10 Linux server monitor
APM permits operators to monitor a Linux application. This chapter describes how to add and modify the
Linux application monitor, and how to view the monitor report.
Linux
Linux is a popular open source operating system that has multiple release versions. APM can monitor the
Linux release versions of Ubuntu, RedHat, SUSE, and CentOS. Through monitoring Linux, operators can
view how the operating performance of a Linux server affects network applications on the system.
Adding a Linux application monitor
APM monitors the Linux application through CLI or SNMP. When you add application monitors for Linux,
follow these guidelines:
• To monitor the Linux application through CLI or SNMP, enable and configure Telnet, SSH, or SNMP
on Linux. For information about enabling Telnet, SSH, or SNMP on Linux, see the Linux configuration
guide
.
• To monitor the Linux application through CLI, obtain the correct username and password of the
Telnet or SSH user who has the Linux administrator's privileges.
• To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the Linux application, make sure at least one probe
is configured in APM. After a Linux application monitor is added, APM sends the IP address of the
monitored Linux application to the probes for traffic collection.
To add a Linux application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
{
Select Application Manager > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
{
Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and then click Add
on the application monitor list page.
3. Click Linux of the Linux Server Monitor class.
The page for adding a Linux application monitor appears.
4. Configure the following parameters:
{
IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the Linux application to be monitored is
installed. If the host is already added to the IMC platform, you can also click Select and select
the host in the Select Devices window. For information about selecting a host, see " 2 Quick
start ." APM automatically checks the specified IP address and associates the application
monitor with the host managed in the IMC platform.
{
Name—Enter a unique application monitor name. H3C recommends using Application
name_host IP address for naming the application monitor.
{
Description—Enter a description for the application monitor.
