Filter Applications

An application is a set of requests and responses on a TCP port or range of ports. The Configuration Utility automatically detects the port traffic on a server and displays the application ports in the Detected Applications pane.

Apply an Application filter on an application port to determine the servers that have networks accessing these ports. For example, filtering a port displays a list of associated servers and networks.

Sort this list by clicking a column header:

Description

Displays the name for the application port. If you see the same application name listed as both a configured application (green) and an unconfigured application (black), a server has traffic on the application port, but it is not monitored by CA ADA.

Bytes To and Bytes From, and Packets To and Packets From

Displays applications with the most traffic. As a best practice, we recommend monitoring the busiest applications.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Detected Applications pane, right-click a port and click Apply description (port) as Application Filter.

    If you want to filter an application by a port range, type the port range, for example, 60-80, in the Application Filter detection criteria field and press Enter.

  2. (Optional) Add the network or server definitions to CA ADA..
