To configure application monitoring for custom applications

1. In the Symantec High Availability view of the Veritas Operations Manager Management Server Console, click Configure Application Monitoring.

   This launches the Symantec ApplicationHA Configuration Wizard.

2. Review the information on the Welcome screen and then click Next.

   The wizard lists all the supported applications for the system.

3. Select Custom Application, and then click Next.

   The Program Selection screen appears.

4. To specify the application components to monitor, click Add Component.

   The Application Component Parameters dialog box appears.

5. Specify the names of the program scripts and the user name by using which the application must be administered.

   Note:

   The wizard automatically populates the Display Name for the specified component. You can, however, edit the information in this field. Also, ensure that you specify a user with valid credentials and adequate privileges on the virtual machine (guest) where you configure the generic agent. Else, application monitoring may fail.

6. Click OK.

   The specified component appears on the Program Selection screen.

7. To specify more application components for monitoring, repeat step 4 to step 6. Else, click Next.

   The Define Start Stop Order screen appears. The screen lists the previously selected components.

8. In the Parent Component list, click a component.

   The other components you specified in steps 4 to 7 appear in the Components list.

   
9. To set up dependency with the specified parent component, in the Components list, click a component. Repeat this step for all parent components.
10. Click Configure.

    The wizard performs the application monitoring configuration tasks. The ApplicationHA Configuration screen displays the status of each task.

    After all the tasks are complete, click Next.

    Note:

    If the configuration tasks fail, click Diagnostic informationto check the details of the failure. You then have to run the wizard again to configure the application monitoring.

11. Click Finish to complete the wizard.

    This completes the application monitoring configuration. See Sample configuration for init and custom processes.

12. To view the status of the configured application on a virtual machine, on the Veritas Operations Manager Management Server console, right-click the appropriate virtual machine and then click Manage ApplicationHA.

    The Symantec High Availability view appears.

    

    By default, the Component List tab appears. The tab lists each component of the configured application and the status description of each component.

    For more information on viewing and administering applications through Veritas Operations Manager, see the Symantec ApplicationHA User's Guide.

13. To view component dependency for the monitored application, click the Component Dependency tab.

    The component dependency graph appears.

    

    The graph illustrates the dependencies between a selected component group (an application or a group of inter-related components) and its components for the configured application. The left pane displays component groups and/or configured applications. The right pane displays components of the selected component group or application.

    For more information on viewing component dependency for any configured application, see the Symantec ApplicationHA User's Guide.
