Create an application workload in HP Matrix OE visualization

The following procedure illustrates the case where an application manager wants to create an
application-based workload using processes discovered by Application Discovery , but that are
not currently recognized as an application by either Application Discovery or Matrix OE
visualization.

Prerequisites:

You must have “Matrix OE All tools” authorization to modify template attributes. (See “User
authorizations” in Matrix Operating Environment help for a discussion of tool box permissions
for Application Discovery and Matrix OE visualization.)

The processes that you want to include in the workload must be running on the system where
you are creating the workload.

NOTE:

You can create monitored workloads on HP-UX. Only whole-OS workloads are supported

on systems running Linux.

1.

Start by creating a workload in HP Matrix OE visualization.

To get to HP Matrix OE visualization, select Tools

→HP Matrix OE visualization on the top

menu bar.

The HP Matrix OE visualizationVisualization tab opens.

2.

Click Create

→Workload Definition... on the Visualization tab.

The Create Monitored Workload Definition screen opens.

3.

Choose a system, and type a workload name and description.

4.

Specify the Workload Definition Criteria to be 'by application' in the drop down.

5.

Optional: Select “Show All Running Applications” to see all currently discovered applications
on the selected system.

6.

Click the Create/Edit Application Template... link.

The AD Templates tab opens in the Application Discovery user interface.

7.

Click Create new AD template.

A new application template opens for editing.

8.

Fill in the

Application Identity

, the

System Scope

, the

Separation Rules

, and the

Aggregation

Rules

.

9.

Click Submit.

10. Click OK in the dialog box to confirm the template submission.

The new template displays.

11. Optional: Click the Admin/Config

→AD Agents tab to see what the process interval is for the

target system of this application template.

Assuming that the process interval is 5 minutes, that is the length of time to wait until Application
Discovery finds the new template to match to running processes on the target system.
