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

52
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 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 the Windows operating system 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. Operators can view the dependencies between
applications in the dependency 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 specified, APM adds the application monitor without
verifying the connection.
5. Click OK.
Modifying a Windows application monitor
Operators can modify all parameters except the IP address of a Windows application monitor. When
the IP address of a Windows 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 modify a Windows 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 Windows application monitor you want to modify.
The page for modifying the Windows application monitor appears.
4. Modify the following parameters for the application monitor:
 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 the 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
 Monitor Type—Select the protocol (SNMP or WMI) through which APM monitors the
application, and then click the Configure link to configure related parameters.
SNMP parameters
 Edit SNMP Parameters—Select this option if you want to manually configure SNMP
parameters for APM. Make sure the SNMP settings are the same as those on the Windows
host.
