 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 DNS service 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 DNS service 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 selected, APM adds the application monitor without
verifying the connection.

Modifying a DNS service application monitor
Authorized users can modify all parameters except the IP address of a DNS service application monitor.
When the IP address of a monitored DNS host changes, authorized users 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 a DNS service 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 DNS service application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying a DNS service application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters for the application monitor:
 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.
 Traffic Collection Port—Modify the DNS service port. The default value is 53, including TCP 53
and UDP 54. This field appears only when at least one probe is configured for APM.
 Host—Modify the domain name.
 Record Type—Select a record type for the domain name. Available options include AAAA,
CNAME, MX, SOA, A, SPF, NS, SRV, TXT, and PTR. For more information about record types,
