Features of Application Discovery

You can use Application Discovery to do the following:

Automate discovery of standard applications supplied with HP-UX and Linux operating systems.
Automate discovery of applications often run on HP-UX and Linux operating systems within data centers. For example, Application Discovery includes templates to discover common applications generated by Oracle® and SAP software.

Find unmatched processes that represent third-party or custom software.
Edit or create an application discovery template to make it specific to your environment.
Determine the location of running and installed applications.
Monitor the activity of running processes and applications.
Define severity for application-oriented events to trigger notification messages, and control where the messages display (in Application Discovery and/or HP SIM).
Discover the presence or absence of Application Discovery agents and check their status.
Monitor the behavior and performance of the Application Discovery server.

Configuring Application Discovery behavior and changing template definitions requires VSE All Tools access (which usually corresponds to root or Administrator permissions). See “User Authorizations” in VSE Management Software Help for more information about VSE tool boxes in HP SIM and how they affect user access to Application Discovery features.

Visibility of systems and applications depends on the permissions a user has for each managed system and application. Users can see only those systems and applications in Application Discovery tables that they already have permission to access or view.
