 To monitor the Solaris application through CLI or SNMP, enable and configure Telnet, SSH, or
SNMP on Solaris. For information about enabling Telnet, SSH, or SNMP on Solaris, see the Solaris
configuration guide.
 To monitor the Solaris application through CLI, obtain the correct username and password of the
Telnet or SSH user who has the Solaris administrator's privileges.
 To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the Solaris application, make sure at least one probe
is configured in APM. After a Solaris application monitor is added, APM sends the IP address of the
monitored Solaris application to the probes for traffic collection.
To add a Solaris 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 Solaris of the UNIX Server Monitor class.
The page for adding a Solaris application monitor appears.
4. Configure the following parameters:
 IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the Solaris 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 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. The default polling interval is 5 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
Solaris application, and then click the Configure link to configure related 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 Solaris.

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.
