NOTE:

My application does not appear in the “Applications effected...” table. Why?

There are several possible explanations for this to occur:

•It takes some time for template matching to complete.

Action: Wait a couple of minutes to see whether or not matching occurs.

For a more precise indicator of the matching interval (and therefore, the likely wait-time), click the Admin/Config tab, then the AD Agents tab, and find the column labeled “Proc intrvl” (Process interval) for the server where you expect the application to be running. The process interval roughly represents the time needed to refresh the matching data.

•There is an error in the template values such that the application described in the template does not match any currently running processes. This can occur when mistakes are made in defining the template.

Action: Double-check your template values and edit as needed.

•There is an error in the template values such that the application described by the template:

◦

◦

overlaps another template (some processes captured by one template are also matched by another template), or

is the same as another template (the rules for the templates differ, but the end result of the template definition captures the same processes).

IMPORTANT: When one template overlaps another, the template that captures the most processes has precedence over competing templates.

A special case of this situation occurs when a template contains empty And or Or rules. A template defined this way, either intentionally or by mistake, will match all processes and will take precedence over all other templates.

Action: Double-check your template values and edit as needed, or remove competing or redundant templates.

•The template is correct, but the application described is not currently running.

Action: Ensure that the application designated in the template is running on the host where you expect it to be.

For more information, see “Data missing in Application Discovery screens” (page 40).

Create a new template

The process for creating a new application template is similar to editing an existing template.

1.To start, click the Admin/Config tab, then the AD Templates tab.

2.Click the Create New AD Template button. The application template editor opens.

3.Fill in the application template values as desired. See “Key to application template values” (page 26).

4.Submit the changes. This action saves the new template under the unique name that you have supplied. (You might need to scroll to the right to see the Submit and Cancel buttons.)

Your new application template immediately appears in the list of all templates that is displayed when you click the Admin/Config tab, then the AD Templates tab. The new template definition is applied the next time that matching is compared to the collected data.

Matrix Operating Environment Software specifications

HP Matrix Operating Environment (MOE) is an innovative software platform designed to deliver efficient management and orchestration of IT resources across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. It provides a comprehensive solution for organizations that require a robust and flexible environment to manage their IT operations seamlessly.

One of the main features of HP MOE is its ability to optimize resource utilization by automating the provisioning and management of infrastructure components. This includes the ability to rapidly deploy servers, storage, and networking resources in a manner that meets the dynamic needs of modern businesses. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort required for manual configurations, enabling IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks.

The software offers a unified management interface that provides visibility into the entire IT environment. Users can monitor performance metrics, track resource allocation, and manage workflows through a single dashboard. This centralized control not only simplifies operations but also enhances decision-making capabilities by providing real-time insights into system health and performance.

Another critical characteristic of HP MOE is its support for both physical and virtual resources. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, making it easier for organizations to adopt virtualization and hybrid cloud strategies. Its compatibility with industry-standard hypervisors allows businesses to leverage their current investments while taking advantage of the benefits of virtualization.

HP MOE incorporates advanced technologies such as automation scripts, APIs, and tools for workload balancing. This technological backbone enables organizations to implement elasticity in their environments, allowing them to scale resources up or down based on demand. The software also supports a service-oriented architecture, facilitating integration with other enterprise applications and systems.

Security is a top priority in the design of HP MOE. The software provides robust security features that ensure data integrity and protect against unauthorized access. This includes role-based access controls, encryption, and compliance reporting, all of which contribute to a secure operating environment.

In summary, HP Matrix Operating Environment Software is a powerful solution that addresses the complexities of managing modern IT resources. Its key features include automation, unified management, support for physical and virtual environments, and strong security measures. With its ability to enhance efficiency and streamline operations, HP MOE is an essential tool for organizations looking to stay competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
