Application Pattern Instances

ADM analyzes newly created application pattern definition and discovers instances of the application pattern.
An application pattern instance is a set of components (hosts, services, and so on) and their relations that
answer an application pattern definition. This definition is applied against the repository thus resulting in a
display of all application pattern instances that match that definition.

Viewing Application Pattern Definitions and Instances

The application pattern definitions and instances are viewed and managed through the Manage tab. The
VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager Online Help contains field descriptions and information about
using the interface.

Application Pattern Definitions

The Application Patterns List contains general information about existing application pattern definitions. To
access the Application Patterns List, navigate to Manage > Application Pattern Definitions. The Application
Patterns List is shown below.
Table 6‐1 describes the columns that appear in the Application Patterns List.
