Figure 16 Example “unmatched processes” table

You can sort or filter this table to find processes with which you want to define an application.

TIP:

One way to reduce the amount of “noise” cluttering your tables is to create a template that collects “uninteresting” processes into an application that can be hidden.

Filling in the system scope fields using table data

In the following image, you can see the columns directly relevant to the System Scope fields in an application template (dark gray column headings). By entering a specific operating system (OS), operating system version (OSver), and/or architecture (Arch), you can limit the application of the template to particular systems in your network.

For more details about this part of an application template, see “Application identity and system scope fields and their descriptions” (page 27) .

Filling in the template separation rule fields

In the following image, you can see the columns indirectly relevant to the Separation Rules fields in an application template – pid, ppid, user, sid, and ct. These columns are indirectly relevant because you do not use the actual values in the columns to define the separation rule. Instead, this information is provided to help you decide which attributes are appropriate to select.

For example, when viewing the data in the table, look at the relationships among process IDs, users, and sessions to determine what relationships you want to define in the Separation Rules.

For details about setting attributes in an application template, see “Separation rule fields and their descriptions” (page 28) .

Filling in the aggregation rule fields using table data

In the following image, you can see the columns directly relevant to the Aggregation Rule fields in an application template. By entering one or more users (User), groups (Group), paths (Path), and/or arguments (Cmdline), you can limit the application of the template to particular processes running in your network.

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.
