Application Patterns
ADM
discovers
business
applications
by
creating
application
patterns.
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
instances
in
the
topology
graph.
Connectivity
rules
describe
the
edges
in
the
topology
graph
(that
is,
the
connectivity
between
two
instances).
The
VMware
vCenter
Application
Discovery
Manager
Online
Help
contains
task
‐
based
information
on
application
patterns.
Changes
ADM
allows
you
to
create
policies
that
help
you
track
application
behavior
and
alerts
you
when
changes
occur
in
your
environment.
These
changes
might
be
demand
changes,
such
as
a
higher
number
of
transactions
for
a
service,
or
behavior
changes
such
as
new
clients
accessing
a
service
or
new
services
added
into
the
application
environment.
A
change
tracking
policy
is
a
rule
that
governs
what
happens
when
a
specified
change
occurs
among
the
discovered
items
in
a
group.
A
group
can
have
multiple
policies
defined
for
it.
Change
tracking
policies
run
only
after
the
system
is
in
the
monitoring
stage,
after
completing
discovery.
Change
policies
are
displayed
in
the
Change
Tracking
Policies
List
