I see in the templates in APM there are templates for web server, mail server, etc What do people use for just a plain ol' app server don't see a template listed for that. I have some app servers that groups want running application monitored.
Application monitoring has to be defined and customized for the application in question, so there's no such thing as a "plain ol' app server." You've got some sensible default templates built in, anything else you'll need to create yourself.
What's the app? IIS? JBoss? Tomcat? Is this a Windows or a Unix system? You've got to think about the processes and/or Windows services that make up the application.
I have both windows and UNIX servers. I have figured out the Windows ones pretty much, have groups supply the executable name and add to a template, any ideas on the UNIX stuff?
