Configuring APM application settings
The APM Application Settings page allows you to configure application states and set APM-specific data retention schedules.
To access APM Application Settings:
- Click the Application Settings icon
in the upper-right corner of the page and click Application Settings. The Application Settings interface appears. - Click Application Performance Management under Application Settings.
You can configure APM to report certain application states as either Up or Down. These states are:
- Warning
- Maintenance
- Unknown
The default setting for all three is Up.
To modify how SLA-related reports are displayed:
- Determine one or more reporting states you want to change.
- Select Up or Down from the list to the right of each state.
- Click Save. Applications in the applicable state are now reported as either Up or Down depending on your selection.
You can also configure APM to retain multiple data types for a specific duration. These data types are:
- Hourly
- Raw
- Action log
- Resolved Items log
- State change log
The default setting for all three is 90 days.
To modify data retention schedules:
- Determine one or more data types for which you want to change the duration of retention.
- Enter the number of days in the data entry boxes to the right of each applicable data type.
- Click Save.
Important: If the APM Application Settings Component and group data check box is selected, reporting and log activity for any application profile or profile type selected on the APM Status tab includes data for all components and groups under your selection in the navigation tree. Deselecting this check box increases performance of the APM Status page.
To use End User Monitor components when the WhatsUp Gold IIS instance is using a non-standard port, such as for SSL:
Click Auto Detect to update the iDrone Manager Service’s URL automatically.
Important: If your WhatsUp Gold server is configured to use SSL, verify the resulting URL starts with https and the host name is exactly the same host name you are using to access the Application Settings interface. In addition, the host name must match the common name (Subject) in the certificate configured on the WhatsUp Gold IIS instance exactly.
