16 MPs in one .msi
4 MP Guides

(known issues & quick start guide)

WORKING WITH JAVA MONITORING

Customer Actions

1. Import Java MPs

Monitoring Scenarios

Which app servers are deployed?

Are they running?

TWO TYPES OF DISCOVERY

Automatic Discovery
By registry key on Windows
Different application server editions have different regkeys
Regkeys created under HKEY_USERS can be removed when user is not logged in

By command line option of running processes

Discoverable only when process is running
Process name can be changed
Command line option can be customized

Manual Discovery
By supplying a list of URLs to a Powershell script
Deep monitoring only
Agentless, management server (pool) must have access to application
server URLs
