Modifying an Apache server application monitor
When you modify an Apache server application monitor, you can modify all parameters except the IP
address of the Apache server application monitor. If the IP address of the Apache server changes, you
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 an Apache server 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 Apache server application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying an Apache server application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters for the application monitor:
 IP Address—This field cannot be modified.
 Name—Modify the unique application monitor name. HP recommends using Application
name_host IP address format for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Modify the description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 Port—Modify the port through which the Apache server provides services.
 Traffic Collection Port—Modify service port numbers for the Apache server. 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 in minutes. A shorter polling interval provides more
accurate real-time data, but consumes more system resources.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
 Related Application—Modify the applications that the Apache server 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 Apache server and
operating system applications by IP address and displays their dependencies in the application
topology. To remove dependencies between the Apache server 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 selected, APM modifies the application monitor without
verifying the connection.

Viewing the Apache server application monitor report
After you add an Apache server application monitor, APM starts collecting index data of the application
to calculate its availability and health status. Through the Apache server application monitor report,
operators can obtain monitor indexes of the application.
