15 LDAP service monitor
APM supports monitoring the following LDAP services:
• Active Directory service
• LDAP service
This chapter describes how to add and modify LDAP service application monitors and helps you view
relevant monitor reports.
Active Directory service
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed based on Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) to run on the Windows Server operating systems. Administrators can easily locate the objects
stored in the AD.
APM supports monitoring the running status of the AD service. This section describes how to add and
modify the application monitor for the AD service and helps you view the monitor report.
Adding an AD service application monitor
APM monitors the AD service through WMI. When you add an AD application monitor, make sure the
following requirements are satisfied:
• The hosts running AD must be added to the IMC Platform. For information about adding hosts to
the IMC Platform, see IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide for the chapter on resource
management.
• APM must be installed on a Windows host that uses the SQL Server or MySQL database, and
provide the host administrator username and password.
To add an AD service 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 click Add on
the application monitor list page.
3. Click Active Directory of the LDAP Service Monitor class.
The page for adding an AD service application monitor appears.
4. Configure 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—Click Select and select the host where the AD service to be monitored is located
in the Select Devices window.
