Have you recently restored or removed and reinstalled the CMS? :
A restore or removal of the central management server also removes the certificate recognition
previously established between Application Discovery server on the CMS and Application
Discovery agents on managed nodes. This relationship must be re-established when the
CMS is reinstalled or restored by completing the Application Discovery certificate exchange.
3.
Check that Application Discovery is showing that the discovery ratio is 100%.
a.
Click the following tabs in Application Discovery: Admin/Config, then Discovery.
b.
Find the following column headings in the data table on this screen. Check that the
value for Discovery ratio is 100%.
When the discovery ratio is less than 100%, this may indicate that an inventory is still
being taken for that host. Expect the warm-up period for completing the process
inventory to take about 20 minutes.
4.
Check that any usage of regular expression syntax in the defining application template
is correct.
Application Discovery recognizes regular expressions constructed using Perl 5 or POSIX
syntax and semantics.
5.
Check that any string or regular expression used in the executable path field of the defining
application template describes the desired running process.
Application Discovery differs from Global Workload Manager (gWLM) in how it matches
user input data to discovered applications. gWLM uses a combination of a fully qualified
path and retrieved inode information to find a process on one managed node. Application
Discovery does not infer the location of running processes based on the presence or location
of installed applications. For broader coverage of all running processes (not just those
associated with installed software packages) within a network of machines, Application
Discovery matches strings and regular expressions exactly when comparing templates to
running processes.
It may help to think of the difference between AD and gWLM this way:
•
In AD, an executable and arg[0] are compared directly to one another to make a match.
•
In gWLM, the inode of an executable and the inode of arg[0] are compared to one
another to make a match.
The following examples demonstrate the different results that you can expect when using
the same executable and arguments in Application Discovery as compared to Global
Workload Manager (gWLM).
