Creating and Configuring Application Signatures

Table 4: Application Signature Fields (continued)

FIELD NAME	DESCRIPTION	REQUIRED/OPTIONAL

Monitoring Action	The monitoring action to be used to monitor the	Optional
	discovered application. The default is tcpAction. The
	values for parameters in the monitoring action can be
	specified by clicking the Customize… button. See
	Specifying Monitoring Action Parameters on page 24
	for additional information.
	If <None> is selected in the drop down list, the
	applications discovered by the application signature
	will not be monitored.

System Name Pattern	The system name pattern(s) of the systems against	Required
	which the application signature should be run. The
	values for the pattern(s) can be specified by clicking
	the Customize...button. See Specifying System Name
	Patterns on page 25 for additional information.
	Wild card criteria specification is supported. See
	Wildcards Used By EMC Smarts Software on page 43
	for additional information.
	The default is “*” which means that the system will
	discover a specified application on all systems added
	to the ACM Domain Manager’s topology.

The Port Number, Request, and Response parameters can provide various types of information depending upon the entered values.

If, for example, you only need to know whether you can connect to a specified port, enter that port number.

Port Number <25> (for SMTP)

Request <No Value>

Response <No Value>

If, however, you need to know whether you can connect to a specified port and that the server should respond with a certain pattern, then enter a port number and response string.

Port Number <25>

Request <No Value>

Response <*sendmail*>

Finally, you can enter values for all three parameters to send a request to induce the server to respond with a particular pattern.

Port Number <80> (for a Web Server) Request <GET HTTP/1.0\n\n>

Response <*Server: Apache*> (to detect an Apache Web Server)
