Table 4: Application Signature Fields (continued)

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".
