Connectivity Monitor

This chapter describes how to deploy Application Connectivity Monitor, and includes the following sections:

•Planning the Deployment

•License Reminder

•Integrating Application Connectivity Monitor

Planning the Deployment

As you prepare to deploy Application Connectivity Monitor, you should gather and document information about your network infrastructure and the applications that depend on that infrastructure. The information will be important when you verify the discovery of the infrastructure, and configure the signatures that will discover and monitor the applications.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, the supported platforms are Solaris 2.9 and Windows 2000 for the products, configurations, and devices described in this section.
