Modified Application Discovery

Discovering Unknown Applications can be challenging.

SAM should be able to:

  1. Scan a node (with the appropriate credentials)
  2. Identify the detected OS to end-user - asking for confirmation
  3. Then filter out all the standard OS Processes and Services showing a result of only non-standard (Non-OS Related) Processes and Services that could then be selected.
  4. After these selections are made they would then be able to be wrapped up into a template (With an Export to Thwack Content Exchange Button so you can post it DURING the process; cause I'm going to forget) and applied as an Application Monitor, further allowing them to be applied to multiple nodes in one fell swoop.

Ideally this filtering & application capability would be targeted first for Processes and Services first but could be extended through Performance Objects for a truly deep monitoring experience.

Again - this is speaking to non-standard applications - things that the Community doesn't have a template for or its so new - no ones encountered it yet.

This is not a replacement for on-going standard SAM Templates that are continually updated as the applications and platforms become updated.
