How Memory Usage is Calculated

Application Discovery works from within HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to give you the ability to inventory running and installed applications across your system network and to centrally monitor application activity.

Within VSE Management Software, Application Discovery integrates with Virtualization Manager to give you the power to group running processes into custom applications that can be added to a workload for more comprehensive resource management.

The Application Discovery server and user interface run on the central management server (CMS). Working in tandem with the agent that you install on your managed systems, Application Discovery gives you access to system and process information captured by the deployed agents.

With Application Discovery, you can do the following:

Discover the location and number of recognized, running and installed applications in your network or data center.
Monitor the activity and resource usage of running processes and applications.
Define and adapt application templates to your environment for better discovery of your third-party and custom applications, and to make them available for adding to monitored workloads.
Select the event types for which you want to receive notifications and set their level of importance.
