Application-centric monitoring

Hi, SAM gurus,

My team is working on an ongoing project to build out our monitoring in a fashion which is focused on application health. Unfortunately, we don't have the kind of cookie-cutter architecture that makes it easy. Instead, we have dozens of internally-built applications which run as Windows services, *nix daemons, Web applications and sites, etc., pointing back to SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, redis, etc. As a result, my team has had to do a lot of manual labor in terms of tagging individual servers or assets with information relating to specific services, which is both time-consuming and prone to error. Is there a better way to implement this kind of solution?

Thanks!

Tom

The 'Assign to group' option can help if you have several servers of a specific type/function. Assign a SAM temple to the group. Any server added to that group automatically inherits the template. If you can leverage Custom Properties on nodes and a Group's ability to do Dynamic Queries off Custom Properties to bring everything in. That's a fairly straight forward way to do it.
