1 Application Manager overview Application Manager (APM) is a network management software product based on the IMC platform. It is used to monitor various applications in the network. During the monitoring process, APM collects data from the applications and generates an application monitor report that can be used by operators to resolve application performance bottleneck problems, and ensure that network services are available, reliable, and continuous.
Figure 2 An classic APM network architecture Application type management Applications such as operating systems, databases, application servers, services, and middleware, all have different monitor modes in APM. Based on the different applications, APM provides you with corresponding monitor solutions as shown in Table 1. APM continuously collects application index information and displays it in a graphical application report.
Class Type Remarks OpenBSD 4.6 and higher version OpenBSD HP-UX 11.00 and higher version HP-UX Linux Server Monitor Linux SUSE CentOS and so on MySQL 5.x MySQL Oracle 8.x/9i/10g/11g Oracle DB2/NT 8.2.0 and higher version DB2 Database Server Monitor DBQuery is supported on the following databases: DBQuery SQL Server MySQL Oracle DB2 Sybase Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5.2 and higher version Sybase All versions .NET Server JBoss 4.x/5.0.

Class SAP Monitor Type Remarks SAP R/3 4.6c-Redhat SAP APM communication management APM monitors applications using different protocols and technologies. It predefines one or multiple of the following methods for each type of application monitors: SNMP—Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is supported broadly by operating systems and network devices. APM collects host monitor index information through the SNMP Agent which is deployed in the host. The default SNMP Agent listening port is UDP 161.
Figure 3 Application monitor and views As shown in Figure 3, APM supports the following views: Application monitor—Provides several different templates which are composed of a set of corresponding parameters and configurations. Using these specific templates, APM collects and analyzes monitor data based on host monitor, class monitor, and custom view. Host monitor—Analyzes and assesses the availability and health status of the host on which the applications run.
Port Configuration—Allows you to manage the ports through which applications listen to data and provide services. An application might use multiple ports. Probe Configuration—Allows you to configure probes for APM to collect application data and displays the data in monitor reports. Parameter Configuration—Allows you to set APM system parameters, such as data retention periods. For more information, see "5 Configuration management.
2 Quick start This section describes how to monitor applications and view the monitoring report. It is designed for administrators using the APM service component for the first time, or for those planning to add application monitors in batches. Prerequisites Before you monitor an application in APM, complete the following tasks: 1. Obtain general information related to the target application.
a. Click the selection arrow to the left of the device folder to open the device list. The following device lists appear: IP View Device View Custom View b. Click Device View, IP View, Custom View, or a subview. All devices in that view or subview appear in the Devices Found area. By advanced query c. Click the Advanced tab. d. Complete one or multiple of the following fields: Device IP—Input the IPv4 address for the devices you want to query.
8. In the detection result list, click Add to Monitor of the application you want to monitor, and then set the parameters of the application monitor. Application monitor configuration varies with application types. Detailed configuration procedures will be described in subsequent chapters. Different entries in the detection result list might have the same application type or port number.
Figure 4 DNS application monitor report Icon description Health Status—Indicates the evaluation result of the application. This field can display (Healthy), (Minor), (Major), (Critical), or (Unknown). When the application is unhealthy, you can click the icon to analyze the root cause of the application.
Figure 5 Root cause analysis Analyze the information of nodes in yellow, orange and red to identify the potential root causes. APM does not provide the root cause analysis for applications whose availability status is Unavailable, Unreachable, or Unmanaged. For more information about availability and health status, see "3 Monitor management." Refresh icon—Click the Refresh icon to refresh the entire monitoring report page or the data in a specific area.
Figure 7 Monthly History Time Range icon—Indicates the time range based on which the data graph was generated. By default, the Last 1 Hour icon is displayed. Click the icon to select another icon from the list, including Last 6 Hours icon , Today icon , Yesterday icon , This Week icon , This Month icon , and This Year icon . Set Threshold icon—Click the Set Threshold icon to set the alarm thresholds for the application. When a specified threshold is reached, APM will generate an alarm.
yearly data is collected in days. The statistics graph also displays maximum, minimum, and average values.
3 Monitor management Monitor management in APM allows you to collect performance indexes, health statuses, and availability of applications, and provides analysis and statistics reports based on this information in various views. Important concepts and terms in monitor management include: Monitor—Employs a background program to collect application index data by using a set of access parameters and to analyze the health status and availability for the application.
Critical—The application is available and the monitored indexes collected by APM meet the condition of a Level-2 threshold, or the application is unavailable. This health status can trigger a critical alarm. Unknown—The application is inaccessible or unmanaged. This health status is represented by two consecutive hyphens (--) in APM.
3. Availability—Availability of the application. The availability can be (Available), (Unavailable), (Inaccessible), or (Unmanaged). Move the pointer over the icon to view the application availability represented by different colors for the last hour. Health—Health status of the application. The health status can be (Healthy), (Minor), (Major), (Critical), or (Unknown). Move the pointer over the icon to view the application health status represented by different colors in the last hour.
Type of application (Default) Host Speed (bps) Rx (bps) Tx (bps) Traffic (H) In Traffic (H) Out Traffic (H) Traffic (D) In Traffic (D) Out Traffic (D) Availability (Default) Health status (Default) Dependency Topology Management status (Default) Contact The speed, Rx, Tx, and traffic columns appear only when probes are configured for APM. For information about configuring probes, see "Probe Configuration." 4.

Application group management enables operators to manage applications according to different authority levels. The monitoring reports of applications in an application group can be viewed only by operators who have the management privileges to that group.
Tool Description Hides or displays interface numbers of the nodes on the topology. Saves the topology after adjustment. Displays the topology in a bird's-eye view, from which operators can quickly understand the general layout of the topology and locate the current screen of topology in the whole topology map. Operators can click the Hide/Show icon / located to the lower right corner to hide or display the bird's-eye view as needed.

APM activates a critical alarm when the monitor index meets the threshold. Click OK. Port Configuration An application can listen to data and provide services through multiple ports. With these ports, APM finds applications running on the host and reads monitor indexes to calculate traffic statistics.
