Table 4: Application Signature Fields (continued)
FIELD NAME | DESCRIPTION | REQUIRED/OPTIONAL |
|
|
|
Port Number | The port number on which the application should be | Required |
| actively listening. |
|
| The same port number can be used for multiple |
|
| signatures. However, when the same port is used for |
|
| multiple signatures, the request strings and response |
|
| patterns must be mutually exclusive. For example: |
|
| Signature 1: port 25, response "*Sendmail*" |
|
| Signature 2: port 25, response "*Exchange*" |
|
| If the requests and responses are not different (that is, |
|
| inclusive), the results of the probes are unpredictable. |
|
|
|
|
Request | The command string to send to the application in order | Optional |
| to generate a response from the application. The string |
|
| is sent after a connection on the specified port is |
|
| established. The server response is checked against a |
|
| specified pattern (see "Response" below). |
|
|
|
|
Response | The criteria to check the response message received | Optional |
| while checking the existence of the port number. Wild |
|
| card criteria specification is supported. See Wildcards |
|
| Used By EMC Smarts Software on page 43 for |
|
| additional information. |
|
| The system tries to receive (and match against) |
|
| responses in blocks of 1024 bytes. It reads at least 1 |
|
| line of the server response if a Request was not |
|
| specified, and at least 2 lines of output if a Request |
|
| was specified. If the output includes a |
|
| character (\n), the system reads and matches against |
|
| only 1 line. |
|
|
|
|
Class | The application class of the discovered application. | Required |
| The drop down list includes Software Service and the |
|
| subclasses of Software Service. |
|
|
|
|
Application Name | The prefix to be added to the instance names in the | Required |
Prefix | topology discovered by the signature. |
|
| For example, if the application name Prefix is |
|
| "Apache" the discovered instance name of the |
|
| application will be "SW- |
|
| Apache/frame.company.com" and the display name |
|
| will be "Apache/frame.company.com". |
