By default, application monitor settings are not available in this release of the Storage Mirroring

1. If you select the Enable Application Monitoring checkbox, the remaining fields in Application

application health.
3. In the Error Threshold field, enter the number of consecutive errors that can be received
before an error alert appears.

script, or click Browse to locate a script.
5. In the Username field, enter the fully-qualified user name that will be used to run WMI scripts.
The fully-qualified user name must be in the format domain\username or
username@domain.

7. Click the Test button to validate that the specified credentials are sufficient to run WMI scripts.
WARNING: This feature is currently BETA and should not be used in production environments.
NOTE: A message box will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to use this BETA
feature. To continue, click OK.
Application monitoring is not available when dealing with a cluster.
NOTE: If you select Custom Script, you will also need to designate whether to use .PS1
(PowerShell) or .VB (VisualBasic) as the Script Engine. Make sure you select the
appropriate engine for your script type.
An example script that you can use as a basis for creating your custom script is
included in the \Samples subfolder where the Application Manager is installed.
NOTE: The required credentials for running WMI scripts is full WMI access to the CIMV2
namespace. Under Windows 2008, the supplied credentials must also be allowed
through DCOM and User Access Control. It is recommended that a group be created
for running scripts, and that the required permissions be given to the group.
By default, the administrative group of a Windows 2008 machine has full WMI access.
However, DCOM and User Access Control settings may need to be adjusted.
