Aggregation rule fields and their descriptions

Field

Description

Rule

Rules can be simple or complex, and are based on types that can be added to or deleted from the

 

rule. Possible type values used to construct a rule include:

 

•

Or

 

 

Can contain a list of one or more And, Or, User, Group, Path or Cmdline values.

 

 

Effect: Any one of the rules within this statement can be true to match a process to the application.

 

•

And

 

 

Can contain a list of one or more And, Or, User, Group, Path or Cmdline values.

 

 

Effect: All of the rules within this statement must be true to match a process to the application.

 

•

User

 

 

Supply the user name associated with the process. In addition to literal names, regular expressions

 

 

are allowed.

 

 

Effect: Make matching to a process dependent on a particular user.

 

•

Group

 

 

Supply the group name of the process. Regular expressions are allowed.

 

 

Effect: Make matching to a process dependent on a particular group.

 

•

Path

 

 

Supply the executable path of the process. Regular expressions are allowed.

 

 

Effect: Make matching to a process dependent on a particular executable path.

 

•

Cmdline

 

 

Supply the command line arguments used to start the process. Regular expressions are allowed.

 

 

Effect: Make matching to a process dependent on a particular command line argument.

NOTE: If you want to define your application based on specific ownership, path, or command line arguments, you can check the “Unmatched processes” table on a particular host screen or the “Processes not matched by this template” table on a template editing screen to get this information. See Filling in aggregation rule fields using table data for tips on finding specific process attributes for this purpose.

For an example of how to build an application template rule for aggregating processes into an application, see “Create a process aggregation rule” (page 30).

Create an application template rule

Application Discovery provides a set of options and fields that help you to define a valid application template rule. The rule you create governs discovery of the application that you have defined. You can create rules that apply generally or specifically to a process, user, or group.

Create a process aggregation rule

An aggregation rule is one in which you designate one or more characteristics in order to collect the associated process or processes into an application that can be matched by Application Discovery.

The following procedure assumes that you have opened an application template and are ready to edit the Aggregation Rules form.

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.
