 Related Applications—Configure the applications that the Windows performance counter
application depend 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 the Windows performance counter application 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.
NOTE:
The performance counters to be monitored are configured in the monitor report of the Windows
performance counter application. You do not need to specify them when adding the application monitor.
Modifying a Windows performance counter application
monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a Windows performance counter
application monitor. When the IP address of a Windows 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 a Windows performance counter application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The application monitor list page displays all application monitors.
3. Click the Modify icon for the Windows performance counter application monitor you want to
modify.
The page for modifying the Windows performance counter 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 the description for the application monitor.
 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—Modify the username of the administrator who can 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.
