Figure 4 Application monitor and views
As shown in Figure 4 , APM supports the following views:
• Application monitor—Provides several different templates which are composed of a set of
application access parameters and configurations. Using these specific templates, APM collects
and analyzes monitor data based on host monitor, class monitor, and custom view.
• Host monitor—Analyzes and assesses the availability and health status of the host on which the
applications run. APM provides host overview and a host monitor list.
• Class monitor—Displays the health status for each class and each application type which is
predefined in APM. An application class includes one or more application types. For more
information, see Table 1 .
• Custom view—Allows you to add several different applications of the monitor index into one view.
This is convenient when you are analyzing service performance.
For more information, see " 3 Monitor management ."
Topology and application group management
Topology is closely related with application group management in APM.
• Topology
APM displays the physical relationship and logical relationship among applications, access
devices, and physical network in a topology. Also, APM displays the availability and health status
of applications in the topology. Typically, directly related applications are used together to
provides a single service. For example, a website service can use the following applications: Linux,
Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These applications are related with each other and any failure among
them can affect the service operation. The topology visualizes the physical relationship and logical
relationship among applications, access devices, and physical network. This is convenient for
operators to promptly locate problems and evaluate affected areas to save problem solving time.
• Application group management
Application group management allows operators to organize applications monitors into several
groups by function or purpose and assign management authorities for the application monitor
groups to different application administrators. Application group management simplifies the
topology by displaying only the applications of the specified group rather than all applications.
