2 C omponen ts and C oncepts Appli cation Dis cov ery Com ponents Application Discovery contains these components: • The Application Discovery agent , which discov ers the presence of applications and processes on a managed system, collects information about the managed system and its applications, and communicates that information to the Applica[...]

NO TE: An application inventory in a data center or enterprise setting is sensitive material. Therefore, all communication paths in Application Discovery are encrypted and authenticated to check for proper user authorization. See VSE Management Software V ersion 4.0 Installation and Update Guide for HP-UX for information about steps that must be ta[...]

Figur e 2- 1 Segment of Proces s Inv entory Data For example, if the discov ery ratio is low , the number of processes that HP Application Discovery is matching to templates is low . Because more data can be gathered from known relationships, a low ratio indicates that much less can be known and display ed for the processes that are using resources[...]

• Install an HP Application Discovery agent in order to monitor processes and applications on that host. See VSE Management Software V ersion 4.0 Installation and Update Guide for HP-UX for instructions. • Start an agent on a system where the agent is installed, but not running. • Modify the behavior of an agent on a system to affect data fre[...]

On HP -UX: Supplied templates are stored in /var/opt/amgr/templates/amgr/ to make it easier to update templates with new releases of HP Application Discovery . New application templates provided by HP can replace templates in this directory . Copies of these templates, which are stored in /var/opt/amgr/templates/local/ , are unaffected by release u[...]

On the AD Server tab screen, you can see a graphic display of Application Discovery memory consumption plotted against discovery data for processes and packages. The following figure is an example of what you might see: The key to the graphic is as follows: Memory usage by the Application Discovery serv er Used mem Maximum memory available for use [...]

3 Pr ocedur e s W ith Application Discovery , you can perform the following tasks: • Check the progress of discovery . • Define an application for discovery . • Modify the behavior of agents running on managed systems. • Set attributes that determine what events to display , where to display them, and the priority they should have. S tartin[...]

Use "Send to SIM" to show the event type in HP Systems Insight Manager event tables as well as Application Discovery ev ent tables. 3. Click Submit to save the ch[...]

NO TE: HP supplies a default set of application templates with Application Discov ery . Editing one of these templates does not actually change the original template. Instead, the original is automatically copied for editing. On HP-UX When you edit and sav e changes to an HP-supplied application template, the resulting values are stored as /var/opt[...]

NO TE: My application does not appear in the "Applications affected..." table. Why? There are several possible explanations for this to occur: • It takes some time for template matching to complete. Action: W ait a couple of minutes to see whether or not matching occurs. For a more precise indicator of the matching interv al (and theref[...]

Constructing Regular Expres sions: HP Application Discovery recognizes regular expressions constructed using P erl 5 or POSIX syntax and semantics.
