Setting up a String Search

As the string search function is integrated within each monitoring tool, you can add a string search in two ways:

•	Either during the creation of an application class instance

•	Or later, through the Edit function (while editing the properties and credentials of an instance)

Adding a string search during the creation of an application class instance

The option to add a string search appears on the Add Application Instance - Properties and Credentials page during the creation of every new application class instance.

1.	Enter the input properties for the instance and click on Add next to String Search.

2.	The page that displays shows the input properties entered for the new application class instance in the process of being created, followed by fields to add a string search for this new application class instance.

3.	Enter the required string search input properties and on clicking Next, the page displays all the properties for the application class under creation and the string search added. You can edit/delete the properties if they are incorrect. If not, click on Next.

You arrive next at the Thresholds, Properties and Credentials page: Here set/modify thresholds and alert conditions here for the application class instance as well as the string search just added. The application class instance generally has at least one parameter with default alert conditions activated; the string search has no alert conditions set by default. For details on parameters and thresholds, refer to the Reference Guide.

5.	Click Finish. A Changes Saved message indicates that the application class and its string search have been successfully added!

Adding a string search later through Edit

A string search can be added to an application class instance at any time. To do this you:

1.	In the Configure tab, click on the application class instance to which you wish to add the string search.

2.	The Edit Threshold, Properties and Credentials page appears. Click Edit.

3.	Scroll down to the application class instance Input Properties section, and click Edit.

4.	The Properties - Edit - Instance Properties and Credentials page appears. Click Add next to String Search:

5.	Enter the input properties for the string search and click Next.

6.	The page displays all the input properties. Verify the accuracy and click Next.

7.	You arrive next at the Thresholds, Properties and Credentials page: Here set/modify thresholds and alert conditions here for the string search just added. String search has no alert conditions set by default. For details on parameters and thresholds, refer to the Reference Guide.

8.	Click Finish. A Changes Saved message indicates that the string search has been successfully added!
