Chapter 1: SiteScope Monitor CategoriesSiteScope monitors are grouped according to classes that indicates their availability and categorythat reflect their function. When you select to add a new monitor to a SiteScope agent, the list ofavailable monitor types for that agent are displayed both alphabetically and divided by category inthe product interface. The availability of the monitor category is dependent on the class of monitor.Note: User permissions and credentials are needed to access each monitor. For details on therequired permissions and credentials, and the corresponding protocol used by each monitor,see "Monitor Permissions and Credentials" on page 19.This section describes the monitor classes and the category listing formats. To see the list ofmonitors contained in each monitor category, see Monitor Categories List.Standard MonitorsStandard monitor categories represent the monitor categories available with a general SiteScopelicense. These monitor categories include many of the general purpose monitor categories.lApplication Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor third-party applications. Thesemonitors enable SiteScope to access and retrieve data from the monitored applications.lBig Data. Monitors in this category monitor Big Data platforms to gain real-time visibility andinsight into the health and performance of the big data infrastructure.lDatabase Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor different types of database applications.There are monitors that access data from specific database applications and generic monitorsthat can be configured to monitor any database application.lGeneric Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor different types of environment. Thesemonitors can monitor networks, applications, and databases depending on how they areconfigured.lMedia Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor applications that play media files and streamdata.lNetwork Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor network health and availability.lServer Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor server health and availability.lVirtualization and Cloud Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor virtualized environmentsand cloud infrastructures.lWeb Transaction Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor web-based applications.Customizable MonitorsCustom monitors broaden the capabilities of regular SiteScope monitors for tracking the availabilityand performance of your infrastructure systems and applications. Using custom monitors, you candevelop your own solutions for environments that are not supported by predefined SiteScopeHP SiteScope (11.23)Page 10 of 926
Monitor ReferenceChapter 1: SiteScope Monitor Categoriesmonitors.You can create your own monitor that collects data, and define a script that processes the collecteddata and creates metrics. Each time the custom monitor runs, it updates the metrics and returns astatus for the metrics defined in the script.Custom monitors can be published to the HP Live Network for sharing with other SiteScope users.For more details on using Custom monitors, see Creating Custom Monitors.Integration MonitorsIntegration monitors are used to capture and forward data from third-party domain managers orapplications (typically Enterprise Management Systems (EMS)) into BSM.These monitor types require additional licensing and may only be available as part of another HPproduct. For more information about Integration Monitor capabilities, see Integration Monitors.Solution Template MonitorsSolution template monitor types are a special class of monitors that enable new monitoringcapabilities for specific applications and environments. As part of a solution template, thesemonitor types are deployed automatically together with other, standard monitor types to provide amonitoring solution that incorporates best practice configurations. These monitor types arecontrolled by option licensing and can only be added by deploying the applicable solution template.After they have been deployed, you can edit or delete them using the same steps as with othermonitor types. For more information, see Deploying Solution Templates.SiteScope provides the following solution templates that include standard SiteScope monitor typesand solution-specific monitors:lActive Directory (with and without Global Catalog)lAIX HostlHadooplHP Quality CenterlHP Service ManagerlHP VerticalJBoss Application ServerlLinux Host (OS )lMicrosoft ExchangelMicrosoft IIS ServerlMicrosoft Lync ServerlMicrosoft SharePointHP SiteScope (11.23)Page 11 of 926

Chapter 3: Monitor Permissions and CredentialsThis section contains a table of SiteScope monitors. Each monitor is listed with its correspondingprotocol, the user permissions and credentials needed to access the monitor, and any further notes.The purpose of this section is to provide you with basic information about the permissions neededto secure your SiteScope monitors.MonitorNameProtocol /TechnologyUser Permissionsand CredentialsAmazon WebServicesHTTPSAWS AccessKey ID,AWS SecretKeyApacheServerHTTP,HTTPSNone needed unlessrequired to access theserver statistics PHP SiteScope (11.23)Community string.NotesThis monitor uses secret access keysprovided by Amazon. User can findthem at Amazon's official site underthe user’s profile. The HTTPconnection is secured.This monitor does not support SNMPV3, so the community string passesplain text over the network. Thetarget's SNMP agent may beconfigured so that the communitystring can only be used to read asubset of the MIB. The implication forsuch a configuration is that if anunauthorized person obtained thecommunity string, he would only beable to read OIDs from the agent (butnot be able to set them).Page 19 of 926
Monitor ReferenceChapter 3: Monitor Permissions and CredentialsMonitorNameProtocol /TechnologyUser Permissionsand CredentialsCisco WorksSNMPCommunity string oruser name/password,depending on SNMPversion.NotesThe safest possible configuration forthis monitor is running it against anagent configured to use SNMP V3 withauthentication (SHA or MD5) and DESencryption for privacy. In thisconfiguration, no unencrypted SNMPdata passes over the network. Thisgreatly reduces the risk that amalicious user could compromise themonitored device. It does not take intoaccount security vulnerabilities fromimplementation bugs in the monitoreddevice's SNMP agent.The riskiest configuration of thismonitor is to use SNMP V1 with acommunity string that has both readand write access on the entire MIBimplemented by the agent on themonitored device. In this configuration,a malicious user could obtain thecommunity string by eavesdropping onthe network, and then use thatcommunity string to reconfigure thedevice.Citrix ServerNetBIOS,WMISpecific accessSee notes in "Monitoring Performancepermissions areObjects on Windows" on page 41.required for monitoringperformance objectson Windows (see"MonitoringPerformance Objectson Windows" on page41).ColdFusionNetBIOS,WMISpecific accessSee notes in "Monitoring Performancepermissions areObjects on Windows" on page 41.required for monitoringperformance objectson Windows (see"MonitoringPerformance Objectson Windows" on page41).HP SiteScope (11.23)Page 20 of 926
