Create an application workload in HP Matrix OE visualization

The following procedure illustrates the case where an application manager wants to create an application-based workload using processes discovered by Application Discovery , but that are not currently recognized as an application by either Application Discovery or Matrix OE visualization.

Prerequisites:

You must have “Matrix OE All tools” authorization to modify template attributes. (See “User authorizations” in Matrix Operating Environment help for a discussion of tool box permissions for Application Discovery and Matrix OE visualization.)

The processes that you want to include in the workload must be running on the system where you are creating the workload.

NOTE: You can create monitored workloads on HP-UX. Only whole-OS workloads are supported on systems running Linux.

1.Start by creating a workload in HP Matrix OE visualization.

To get to HP Matrix OE visualization, select ToolsHP Matrix OE visualization on the top menu bar.

The HP Matrix OE visualizationVisualization tab opens.

2.Click CreateWorkload Definition... on the Visualization tab. The Create Monitored Workload Definition screen opens.

3.Choose a system, and type a workload name and description.

4.Specify the Workload Definition Criteria to be 'by application' in the drop down.

5.Optional: Select “Show All Running Applications” to see all currently discovered applications on the selected system.

6.Click the Create/Edit Application Template... link.

The AD Templates tab opens in the Application Discovery user interface.

7.Click Create new AD template.

A new application template opens for editing.

8.Fill in the Application Identity, the System Scope, the Separation Rules, and the Aggregation Rules.

9.Click Submit.

10.Click OK in the dialog box to confirm the template submission. The new template displays.

11.Optional: Click the Admin/ConfigAD Agents tab to see what the process interval is for the target system of this application template.

Assuming that the process interval is 5 minutes, that is the length of time to wait until Application Discovery finds the new template to match to running processes on the target system.

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.
