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

239
 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 port number for the application monitor. The default is TCP 5000.
 Traffic Collection Port—Modify one or more service port numbers for Sybase. 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—Modify the username of the Sybase administrator.
 Password—Modify the password of the Sybase administrator.
 Contact—Modify 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—Modify the applications that Sybase 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 Sybase and operating system
applications by IP address and displays their dependencies in the application topology. To
remove dependencies between Sybase and one or more applications, select the target
applications in the Related Applications box and click Delete.
 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 modify the application monitor based on the
verification result. APM modifies the application monitor only when it can connect to the
application. When this parameter is not specified, APM modifies the application monitor
without verifying the connection.
5. Click OK.
Viewing the Sybase application monitor report
After adding the Sybase application monitor, APM collects application index data to calculate its
availability and health status. Obtain monitor indexes for Sybase by viewing the monitor report.
To access the Sybase application monitor report:
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 link identifying a Sybase application monitor.
The monitor report of the Sybase application appears, as shown in Figure 190. For information
about the icons in the monitor report, see "2 Quick start." This section describes the fields in each
area of the monitor report.
