3 Procedures and examples

With 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.

Starting Application Discovery

1.Enter your user name and ID into the Systems Insight Manager interface.

2.Accept the certificate required by System Insight Manager.

3.Select Tools→Integrated Consoles→Application Discovery .

Application Discovery opens in the main display panel of the Applications view.

Modifying agent behavior

Use the information in this section to control the Application Discovery agent from the command line and to adapt its behavior to your environment. For ways to manage and monitor the agent from the user interface, see these sections:

•“Setting data polling interval” (page 22)

•“Checking agent state” (page 16)

Install the Application Discovery agent on a managed node

See the Matrix Operating Environment installation and update guide for the appropriate operating system for instructions on how to install the Application Discovery agent via the Systems Insight Manager menus or manually. The Matrix Operating Environment guides are available with the software and at http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.

Start the Application Discovery agent

You can start the agent from the top menu or from the command line.

Using System Insight Manager to start the agent

1.Initiate this task by selecting Configure →Matrix OE Agents→Start AD Agents from the top menu.

2.Using the system list, select the HP-UX systems where you want to start an agent. Click Apply.

3.Verify the system selection and click Next.

4.A description of the action about to take place is displayed. When you are sure that you want to complete the action, click Run now to start the agent.

Starting the agent from the command line

To start the agent from the command line on the managed node, enter the following command:

Matrix Operating Environment Software specifications

HP Matrix Operating Environment (MOE) is an innovative software platform designed to deliver efficient management and orchestration of IT resources across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. It provides a comprehensive solution for organizations that require a robust and flexible environment to manage their IT operations seamlessly.

One of the main features of HP MOE is its ability to optimize resource utilization by automating the provisioning and management of infrastructure components. This includes the ability to rapidly deploy servers, storage, and networking resources in a manner that meets the dynamic needs of modern businesses. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort required for manual configurations, enabling IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks.

The software offers a unified management interface that provides visibility into the entire IT environment. Users can monitor performance metrics, track resource allocation, and manage workflows through a single dashboard. This centralized control not only simplifies operations but also enhances decision-making capabilities by providing real-time insights into system health and performance.

Another critical characteristic of HP MOE is its support for both physical and virtual resources. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, making it easier for organizations to adopt virtualization and hybrid cloud strategies. Its compatibility with industry-standard hypervisors allows businesses to leverage their current investments while taking advantage of the benefits of virtualization.

HP MOE incorporates advanced technologies such as automation scripts, APIs, and tools for workload balancing. This technological backbone enables organizations to implement elasticity in their environments, allowing them to scale resources up or down based on demand. The software also supports a service-oriented architecture, facilitating integration with other enterprise applications and systems.

Security is a top priority in the design of HP MOE. The software provides robust security features that ensure data integrity and protect against unauthorized access. This includes role-based access controls, encryption, and compliance reporting, all of which contribute to a secure operating environment.

In summary, HP Matrix Operating Environment Software is a powerful solution that addresses the complexities of managing modern IT resources. Its key features include automation, unified management, support for physical and virtual environments, and strong security measures.
