EMC Smarts Application Connectivity Monitor Configuration Guide 3
Application Signature Configuration Interface
Discover the Software Infrastructure
Perform an initial discovery of network topology with Availability Manager
and import the topology and connectivity analysis into Application
Connectivity Monitor.
Then, use Application Connectivity Monitor to discover the software
infrastructure.
• The application signatures automate the process of discovering the
topology and the relationships between the elements.
Automated Root-Cause and Impact Analysis
Application Connectivity Monitor automatically monitors all discovered TCP
applications, and automatically isolates the root cause of application
outages, differentiating between network connectivity failures and
application failures.
In the case of network connectivity failures, Application Connectivity Monitor
works with Availability Manager and Service Assurance Manager to isolate
the specific network component that failed, providing end-to-end root cause
analysis. As with all EMC Smarts analysis products, the root cause problem
is automatically associated with all of the impacted systems and applications
to provide automated impact analysis.
With Business Impact Manager, users can also calculate the impact of these
infrastructure failures on business processes, services and customers.
Application Signature Configuration Interface
For Application Connectivity Monitor, the Domain Manager Administration
Console, which is accessed from the Global Console, includes an
Application Signature tab. The tab enables administrators and integrators to
access the Application Signature Configuration Interface through which they
can select, configure, and enable predefined application signatures. Once
selected, configured, and enabled, Application Connectivity Monitor uses
the signatures to discover and monitor managed applications.
