start." APM automatically checks the specified IP address and associates the application
monitor with the host managed in the IMC Platform.
 Name—Enter a unique application monitor name. HP recommends using Application
name_host IP address for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Enter a 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—Enter the username of the administrator who is authorized to 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.
 Password—Enter the password of the administrator.
 Contact—Enter user 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—Configure the applications that Office SharePoint 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 Office SharePoint 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 selected, APM adds the application monitor without
verifying the connection.

Modifying an Office SharePoint application monitor
Authorized users can modify all parameters except the IP address of an Office SharePoint application
monitor. When the IP address of a monitored Office SharePoint 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 modifying an Office SharePoint application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
3. Click the Modify icon for the Office SharePoint application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Office SharePoint application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters:
 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.
