EMC Smarts Application Connectivity Monitor Configuration Guide
Application Connectivity Monitor operates in conjunction with Availability 
Manager and Service Assurance Manager. Availability Manager provides 
the network topology for Application Connectivity Monitor. Service 
Assurance Manager collects the results of the deployment’s root-cause 
analysis, and presents those results to network operations personnel through 
its Global Console.
Managing Applications with Application Connectivity 
Monitor
A typical large-scale application deployment can include numerous software 
services and hardware devices, all of which must interact in a prescribed 
fashion to provide a business service. It follows, then, that there is a need for 
a scalable solution for monitoring the availability of hundreds or thousands 
of applications, along with the ability to automatically differentiate 
application failures from network connectivity failures.
Application Connectivity Monitor addresses this fundamental problem of 
application management in the following ways:
Helps the user define the application to be managed, and helps the user 
through the process of discovering and monitoring the appropriate 
components.
Codebook Correlation Technology™ requires only a small subset of the 
events that occur in such an environment to perform root-cause analysis. 
The InCharge Common Information Model (ICIM) used by Application 
Connectivity Monitor models only the necessary components; this 
obviates the need for the complete topological infrastructure and the 
monitoring of every component and device.

Application Connectivity Monitor comes pre-configured with application 
signatures for all common TCP based applications based on IANA 
registered ports. In addition, users can easily create new signatures using 
the Application Signature Configuration Interface.
