Create a Standard Application

A Standard application is a typical TCP application that connects to a port on the server. All traffic flows between that port and a port on the client. Any type of monitoring device can monitor a Standard application.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Applications in the Show Me menu.
3. (Optional) Choose a domain to filter the list of available server subnets and servers.
4. Create a user-defined application using one of the following methods:

   Create a new application

   Click Create New Application.

   Create a new application from an existing system-defined application

   Click a System application and then click Create New Application. To create an application that communicates on a range of ports, click the System applications you want.

5. Set the Application Type to Standard and then complete the fields in Application Properties:
   • Application Name.
   • Make this a Priority Application. Choose this option to specify that you do not want the management console to groom or filter the application.
   • Beginning Port. Beginning TCP port number for the port range.
   • Ending Port. Ending TCP port number for the port range.
   • Port Side. Choose an option to specify how the Standard application responds to client requests:
     • Application listens on these ports. Choose this option when the server listens for client requests within the specified port range. This is the default.
     • Application talks to these ports. Choose this option when the server responds to client requests within the specified port range on the client. This option is not applicable when monitoring an application with a Cisco NAM monitoring devide.
   • Incident Response. Choose an application incident response to specify how Application Delivery Analysis responds to a Network or Server incident that affects the application.
   • Availability Monitoring. Choose an option to enable or disable availability monitoring on the application. When enabled, the management console passively observes the availability of the application, and, if necessary, actively checks its availability.
   • Notes. (Optional) additional information about the application.

   For information about setting Standard application properties, click Help.

6. Click Next to assign server subnets and servers to the application, then click OK.

   For information about assigning servers to an application, click Help.

7. Click the link to synchronize monitoring devices with the current client network, server subnet, and application definitions on the management console.

   Monitoring devices temporarily stop monitoring application performance during synchronization. To minimize interruptions to monitoring, complete all of your changes before synchronizing monitoring devices.
