Step 2: Discover All Instances That Match the Definition
The discovery process runs the first time an application pattern definition is created. ADM searches the
database for the CIs that meet the criteria specified in the application pattern definition. If the criteria is met,
then an application pattern instance is created.
Alternatively, the discovery process is triggered manually at any time as follows:
1 Navigate to Manage > Application Pattern Definitions .
2 Select the appropriate application pattern definition.
3 Click Discover New Instances from the Actions pane on the left side of the screen.
Monitoring of the background process is done through the Last Discovery column.When the discovery
process is complete, the number of newly detected application pattern instances appear in the status bar
of the window.
4 In the Last Discovery column, click click here to view the application pattern instances that were
discovered.
Step 3: Viewing All Discovered Instances
After completing “Step 2: Discover All Instances That Match the Definition” on page 62, the Discovered
Application Pattern Instances page appears displaying the scope of these instances.
Select the application pattern instances that you would like to store and click Create .
Step 4: Storing Selected Instances as Groups
The application pattern instances are stored as groups and are viewed and managed from the Manage >
Application Pattern Instances tab.
Step 5: Discovering New Instances Automatically
You have an option to enable or disable the automatic discovery of new instances.
If the option Automatically discover new instances once a day is selected in the Application Pattern Definition,
the ADM database is searched for new Application Pattern instances. Newly discovered instances are
displayed and are saved manually as shown in “Step 3: Viewing All Discovered Instances” on page 62.
If the option is not selected, no new instances are discovered but a nightly refresh process synchronizes
existing instances with information in the ADM database. If changes in the Application Pattern Instance (for
example, relevant CIs were no longer discovered) render that instance irrelevant, the green check mark
disappears in the Valid column. You can delete such an instance manually, provided the instance is not part of
the scope of either Active Probing or Aging policies, nor part of a user ʹ s configuration.
