 IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the Exchange Server 2003 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 format for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 Traffic Collection Port—Enter one or more service port numbers for Exchange Server 2003. To
set multiple ports, separate the port numbers by commas. 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.
 Username—Enter the username of the administrator who is authorized to manage the host.
If the administrator is a domain user, use domain name\username.
If the administrator is a local user, use host name\username or IP address\username, or use
username.
 Password—Enter the password of the administrator.
 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.
 Exchange Service—Select the Exchange services whose status are to be monitored by APM:
 Microsoft Exchange IMAP4
 Microsoft Exchange Event
 Microsoft Exchange Information Store
 Microsoft Exchange Management
 Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks
 Microsoft Exchange System Attendant
 Microsoft Exchange Site Replication Service
 Microsoft Exchange POP3
 Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine
 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
 Related Applications—Configure the applications that Exchange Server 2003 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 Exchange
Server 2003 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.
