An application specifies a TCP port or port range that you want the management console to monitor across a range of server IP addresses. For example, the management console can monitor TCP-80 traffic across a /29 server subnet.
ManagingApplications applicationspecifies a TCP port or port range that you want the management console to monitor across a range of server IP addresses. For example, the management console can monitor TCP-80 traffic across a /29 server subnet.
By default, the management console automatically creates system-defined applications to monitor TCP sessions on all application ports and servers, across all client networks. For example, if the management console is configured to monitor several /24 server subnets, the management console creates a system-defined Microsoft SQL Server application to monitor TCP-1433 traffic across all servers. As new servers with matching IP addresses are provisioned, the management console automatically monitors them.
port exclusionto ignore TCP sessions on a particular port or range of ports across all server subnets, a particular server subnet, or a particular server.
From the list of system-defined applications, you can create a user-defined application based on your expert knowledge rather than just the information that is available from the TCP header, to report on the actual servers that host the application. For example, to report on the performance of a particular database application, create a user-defined SQL Server application and assign an application subnet that identifies the appropriate servers which host the application.
Alternatively, if you know that the same application always runs on the same port, let the management console automatically monitor the application across all of your servers.
When registered as a data source with the CA PC or the CA NPC, the CA PC or CA NPC automatically groups all applications for reporting.
If you have defined domains in the CA PC or the CA NPC, you can choose a domain to filter the observed application traffic.
