Adding a Physical Memory Utilization component to an application profile

The Physical Memory Utilization component allows you to monitor the percentage or absolute amount of physical memory being utilized on a specific device.

Note: Adding components to an application profile helps create the foundation of the application profile. After adding components to an application profile, you must create an instance to monitor a device. Learn more about APM terminology.

To add a Physical Memory Utilization component to an application profile:

1. From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, go to APM > Configuration. The All Application Profiles page appears.
2. Select the application profile for which you want to add a component, then click Edit/View Application Profile. The Components list appears.
3. Click Add Components. The Component Library appears.
4. Click the arrow next to Memory Utilization to expand the dialog controls used to add the component(s).
5. Specify the number of components you want to add by clicking the up and down arrows next to the credential and memory type for the component being added. You can add physical memory components using Physical Memory Using SNMP/Virtual or Physical Memory Using WMI.
6. Click Add Selected.
7. Click browse (...) next to the TEST Device box to launch the Select a Device dialog.

   

8. Select a device from the navigation tree on which to test the individual component and click OK.
9. Click Test to test the component on the selected device (optional). To remove the device override and revert to the device associated with the application component, click .

   Note: If no test device is selected, the component is tested on the test device associated with the application profile.

   Test devices are not saved as part of the application profile.

10. Enter or select the appropriate information in the Physical Memory Utilization component boxes.
11. Click Save to save your changes or click Save and Close to complete your changes.

To add a Physical Memory Utilization component to an application instance:

1. From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, go to APM > Configuration. The All Application Profiles page appears.
2. Select the application instance for which you want to add a component.
3. Click Add Components. The Component Library appears.
4. Click the arrow next to Memory Utilization.
5. Specify the number of components you want to add by clicking the up and down arrows next to the credential and memory type for the component being added. You can add physical memory components using Physical Memory Using SNMP/Virtual or Physical Memory Using WMI.
6. Click Add Selected.
7. Enter or select the appropriate information:
   • Enabled. Select this option to enable or disable the component.
   • Action Policy. Select an action policy from the list for the component.
   • Device Override. (Optional) Override the device associated with the instance and designate a specific device to assign to the component.
     • Click browse (...) next to the Device Override box to launch the Select a Device dialog.

       Important: If the device you want to use is configured with a WhatsUp Gold down dependency, make sure that you use a cloned device for this device selection in the APM plug-in. For more information, see the Dependencies overview.

     • Select a device from the navigation tree on which to test the individual component and click OK.
     • Click Test to test the component on the selected device.

   Note: Click to remove the device override and revert to the device associated with the application instance.

8. Enter or select the appropriate information in the Physical Memory Utilization component boxes.
9. Click Save to save your changes or click Save and Close to complete your changes.
