Creating and Configuring Application Signatures
20 EMC Smarts Application Connectivity Monitor Configuration Guide
The application signature is created in the ACM Domain Manager and is
enabled. It is then used to discover the application:
• When discovery is manually invoked with Discover All
• When the next discovery cycle is initiated
• When a new system is added to the topology of the ACM Domain
Manager
Enabled Autodetect application signatures can be launched on demand for
a given system. To do so, right click on that system in the Domain Manager
Administration Console and select Rediscover.
Note: The information required for application signatures should be available to
the administrator (or other authorized person) who will define and configure
the signatures. If necessary, it can be gathered from the network
environment, a common source of information.
In the table, the Port Number, Request, and Response specify the discovery
criteria used by the signature. The Application Class and Application Name
Prefix entries provide information about the application and specify the class
for the application if one is detected.
See The Standard Discovery Probe on page 27 for a discussion of the
Standard Probe.

topology of the ACM Domain Manager.
