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 new-line

 

 

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".
