HP Intelligent Management Center v5.2 Application Performance Manager Administrator Guide

209
 Database Instance Name—Enter the instance name for the stand-alone mode, or enter the
service name for the rac mode.
 Username—Enter the user of the Oracle administrator. If the username is sys, enter "sys as
sysdba" in this field.
 Password—Enter the password of the Oracle administrator.
 Contact—Enter 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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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.
5. Click OK.
Modifying an Oracle application monitor
Authorized users can modify all parameters except the IP address of an Oracle application monitor.
When the IP address of the Oracle 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 an Oracle application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Click Application Management > 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 Oracle application monitor you want to modify.
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 a description for the application monitor.
 Port—Modify the service port number for Oracle, 1521 by default.
 Traffic Collection Port—Modify the service port number for Oracle. 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.
 Monitor Mode—Select the Oracle running mode. Available options include stand-alone and
rac.
