Creating and Configuring

Application Signatures

The Application Signature Configuration Interface that is included with Application Connectivity Monitor enables administrators and integrators to create and configure application signatures. Application Connectivity Monitor uses the signatures to discover and monitor applications in the managed topology.

This chapter details how to use the interface to create and configure signatures, and includes the following sections:

•Using the Application Signature Configuration Interface

•Specifying Monitoring Action Parameters

•Specifying System Name Patterns

•The Standard Discovery Probe

•The Standard tcpAction

•Removing Topology Elements

Using the Application Signature Configuration Interface

For Application Connectivity Monitor, the Domain Manager Administration

Console, which is accessed from the Global Console, includes an

Application Signature tab.
