Application Monitoring

An application is a group of identical or similar components divided based on service requirements. Applications are categorized into system applications and custom applications. The former are discovered based on built-in rules while the latter are discovered based on custom rules.

Applications are defined to facilitate component O&M. The definition methods of applications are as follows:

On the application discovery page of AOM, configure information to create an application. For details, see Configuring Application Discovery Rules. You can customize an application name or add a system application name.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Monitoring > Application Monitoring.

    Set filter criteria above the application list to filter applications.

  2. Click an application. On the details page that is displayed, manage and monitor components in batches by application.

    You can also view the component list, host list, and alarm analysis result of the current application.

  3. During routine O&M, you can monitor various metrics of applications on the View Monitor Graphs tab page.

    • Creating a view template

      AOM provides default view templates (such as Application Template) that you can modify. You can also click the plus sign (+) in to customize a view template.

    • Adding a metric graph
      • You can click to add a line graph or to add a digit graph to the view template. You can also delete, move, and copy metric graphs in the view template. For details, see Dashboard.
    • Adding to a dashboard

      On the application details page, click the View Monitor Graphs tab, and choose More > Add To Dashboard in the upper right corner to add the view template to the dashboard for monitoring.

  4. Perform the following operations if needed:

    • Adding an application

      For identical or similar components that are discovered by default discovery rules or that are not installed with Application Performance Management (APM) probes, you can group them logically, that is, add them to the same application for monitoring.

      In the upper right corner of the Application Monitoring page, click Create Application. On the displayed page, add a custom application discovery rule. For details, see Configuring Application Discovery Rules. You can monitor the application after adding it. AOM can display O&M information by component. For details, see Component Monitoring.
