To use this option:
1 Specify the System names pattern(s) and click the Apply button. (The
example in the figure shows the System names pattern default “*”.) For
additional information about matching patterns and the use of wildcard
characters in patterns, see Wildcards Used By EMC Smarts Software on
page 43.
2 Select Use on selected systems.
3 The list in the dialog is updated with the systems that match the applied
system names pattern.

The Standard Discovery Probe
The Standard Probe is a program that, when combined with an application
signature that is defined through the Application Signature Configuration
Interface, automatically discovers TCP-based applications (based on the
Application Class specified in the signatures).
The Standard Probe provides the following functionality:
• It creates basic application topology, specified through the Application
Signature Configuration Interface for the application.
• It sets up monitoring for the discovered application by creating a
corresponding check, and instrumenting it with the action specified
through the Application Signature Configuration Interface.
When an application signature is set up with the Standard Probe as the
probe for the named application, the probe is automatically invoked
whenever a new system with matching criteria is added to the topology. The
probe then proceeds to create a basic topology application object
(SoftwareService) and additional topology information.
The Standard Probe also sets up monitoring for the created application using
information in the Monitoring Action of the application signature.
The discovery interval for the probe is set in the Topology tab.
