Use Only Selected Systems

To use this option:

1Specify the System names pattern(s) and click the Apply button. (The example in the figure shows the System names pattern default “*”.) For additional information about matching patterns and the use of wildcard characters in patterns, see Wildcards Used By EMC Smarts Software on page 43.

2Select Use on selected systems.

3The list in the dialog is updated with the systems that match the applied system names pattern.

4Select individual system names from the list and click the OK button.

5The system names pattern is displayed in the System Names Pattern field in the Application Signature tab.

The Standard Discovery Probe

The Standard Probe is a program that, when combined with an application signature that is defined through the Application Signature Configuration Interface, automatically discovers TCP-based applications (based on the Application Class specified in the signatures).

The Standard Probe provides the following functionality:

It creates basic application topology, specified through the Application Signature Configuration Interface for the application.

It sets up monitoring for the discovered application by creating a corresponding check, and instrumenting it with the action specified through the Application Signature Configuration Interface.

When an application signature is set up with the Standard Probe as the probe for the named application, the probe is automatically invoked whenever a new system with matching criteria is added to the topology. The probe then proceeds to create a basic topology application object (SoftwareService) and additional topology information.

The Standard Probe also sets up monitoring for the created application using information in the Monitoring Action of the application signature.

The discovery interval for the probe is set in the Topology tab.
