HP 5992-3838 manual Introduction

Have you recently restored or removed and reinstalled the CMS? :

A restore or removal of the central management server also removes the certificate recognition previously established between Application Discovery server on the CMS and Application Discovery agents on managed nodes. This relationship must be re-established when the CMS is reinstalled or restored by completing the Application Discovery certificate exchange.

3.Check that Application Discovery is showing that the discovery ratio is 100%.

a.Click the following tabs in Application Discovery: Admin/Config, then Discovery.

b.Find the following column headings in the data table on this screen. Check that the value for Discovery ratio is 100%.

When the discovery ratio is less than 100%, this may indicate that an inventory is still being taken for that host. Expect the warm-up period for completing the process inventory to take about 20 minutes.

4.Check that any usage of regular expression syntax in the defining application template is correct.

Application Discovery recognizes regular expressions constructed using Perl 5 or POSIX syntax and semantics.

5.Check that any string or regular expression used in the executable path field of the defining application template describes the desired running process.

Application Discovery differs from Global Workload Manager (gWLM) in how it matches user input data to discovered applications. gWLM uses a combination of a fully qualified path and retrieved inode information to find a process on one managed node. Application Discovery does not infer the location of running processes based on the presence or location of installed applications. For broader coverage of all running processes (not just those associated with installed software packages) within a network of machines, Application Discovery matches strings and regular expressions exactly when comparing templates to running processes.

It may help to think of the difference between AD and gWLM this way:

•In AD, an executable and arg[0] are compared directly to one another to make a match.

•In gWLM, the inode of an executable and the inode of arg[0] are compared to one another to make a match.

The following examples demonstrate the different results that you can expect when using the same executable and arguments in Application Discovery as compared to Global Workload Manager (gWLM).
