 IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the Sybase 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
start." APM automatically checks the specified IP address and associates the application
monitor with the host managed in the IMC Platform.
 Name—Enter a unique application monitor name. HP recommends using Application
name_host IP address for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Enter a description for the application monitor.
 Port—Enter the port number for the application monitor. The default port is TCP 5000.
 Traffic Collection Port—Enter one or more service port numbers for Sybase. To set multiple ports,
separate the port numbers by commas. This field appears only when at least one probe is
configured for APM.
 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 consumes more system resources.
 Username—Enter the username of the Sybase administrator.
 Password—Enter the password of the Sybase administrator.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
The default is the username of the operator who created the application monitor.
 Related Applications—Configure the applications that Sybase depends on. Click Add, and
then select applications in the popup Select Applications window. Operating system
applications, such as Windows, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HP-UX, Solaris, Mac OS, and Linux,
cannot be selected. APM automatically adds the dependencies between Sybase and operating
system applications by IP address and displays their dependencies in the application topology.
 Detect Application—Select this parameter if you want to enable 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. When this parameter is not specified, APM adds the application monitor without
verifying the connection.

Modifying a Sybase application monitor
Authorized users can modify all parameters except the IP address of a Sybase application monitor.
When the IP address of a monitored Sybase 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 modifying a Sybase 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 Sybase application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Sybase application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters:
