solutionthatusesagentlessdiscoveryandprovidescontinuousdependencymappingofapplications.

ADMhelpsyougainanunderstandingofyourservicedependencies.ADMalsoprovidesautomatedand

What Does ADM Do?

ADMperformsthefollowinghigh‐levelfunctions:

ADMdiscoversConfigurationItems(CIs).Italsodiscoverstherelationshipsanddependenciesbetween

theseinstancesinrealtime.ThediscoverydataisstoredintheManagementDataRepository.Themap

featureintheUserInterface(UI)providesagraphicalrepresentationoftherelationshipsand

dependenciesbetweenalltheCIs.

ADMdeterminesthebaselineofusagefortheseconfigurationitems.Further,theADMdetects

inconsistenciesfromthenorm.

ADMprovidesimpactandpredictivereportingandhelpsyoutroubleshooterrors.

ADMhelpstoaccuratelyanswerthefollowingquestions:

Whathosts,applications,andconnectionsdoIhave?

HowareCIsused?

Whatarethedependenciesamongthem?

ConfigurationItem(CI) ACIisahost(thiscanalsoincludenetworkdevicessuchasswitchesorrouters),an

application(alsoknownasaservice),oranetworkconnection.Forexample,aLinux

Discovery Discoveryisacontinuousprocessthatcreatesandmaintainsadetailedmodelofyour

applicationenvironment.ADMdiscoversCIs.Chapter 5containsmoreinformation

aboutdiscovery.

ManagementData

Repository(MDR)

TheMDRisthedatabaseofADM.Whenconfigurationiteminformationis

discovered,itisstoredintheMDRafterreconciliation.

Groups Agroupisabuilt‐inoruser‐definedcollectionofoneormoreCIs.Theadminuserscan

creategroupssothattheycaneasilyview,analyze,andtrackthespecificsubsetof

data.GroupcreationallowstheadminusertoclassifyCIsintologicalsetsor

collectionssothatactionssuchascreatingreports,policies,orviewingtheinventory

isappliedtospecificgroups,insteadoftheentiredatabaseofCIs.Chapter 4contains

moreinformationaboutgroups.

Change AchangeisanychangetoaCI.Forexample,achangetoaconfigurationfileonahost

isachange.

Changetracking Changetrackingreferstoachangeinthediscoveredenvironment,suchasachange

policiesthattrackbehavioralchangesinyourapplicationenvironment.

Applicationpattern ADMdiscoversbusinessapplicationsbycreatingapplicationpatterns.Theadminuser

cancreatethesefromtheManagetab,oraVMwareProfessionalServices

representativecanprovideyouthese.Anapplicationpatterndefinitionconsistsofset

ofrulesthatdescribetherequestedpattern.Thetwosetofrulesarenoderulesand

connectivityrules.ADManalyzestheapplicationpatterndefinitionanddiscovers

instancesoftheapplicationpattern.Noderulesaregroup‐likerulesthatdescribethe

graph(thatis,theconnectivitybetweentwoinstances).

Entityaging ADMletsyoucreateentityagingpolicies.Forexample,aservicerunninginyour
