Application Signature Fields | EMC OL-8950-01 specification

Creating and Configuring Application Signatures

The application signature is created in the ACM Domain Manager and is enabled. It is then used to discover the application:

•When discovery is manually invoked with Discover All

•When the next discovery cycle is initiated

•When a new system is added to the topology of the ACM Domain Manager

Enabled Autodetect application signatures can be launched on demand for a given system. To do so, right click on that system in the Domain Manager Administration Console and select Rediscover.

Note: The information required for application signatures should be available to the administrator (or other authorized person) who will define and configure the signatures. If necessary, it can be gathered from the network environment, a common source of information.

In the table, the Port Number, Request, and Response specify the discovery criteria used by the signature. The Application Class and Application Name Prefix entries provide information about the application and specify the class for the application if one is detected.

See The Standard Discovery Probe on page 27 for a discussion of the

Standard Probe.

Table 4: Application Signature Fields

FIELD NAME	DESCRIPTION	REQUIRED/OPTIONAL

Name	The name of the application signature. For a new	Required
	signature, the name must be unique; it cannot be the
	name of an existing application signature.

Enable	Allows you to Enable/Disable the application	Required
	signature during deployment in the ACM Domain
	Manager. Clicking the checkbox enables the
	application signature. The enabled signature will be
	invoked in the next discovery cycle on the hosts
	depending on the host name pattern, or when a new
	host matching the host name pattern is added to the
	topology of the ACM Domain Manager.
