The following parameters to be configured vary with authentication modes.

 Super Password—Enter the super password with which a Telnet user can elevate privileges
after login.
 Timeout (1-60 seconds)—Enter the maximum time period that APM waits for a Telnet
response from Mac OS. The value range is 1 to 60 seconds and the default is 4 seconds.
If no Telnet response is received from Mac OS within the timeout time, APM considers that
the interaction has failed.
SNMP parameters
 Edit SNMP Parameters—Select this option if you want to manually configure SNMP
parameters for APM. Make sure the SNMP settings are the same as those on Mac OS.
 Select an Existing Template—Select this option if you want to select an existing SNMP
template for APM. For information about setting SNMP parameter templates, see HP IMC
Base Platform Administrator Guide.
 Parameter Type—Select the SNMP parameter type. Options include SNMPv1, SNMPv2c,
and SNMPv3 Template. The SNMPv3 Template option is available only when Select an
Existing Template is selected.
 Read-Only Community String—Enter the SNMP read-only community string, with which
APM can read MIB variables from the Mac OS host.
 Read-Write Community String—Enter the read-write SNMP community string, with which
APM can read MIB variables from or write MIB variables to the Mac OS host.
 Timeout (1-60 seconds)—Enter the maximum time period that APM waits for an SNMP
response from Mac OS. The value range is 1 to 60 seconds and the default is 4 seconds.
If no SNMP response is received from Mac OS within the timeout time, APM considers that
the interaction has failed.
 Retries (1-20)—Enter how many times APM retries to send SNMP packets to the Mac OS
host.
 Contact—Enter user 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 Mac OS 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. The overall dependencies between applications can be viewed 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 selected, APM adds the application monitor without
verifying the connection.
