EMC OL-8950-01 Manuel D’Utilisation

The Standard Probe creates basic topology for:

The Software Service object (represents the discovered application).

The TCP endpoint through which the Software Service can be accessed.

A Software Element Check object that is instrumented with a specified 
monitoring action (tcpAction).

The Standard Probe also creates the following relationships:

Creates “Accessed Via” relationship with the target class instance for 
the TCP Endpoint Instance.

Creates “CheckedBy” relationship of the target class instance of an 
object that is instrumented with a specified monitoring action (tcpAction) 
to provide monitoring of the application.

Creates “HostedBy” relationship with the target class instance of the 
Unitary Computer System (for example, Host, Node, or Router) on 
which the application was discovered.

The Standard tcpAction is a monitoring action that monitors the tcp 
connectivity of the discovered elements by periodically polling the elements. 
It is the default monitoring action for all predefined, autodetect application 
signatures included with Application Connectivity Monitor.

After the Standard Probe discovers and creates a basic topology application 
object (SoftwareService) for a specified autodetect signature, it automatically 
initiates the Standard tcpAction monitoring action. Thereafter, the tcpAction 
periodically polls the element to determine the connectivity status of that 
element.

The polling interval of the tcpAction is set through the Polling and Thresholds 
Console.

Where applicable, the parameters of the Standard tcpAction can be 
changed through the Customize Monitoring Action Dialog. The parameters 
include:

address: the hostname or IP address of the server.

For autodetect signatures, this can be left blank. The information is 
collected at runtime.
