Create a Web Application

Create a Web application by specifying the path of the resource on the Web server that you want to monitor. The management console automatically creates a Web application to report on matching HTTP traffic across all servers that are assigned to the application.

Important!.To monitor HTTP traffic for a specific resource, you must use the Packets monitor feed on a CA Standard Monitor.

You must specify at least one resource path that you want to monitor.

Important! If you want to monitor all HTTP traffic on a server, create a Standard Application that monitors TCP-80 or TCP-8080 traffic.

Follow these steps to create a Web Application:

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. Scroll to the Application List and click Create New Application.
5. Set the Application Type to Web.
6. Complete the fields in Application Properties.

   For information about setting Web application properties, click Help.

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

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

8. 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.

9. Edit the server properties to verify that each server which is assigned to the application is also assigned to the Packets monitor feed on a CA Standard Monitor. The Packets monitor feed is required to monitor a Web application.
