4. Modify the following parameters:
 IP Address—Cannot be modified.
 Name—Modify the unique application monitor name. HP recommends that you use
Application name_host IP address for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Modify the description for the application monitor.
 Port—Modify the DMS listening port.
 Traffic Collection Port—Modify the service port number of the Oracle AS. 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 consumes more system resources.
 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 the Oracle AS 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 the Oracle AS and
operating system applications by IP address and displays their dependencies in the application
topology. To remove dependencies between the Oracle AS 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 Oracle AS application monitor report
After adding an Oracle AS application monitor, APM collects application index data to calculate its
availability and health status. Obtain monitor indexes for Oracle AS by viewing the monitor report.
To access the Oracle AS 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 naming the Oracle AS application monitor whose report you want to view.
The monitor report of Oracle AS appears, as shown in Figure 226. 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.
