IP address of a monitored Solaris host 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 Mac OS application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page appears.
3. Click the Modify icon for the Mac OS application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Mac OS application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters:
 IP Address—Cannot be modified.
 Name—Modify the unique application monitor name. HP recommends using Application
name_host IP address for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Modify the description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 Polling Interval (min)—Select a polling interval for the application monitor. Available options
include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30, in minutes. A shorter polling interval provides more
accurate real-time data, but consumes more system resources.
 Monitor Type—Select the protocol (SSH, Telnet, or SNMP) through which APM monitors the
Mac OS application, and then click the Configure link to configure related parameters.
SSH parameters
 Edit SSH Parameters—Select this option if you want to manually configure SSH parameters
for APM. Make sure the SSH settings are the same as those on Mac OS.
 Select an Existing Template—Select this option if you want to select an existing SSH
template for APM. For information about setting SSH parameter templates, see HP IMC
Base Platform Administrator Guide.
 Authentication Mode—Select the authentication mode for SSH users. Options include
Password, Private Key, Password + Private Key, Password + Super Password, Private Key +
Super Password, and Password + Private Key + Super Password. The following parameters
to be configured vary with authentication modes.
 Username—Enter the SSH username. The user must have the Mac OS administrator's
privilege.
 Password—Enter the password of the SSH user.
 Private Key File—Enter the directory of the SSH private key file or browse to the file.
 Private Key Password—Enter the password to decrypt the SSH private key file.
 Super Password—Enter the super password with which an SSH user can elevate privileges
after login.
 Port—Enter the SSH port on Mac OS.
 Timeout (1-120 seconds)—Enter the maximum time period that APM waits for an SSH
response from Mac OS. The value range is 1 to 120 seconds and the default is 10 seconds.
If no SSH response is received from Mac OS within the timeout time, APM considers that the
interaction has failed.
